A relatively simple way for synthesizing juvenile hornione and similar compounds has
been developed (15); however, only very pure compounds, ones which 3o not contain
_ isomeric impurities, have high activity, and their purification preaents significant
difficulties.
' It has been established that the hormonal activity of substances such as juvenile
hormone may be amplified by the addition of synthetic synergists (17).
The properties of juvenile hormone are possessed by some derivatives of farnesilic ,

The pesticidal activity of acids qrows dramatically when hydrogen atoms in the
alkyl radical are substituted by halogens. Thus compounds as simple as acetic
monohalide possess significant pesticidal activity, and some of them are used in
agriculture and public health. ~
~he pesticide activity of carboxylates is higher as rule than the activity of free
acids and their salts. Amides of various aliphatic acids and their halide deriva-
tives are the mo~t active. Amides exhibit moderate insecticidal and acaricidal
activity, but they are rather strong fungicides and herbicides. More than 20 ali-
phatic acid amide~~have achieved practical use in the control of plant weeds and
for other purposes. Acid nitriles and thio derivatives as well as derivatives of
dibasic aliphatic acids also possess pesticidal properties.
The toxicity of fluoroaZkylcarboxylic acids to homeothermic animals depends on the
number of CH2 groups separating fluorine from the carbon atom of the carboxyl group.
~'he toxicity of some fluoroalkylcarboxylates (in propylene glycol) to animals is

Compounds with an odd number of CH2 groups are more toxic. This is explained by
the fact that compounds with an even number of CH2 groups are oxidized to form
fluoroformic acid, and subsequently carbonic acid, while acids with an uneven number
of CH2 groups prvduce extremely toxic fluoroacetic acid:
FCHz-CHz-CHi-COOH

The toxicity of fluoroacetic acid is associated with a number of inetabolic processes,
the most important one of which is formation of fluorocitric acid (21).
Salts and some amides of fluoroacetic acid are used as extremely toxic zoocides.
Fluoroacetic acid amides may be used as systemic insecticides to control sucking
plant pests (22-32) and as herbicides (33).
iluoroacetic acid is obtained by reacting monochloroacetates with potassi~n fluoride

_ Sodium and barium fluoroacetates-=white crystalline substances that are freely
soluble in water--have enjoyed practical use in rodent control. These salts are
used as aqueous solutions or, in dietary bait. Their LDSp is 0.22-4 mg/kg. Due to
the very high toxicity of thes~ preparations, only specially trained people are
allcwe3 to work with them.
The amide and anilide of fluoroacetic acid (melting points 108�C and 75-76�C
respectively) have also been proposed as zoocides. They are less toxic to verte-
brates and safer to use. The toxicity of fluoroacetamide to homeothermic animals
(LDSp) is 4-5 mg/kg, wnile the toxicity of fluoroacetanilide is 10-12 mg/kg.
N-Methyl-N-'(naphthyl-1)-fluoroacetamide(NQ1FA), obtained by any of the methods de-
scribed above (32), has enjoyed some use as a systemic insecticide. It is a white
crystalline substance with a melting point of 87-88�C. It is poorly soluble in
water and freely soluble in organic solvents. It may be used to control plant
pests as a wettable powder or an emulsion concentrate. Its LDSp is 25 mg/kg in rats
and 158 mg/kg in mice.
: A vezy large number of various fluoroacetanilides and fluoroacetamides have been
studied (22-32,36,38), but they have not as yet enjoyed practical application.
Fluornacetates and halide phenolates have insecticidal properties (39), while poly-
fluoropropionic acid analides possess fungicidal and herbicidal properties (40).

It is extremely stable when stored, and it is highly resistant to various external
factors.
It is used for ~eed control in the form of an aqueous solution containing 900 gm/1it~r
active ingredient, in the form of granules with 6 percent active ingredient (Orga-3045
and Orqa-3045-granulyat) and in the form of a granulated preparation combined with
diuron (6 and 3�~percent), simazine (6 and 2 percent) and amitrole 44. The prepara-
tion's consumption norm is 3-6 kg/ha (active ingredient).
The most convenient way to obtain 2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropionic acid is to react per-
fluoroethylene with sodium cyanide in the presence of water in acetonitrile or di-
methylformamide, followed by hydrolysis of the formed nitrile by sulfuric acid

