CAS 72-43-5: Methoxychlor
Description:Methoxychlor, with the CAS number 72-43-5, is an organochlorine compound that is primarily used as an insecticide and pesticide. It is a synthetic derivative of DDT, designed to exhibit similar insecticidal properties while being less persistent in the environment. Methoxychlor is characterized by its chemical structure, which includes methoxy groups that enhance its effectiveness against a variety of pests. It is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a faint odor. The compound is lipophilic, allowing it to accumulate in fatty tissues of organisms, which raises concerns regarding its potential effects on wildlife and human health. Methoxychlor has been shown to disrupt endocrine functions, leading to reproductive and developmental issues in various species. Due to these health and environmental concerns, its use has been restricted or banned in several countries. Overall, while Methoxychlor was once a popular pesticide, its safety profile has led to increased scrutiny and regulation in agricultural practices.
