CAS 3689-24-5: Sulfotep
Description:Sulfotep, with the CAS number 3689-24-5, is an organophosphorus compound primarily used as an insecticide and acaricide in agricultural applications. It is characterized by its ability to inhibit acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme critical for the proper functioning of the nervous system in insects, leading to paralysis and death. Sulfotep is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. The compound is known for its effectiveness against a wide range of pests, including aphids, mites, and certain beetles. However, due to its toxicity, particularly to non-target organisms, including humans and aquatic life, its use is subject to strict regulations in many countries. Safety precautions are essential when handling Sulfotep, as it can pose health risks through inhalation, skin contact, or ingestion. Overall, while Sulfotep is effective in pest control, its environmental and health impacts necessitate careful management and adherence to safety guidelines.
