Fenthion sulfone

Description:
Fenthion sulfone, with the CAS number 3761-42-0, is an organophosphorus compound that serves primarily as an insecticide and acaricide. It is a metabolite of fenthion, which is used in agricultural applications to control a variety of pests. Fenthion sulfone 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 of the target organisms. The compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinct odor. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water. Due to its potential toxicity to non-target organisms, including humans and wildlife, fenthion sulfone is subject to regulatory scrutiny, and its use is often restricted or monitored in many regions. Safety measures are essential when handling this substance to mitigate risks associated with exposure. Overall, fenthion sulfone exemplifies the complexities of pesticide chemistry, balancing efficacy against pests with environmental and health considerations.