The first reaction proceeds at low pressure and a temperature up to 80�C, while the

olefins (34) .
The pesticidal properties of chloroalkane carboxylic acids have been studied to the
greatest detail in recent years. Derivatives of chloroalkane carboxylic acids have
achieved the greatest significance as herbicides. In particular, herbididal proper-
ties are possessed by mono- di- and trichloroacetic acids, di-, tri-, tetra- and
tetrachloropropionic acids, mono-, di- and trichlorobutyric and isobutyric a~ids
and many others. The biological activity of halogenated acids is significantly
influenced by the position of the halogen in relation to the carbonyl qroup.
a-Haloqenated acids possess the greatest activity. Bromo- and iodo- acids have been
studied less, but active funqicides and herbicides have been found amonq them (47,48).
Monochloroacetic acid: This acid has a melting point of 63�C, it is freely soluble
in water and in many organic solvents, and it causes burns on plants.

The first method is used in various modifications in the industry of many countries.
Acetic acid is chlorinated at high temperature in the presence of catalysts. Recently
sulfur or phosphorus has been used most often as the catalyst, in an amount equivalent
to 3 percent of the mass of acetic acid to be chlorinated (49). Chlorination of
acetic acid produces a small quantity of dichloro- and trichloroacetic acids as by-
- products. By chlorination in harsher conditions this mixture is transformed into
tri~hloroacetic acid and is then used to produce herbicidal preparations (50). Acetic
acid may be chlorinated in the presence of acetic anhydride (0.07 percent of the
mass of monochloroacetic acid obtained) (51). A basic flowchart �or production of
monochloroacetic acid using this method is shown in Figure 8(51).

Pure monochloroacetic acid is usually isolated by crystallization from the reaction
mixture (or from the distilled reaction mixture); upon cooling, the bulk of the
monochloroacetic acid contained in this mixture precipitates out, and the mixture
of high-chlorine products and unreacted acetic acid remains in liquid form, and
is separated by centrifuqation.
~ Monochloroacetic acid is used in agriculture in the form of its soditun salt, obtained
by the acid's neutralization by soda or by sodium hydroxide at low temperature, since
at high temperature sodium monochloroacetate transforms readily into glycolic acid.
Sodium monochloroacetate is used as a herbicide and a defoliant at a consumption
norm o= 5-20 kg/ha.

Monochloroacetic acid and its sodium salt are used to produce important herbicides
such as 2,4-D, 2M=4C, 2,4,5-T and others.
Use of monochloroacetic acid esters and amides as herbicides and fungicides has also

The latter method is somewhat simpler, and it produces a good yield of trichloro-
acetic acid. Salts of this acid can be obtained by neutralizing it with the appro-
priate basis at the lowest possi.ble temperature, since higher temperature would cause

Trichloroacetic acid is used in agriculture to control monocotyledonous weeds. It
is used almost exclusively in the form of salts of alkali metals or amines.
Alkali meta.l trichloroacetates are used inainly to control monocotyledonous weeds
in sugar beets, alfalfa, sugar cane and other crops, in which case the consumption
norms of the preparation are relatively high (12-60 kg/lia). The preparations are
applied prior to sprouting or prior to planting, since crops can be injured when
the consumption norms are so high.
The preparations are practically nontoxic to homeothermic animals. The LDSp of sodium
trichloroacetate is 3,300-5,000 mg/kg.
Tne glycolic ester of trichloroacetic acid (qlita;c) has enjoyed some use as a

a,a-Dichloropropionic acid is used to control monocotyledonous weeds in the form
of a water-soluble sodium salt.
Sodium a,a-dichloropropionate (dalapon): Melting point 174-176�C (some decomposi-
tion occurs). It is produced in the form of an 87-95~percent preparation.
To obtain the sodium salt, concentrated acid is processed with 40 percent sadium
hydroxide solution in a chilled environment; the crystallized salt is filtered out
and dried, and the mother liquor is used as a solvent to obtain new portions of salt.
A sufficiently pure salt is obtained in this way with minimum losses. When the pre-
paration is neutralized in diluted solutions followed by evaporative concentration,
a significant proportion of the preparation decomposes, and a highly contaminated
product results. ~
Dalapon is capable of moving through the plant vascular system, owing to which it
is highly active against many monocotyledonous plants in relation to which other
herbicides exhibit low activity. The consumption norm is 12-40 kg/ha.
Alkali metal dichloropropionates react with water to form herbicidally inactive
pyruvic acid; therefore storage of their aqueous solutions for a long period of
time is not recommended.~
Because the simplest halogenated alkane carboxylic acids are used extensively in
agriculture, the metabolism of chloroacetic acids and of dichloropropionic acid
in soil, plants, animals and microorganisms has been studied in rather great detail
(61). Decomposition of these compounds in soil may be represented by the following

