α-Endosulfan

Description:
α-Endosulfan, with the CAS number 959-98-8, is an organochlorine insecticide and acaricide known for its effectiveness against a variety of pests. It is a colorless to pale yellow solid with a faint, sweet odor. This compound is characterized by its relatively low solubility in water but high solubility in organic solvents, which facilitates its application in agricultural settings. α-Endosulfan exhibits a high degree of stability under normal conditions, but it can degrade under extreme environmental conditions, such as high temperatures or in the presence of strong oxidizing agents. Its mode of action primarily involves disrupting the nervous system of insects by inhibiting the function of neurotransmitters. While effective, α-Endosulfan is also associated with environmental and health concerns, leading to restrictions and bans in several countries due to its potential to bioaccumulate and its toxicity to non-target organisms, including aquatic life and humans. Proper handling and application are crucial to mitigate its risks.
