Dimethlyvinphos is a synthetic insecticide from the active ingredient group of organophosphates . It was launched in 1966.

Extraction and presentation

Dimethylvinphos is produced analogously to the structurally related tetrachlorvinphos . The reaction of 1,3-dichlorobenzene with dichloroacetyl chloride gives 2,2,2 ', 4', 5'- pentachloroacetophenone . This in turn reacts with trimethyl phosphite to form dimethyl vinphos.

Structure and properties

There are two diastereomers of dimethylvinphos. However, more than 95% of the ( Z ) -isomer occurs in technical products .

Dimethylvinphos is a white, crystalline solid that is very sparingly soluble in water. The substance is unstable in sunlight and hydrolyzes in neutral water with a half-life of 40 days.

Use and mode of action

In countries where Dimethylvinphos is approved, it is available as a powder under the name Rangado .

Dimethylvinphos is mainly used as an insecticide in rice cultivation. It is mainly used against curlers and stalk-boring insects. It acts both as a contact poison and as a food poison.

The effect of Dimethylvinphos is based on the inhibition of acetylcholinesterase in insects. This prevents the nervous system from transmitting signals, which can lead to paralysis, respiratory failure and even death.

Analytics

The reliable detection and quantification of dimethylvinphos can be carried out using liquid chromatographic methods. A mass spectrometer can be used for identification after the chromatographic separation .

Admission

Dimethylvinphos is not approved in the European Union or Switzerland . In the EU, the maximum residue limit in all foods is 0.01 mg / kg.