- cide at a consumption norm of 14-20 kg/ha.
In addition to dalapon, the sodium salt of a,u,,3-trichloropropionic acid is ~ised

Depending on the conditions of the process, the yield of mucochloric acid is 50-90
percent of theoretical (60). Because of the high aggressiveness of the reaction
medium, great difficulties are encountered in selecting the chlorination equipment
and in waste treatment.
Mucochloric acid is rather highly poisonous,, and when it settles on exposed skin
it causes severe irritation. Blisters recallinq those produced by thermal burns
appear. Mucochloric acid and some of its simplest derivatives have fungicidal
action, but owing to their high phytotoxicity their use in this direction is im-
possi.ble at the moment.

When applied to the skin, DETA repels blood-sucking insects for 8-10 hours, in
contrast to dimethylphthalate, which provides absolute protection from mosquito bites
to the skin for only i.5-2 hours.
Diethyl-m-toluamide is obtained by reacting m-toluyl chloride with diethylamide in
the presence of caustic alkalis or excess amine, or by reacting m-toluylic acid with
diethylamine at high temperature in the presence of catalysts:

The apparent simplicity of the second method is enticing, but conversion does not
exceed 70 percent, and in just 10-20 hours the ca.talyst loses its activity and con-

A good yield of m-toluylic acid is obtained by oxidation of m-xylol by atmospheric
oxygen at high temperature and slight pressure in the presence of catalysts, usually
cobalt salts and organic acids. This reaction also produces a certain quantity of
isophthalic acid. T1-i~ mixture is separated by fractional precipitation out of
aqueous alkali salt solutions by mineral acids, or by extraction of m-toluylic acid
by organic solvents, in which isophthalic acid is poorly soluble.
Strong repellent properties are also inherent to hexamethylene benzamide, which is

CHAPTER 13
ARYLOXYALKANE CARBOXYLIC ACIDS AND TETEIR DERIVATIVES
_ General Description of Pesticide Properties
- The aryloxyalkane carboxylic acids and their derivatives that have been studied
_ possess weak insecticidal properties, but many compounds of this group are herbi-
_ cides, fungicides and plant growth regulators. Aryloxyalkane carboxylic acids have
greatest significance as herbicides and plant growth regulators. In terms of the
- scale of their production and use, aryloxyalkane carboxylic acids have the lead
among preparations of other classes; production of this important group of herbicides
is exhibiting a tendency for growth.
The physiological activity of many aryloxyalkane carboxylic acids has been studied,
and the general dependencies between variations in.activity and structure have been
established, thouqh the mechanism of their action upon plants is not yet sufficiently
clear (1,102).
The physiological activity of phenoxyacetic acid increases when halogen atoms are
introduced into its molecuie. Fluorine and chlorine have the greatest influence,
while that of bromine and iodine is less signi.ficant; moreover the activity of the
compound is al~o affected by the position of the halogen. 4-Halophenoxyacetic acids
exhibit the highest activity. Isotneric dichlorophenoxyacetic acids fall into the
following order in relation to their physiological activity:
2,4- > 2,5- > 3,4- > 3,6- > 2,0-
The herbicidal activity of 2,5-dichloro- and 3,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acids is so
great that they have been proposed for agricultural use together with 2,4-dichloro-
phenoxyacetic acid. One favorable property of 3,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acifl is
its greater selectivity of action in comparison with the preparation 2,4-D: Zt is
less harmful to cotton, alfalfa, potatoes and suqar beets, but it is highly toxic to
sunflower and many dicotyledonous weeds.
Among isomeric trichlorophenoxyacetic acids, 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid
possesses the greatest activity; it is clase to 2,4-D in the strength of its
herbicidal action. Isomeric trichlorophenoxyacetic acids fall into the following
order in terms of their activity:
2~�1~5- > 2,3;1� > 3,~1,5� > 2~3~5� > 1~4,6. ~ I~g~g.

