Thiometon

Description:
Thiometon, with the CAS number 640-15-3, 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 crucial for the proper functioning of the nervous system in insects, leading to paralysis and death. Thiometon is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor, and 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 and mites, making it valuable in crop protection. However, due to its toxicity to non-target organisms, including humans and wildlife, its use is subject to strict regulations in many countries. Safety precautions are essential when handling thiometon, as it can pose health risks through inhalation, skin contact, or ingestion. Overall, while thiometon is effective in pest control, its environmental and health impacts necessitate careful management and adherence to safety guidelines.
