CAS 7292-16-2: Propaphos
Description:Propaphos, with the CAS number 7292-16-2, 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. Propaphos 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, making it valuable in crop protection. However, like many organophosphates, it poses potential risks to non-target organisms, including humans, if not handled properly. Safety measures are essential when using Propaphos, including protective equipment and adherence to recommended application guidelines to minimize environmental impact and health risks. Its use is regulated in many countries, reflecting concerns over its toxicity and the need for responsible management in agricultural practices.