Among tetrachlorophenoxyacetic acids, anly 2,3,4,5-tetrachlorophenoxyacetic acid
displays noticeable physioloqical activity in relation to plants, while 2,3,4,6- and
2,3,5,6-tetrachlorophenoxyacetic acic~s are inactive. Pentachlorophenoxyacetic acid
is inactive as a plant qrowth regulator, but it is a systemic fungicide (2).
2,4,6-Trichloro- and 2,4,6-tribromophenoxyacetic acids are inactive as herbicides,
and according to some data tt,ey are even antagonists to preparation 2,4-D, but
2,4-dichloro-6-fluoro- and 2,4-dibromo-6-fluorophenoxyacetic acids are similar
to this preparation in their activity. 2,4,6-trifluorophenoxyacetic acid, many
mixed polyhalofluorophenoxyacetic acids and their derivatives exhibit relatively
high herbicidal activity.
Introduction of an aliphatic hydrocarbon radical into the benzene ring of the phenoxy-
acetic acid molecule raises the compound's activity insignificantly. In this case
the activity of 2-alkyl-, 4-alkyl, 2-halogen-4-alkyl- and 4-halogen-2-alkylphenoxy-
acetic acids decreases as the alkyl radical increases. A similar pattern is observed
when an aromatic radical is introduced into the phenoxyacetic acid molecule. When
the benzene ring of alkyl- and arylphenoxyacetic acids is halogenated, their activity
rises.
4-Haloqen-2-alkylphenoxyacetic acids are somewhat more active than 2-halogen-4-alkyl-
phenoxyacetic acids. Isomeric halomethylphenoxyacetic acids differ especially strongly
in their activity. When a second haloqen atom is introduced into the alkylphenoxy-
acetic acid molecule, the compound's activity declines in most cases. The same is
observed with the addition of a third halogen atom. An exception is 2,4-dichloro-
-5-methylphenoxyacetic acid, which exhibits rather strong herbicidal action. This
acid is a structural analogue of 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid.
Introduction of a fluoromethyl group into the phenoxyacetic acid molecule does not
affect its activity as a plant growth stimulator, but it sharply reduces the com-
pound's herbicidal ~ctivity. Thus for example, 4-chloro-2-chloromethylphenoxyacetic
acid is of no practical interest as a herbicide, while 4-chloro-2-methylphenoxy-
- acstic acid (preparation ~M-4C) is broadly employed in agriculture to control di-
cotyledonous weeds (3,4).
Chloromethylphenoxyalkane carboxylic acids exhibit the properties of systemic
fungicides (5,6). A similar pattern is observed when a thiocyanomethyl group is
introduced (7), but such derivatives are somewhat more pY!ytotoxic.
- Acetylphenoxyacetic aci~s are inactive, apparently due to presence of a carbonyl
group in their molecule and the consequent possibility of forming additional hydrogen
bonds. The activity of phenylenediacetic acids and carboxyphenoxyacetic acids is
probably low for the same reason.
Among aryloxyacetic acids containing an alkoxy group in their aromatic ring, compounds
- with the alkoxy qroup in position 3 are most active, while 2-isomers are the least
~ictive. By increasing the number of carbon atoms in the alkoxy residue, we can raise
activity, but only to a certain limit (C3), after which it falls abruptly. This is
possi.bly connected with the substance's lower rate of diffusion in plant cells.
Halogenated alkoxyphenoxyacetic acids are less active than acids not containing
halogen. Thus 2-chloro-4-methoxyphenoxyacetic acid is close in its ability to
stimulate root formation in bean plant cuttings to that of y-(indolyl-3)-butyric acid.

