    In the US, it is the most commonly used organophosphate insecticide. [6] A malathion mixture with corn syrup was used in the 1980s in Australia and California to combat the Mediterranean fruit fly. [7] In Canada and the US starting in the early 2000s, malathion was sprayed in many cities to combat west Nile virus. [8]

    An example SDS, including guidance for handling a hazardous substance and information on its composition and properties. A safety data sheet (SDS), [1] material safety data sheet (MSDS), or product safety data sheet (PSDS) is a document that lists information relating to occupational safety and health for the use of various substances and products.

    The University of Hertfordshire maintains a database of the chemical and biological properties of these materials, [2] including their brand names and the countries and dates where and when they have been introduced. [3] The industry-sponsored Insecticide Resistance Action Committee (IRAC) advises on the use of insecticides in crop protection ...

  6. Organothiophosphate - Wikipedia

    P 2 S 5 + 4 ROH → 2 (RO) 2 PS 2 H + H 2 S. Dimethyl dithiophosphoric acid and diethyl dithiophosphoric acid are obtained in this way. The former is a precursor to malathion. In the Michalski reaction, a thiophosphate reacts with chlorine gas to give a diorganylphosphorylsulfenyl chloride: [5] (RO) 3 PS + Cl 2 → (RO) 2 P(O)SCl + RCl

  7. Fenitrothion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fenitrothion

    Fenitrothion at sublethal doses affected the motor movement of marsupials, [6] and at acute dose levels it reduced the energy of birds. [7]In chronic (low) dose tests, unexpectedly only the lowest concentration (0.011 microgram/liter) of fenitrothion depressed the growth of an algae, though all of the chronic dose levels used were toxic in other ways to the algae.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allethrins

    Allethrin I (R = −CH 3) Allethrin II (R = −COOCH 3) The allethrins are a group of related synthetic compounds used in insecticides. They are classified as pyrethroids, i.e. synthetic versions of pyrethrin, a chemical with insecticidal properties found naturally in Chrysanthemum flowers. They were first synthesized in the United States by ...

  9. Azinphos-methyl - Wikipedia

    The next step is to form 1,2,3-Benzotriazin-4(3H)-one-14C (compound 4). In water dissolved sodium nitrite is added to anthranilamide and hydrochloric acid in ice water. Because this is a diazotization reaction, the product is pale-yellow again. After this the pH is adjusted to 8,5. This causes the ring closure to form 1,2,3-Benzotriazin-4(3H ...