_ 4,5-Dichloro-2-methoxyphenoxyacetic acid and its derivatives exhibit noticeable
fungicidal activit.y (8).
A mixture of aryloxyacetic acids obtained from phenols with a boiling point of
180-200�C, obtained from dry wood distillation, has been proposed for weed control,.
This mixture contains up to 40 percent chloroguaiacoloacetic acids (a mixture of
iso~rs) and about 25 percent 2,4-dichloro- and 4-chloro-2-methylphenoxyacetic acids.
Nitro-, amino-, acylamino-, alkylamino- and sulfo- derivafives of phenoxyacetic
acids have low physiological activity. Even 2-nitro-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid and
- its analogues exhibit low activity. However, sulfamidophenoxyacetic acids exhibit
fungicidal properties (9,10).
Introduction of halogen into the methylene group of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid
reduces the compounds's physiological ac.*.ivity. Thus 2,4-dichlorophenoxyfluoroacetic
_ acid is less active than 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, in which case the (+)-form
of 2,4-dichlorophenoxychloroacetic acid is a stronger growth stimulator in relation to
pea epicotyl cuttings than the (-)-form and the racemic mixture, and it is more
active as a herbicide. The activity of 2,4-dichlorophenoxydifluoroacetic acid is
lower than that of monofluoro- derivatives.
_ Substitution of hydrogen in the methylene group by a hydrocarbon radical decreases
the compound's activity as a rule; in this case the more carbon atoms there are in
the hydrocarbon radical, the more activity declines. The (+)-forms of stereoisomeric
compounds are more active than racemates, while the (-)-forms exhibit low activity,
or they are antagonists to plant gr.owth stimulators.
Axyloxyacefiylchlorides and aryloxyacetic acid anhydrides do not differ from the acid
forms in their activity, since upon hydrolysis they transform into the corresponding
acids.
Hydroxamic acids are herbicides and rather strong fungicides (11,I2). Esters formed
from hydroxamic acids have strong herbicidal action (12-16). The activity of amides,
anilides and other similar derivatives is similar in most cases to the activity of
_ the correspondinq acids.
A ve ry large number of N-substituted amides of aryloxyalkane carboxylic acids (17-33)of
both the aliphatic (19,21,24-26,29,31-34) and aromatic (20,22,23,25,30,35,36) series
containing the most diverse substituents in the hydrocarbon ring at the nitrogen
atom--thiocyanate (19), amino (21), alkylthio (24,28), carbonyl (22,32), trifluoro-
methyl (20,23,30), thiophosphoryl (33) and other groups--have now been synthesized
- and studied.
Aryloxyacetylamino acids exhibit high activity that depends not only on the structure
of the aryloxyacetic acid but also on the confiquration of the initial amino acid.
This may be connected with the capability of various plant enzymes for breaking
aryloxyacetylamino acids down into the corresponding aryloxyacetic acids.
Aryloxyacetylates are stronger herbicides than the free acids and their salts.
This is usually explained by the higher rate of their penetration through the leaf
cuticle. However, this cannot satisfactorily explain the fact that a significantly

lower dose of the ester is required to achieve the same effect as the salt (a two-
to three-fold difference) (37). The herbicidal activity of the esters of high
molecular weight alcohols is.lower than that of esters of low molecular weight
alcohols, which is connected in all probability with their lower solubility in
lipoids and waxes and their lower rate of diffusion in plants.
The activity of the salts of aryloxyacetic acids formed from various organic bases
is 1.2-1.7 times greater than the activity of the salts of these acids made with
alkali metals. It may be possible that the herbicidal action of amine salts in-
creases owing to change in the surface tension of their aqueous solutions. Other
factors responsible for the higher activity of these salts have not yet been
established.
In certain cases aryloxyacetic acids dissolved in organic solvents exhibit higher
herbicidal activity than do their salts and even their esters.
When hydroxyl oxygen in the carboxyl group of aryloxyacetic acids is substituted by
sulfur, significant changes do nok~ occur in the compound's physiological activity,
whxle substitution of the ester oxygen by sulfur or by other diatomic groups re-
duces the compound's activity.
- A large number of aryloxyalkanethiocarboxylates have been synthesized. Some of them
may be of interest as herbicides and dessicants (38-41). Esters made with substituted
benzyl alc~hoZs (42), with heterocyclic oxygen-containing (43,46), phosphorus-con-
taining (44) and nitrogen-containing compounds (45,46) and with dithiophosphoric
.acid derivatives (47) also exhibit herbicidal properties. Arylthio- and arylsulfonyl-
alkane carboxylic acids and their derivatives exhibit fungicidal and bactericidal
action (48).
Naphtnoxyacetic acids are significantly inferior to phenoxyacetic acids in their
activity. Of the naphthaxyacetic acids, S-naphthoxyacetic acid is the most active.
Introduction of halogens and other substituents into the naphthaline ring reduces
the compound's activity. However, the esters and amides of these acids as well as
the appropriate derivatives of ~c- and R- pilenoxypropionic acids (34,35,49,50) are of
certain practical interest because they are effective against a number of weeds
resistant to other preparations made from this group of compounds.
Fluorenyloxy- and acenaphthenyloxyacetic acids and analogous derivatives of other
polycyclic hydrocarbons are weak herbicides, 3nd they offer no practical interest.
Aryloxyalkane carboxylic acids [Ar0(CH2)nC00Fi] with an odd number of.methylene groups
has herbicidal activi.ty in relation to many dicotyledono~xs plants, while acids con-
taining an even number of inethylene groups do not display herbicidal action. The
explanation for this is that most plants (except the lequnes) subject aryloxyalkane
carboxylic acids to S-oxidation, as a result of which tne former group of compounds
is transformed into the appropriate aryloxyacetic acids while the latter group is
transformed into inactive phenols:

In leguminous plants, B-oxidation of Y- (aryloxy) -butyric acids to the corresponding
aryloxyacetic acids does not occur, and therefore y-(aryloxy)-butyric acids can be
used successfully to control dicotyledonous weeds in fields of leguminous crops.
As the number of inethylene groups in acids with an odd number of inethylene groups in-
creases, their herbicidal activity decreases.
Nitriles of aryloxyalkane carboxylic acir~s display the same form of activity that
acids do (51,52). Thus the nitriles of fluoro- and fluorochlorophenoxyalkane
carboxylic acids are strong herbicides (51), and the nitrile of pentachlorophenoxy-
acetic acid (melting point 158-160�C) is a strong furiqicide (52).
Aryloxyacetic Acids
Aryloxyacetic acids and their various derivatives are used as herbicides to control
dicotyledonous weeds in cereal grain plantations and brush and tree seedlinqs on
meadows, to destroy :uidesirable trees when cleaning terrain for construction of hydro-
electric power plants and so on.
Compounds in widespread use include 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), 4-chloro-
-2-methylphenoxyacetic acid (2M-4C), 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T) and
their derivatives. 3,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, ?.,4-dichloro-5-methylphenoxy-
acetic acid, 4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid and other compounds are presently undergoing
industrial experimentation. 2-Naphthoxyacetic acid is a plant growth requlator. It
is used in some countries in small amounts to obtain seedless tomatoes.
All aryloxyacetic acids are weak acids. Their dissociation constants are within
5.2�10'~*-25�10-4. .
- Aryloxyacetic acids are similar in chemical properties to other carboxylic acids.
They typically form acid chlorides and anhydrides, amides, esters and many other
derivatives.

This reaction is often used for industrial synthesis of 2,4-D, 2M-4C and 4-fluoro- ~
phenoxyacetic acid. Chlorination and bromination proceed the most easily, while
iodination is significantly more difficult. Some aryloxyacetic acids are not
iodinated by free iodine.
Hydrolysis of the simple ester bond proceeds relatively easily when aryloxyacetic
acids are heated together with acid halides. The reaction proceeds quickly with
hydrogen iodide and significantly more slawly with hydrogen chloride. The more
acid tr.e phenol obtained upon hydrolysis, the faster this reaction proceeds.
Esters are obtained in~good amounts when aryloxyacetic acids interact with alcohols
in the presence of catalytic quantities of sulfuric acid or other similar compounds.
The reaction between aryloxyacetic acid salts and dimethylsulfate (53) or between
the acids themselves and tetramethylamnwnium hydroxide (55) is used to synthesize
methyl ethers of these acids, which are use~: in chromatographic analysis.
Several general methods of obtaining aryloxyacetic acids are known.
1. Oxidation of aryloxyethanols by various oxidants or oxygen in the presence of
catalysts:

This reaction produces a very small yield of aryloxyacetic acid. When oxidation
occurs in the presence of platinum catalysts, the yield is higher but the productivity
of the catalyst is low.
2. Oxidation of unsaturated phenol esters, for example arylallyl esters, 1-aryloXy-
-2-chlorobutene-2 and others:
Ar0-CFlz-CN=CH? - +SO Ar0-CH,-COOH

3. Synthesis of aryloxyacetic acids by way of arylchloromethyl ethers, obtained
by chlorination of the corresponding anisoles in the presence of phosphorus penta-

This is the way 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid is syr~thesized from anisoles with a

4. One of the most widespread methods of obtaininq aryloxyacetic acids is to react
alkali metal phenolates with the salts of monochloroacetic acid:

drolysis o~ sodium monochloroacetate, and so on. When carried out without pressure,
the optimum temperature for the process is 105-107�C.

2,4-D is moderately toxic to mammals. When introduced orally into experimental
animals, the LDSp is 375-1,000 mg/kg; the maximum safe dose in monkeys is 214 mg/kg.
; It is presumed that the lethal dose of 2,4-D in� man is about 15 gm, The norm set in
the USA for 2,4-D traces in foodstuffs is 5 mg/kg.
A large number of inethods of obtaining 2,4-D are known, but only two have practical
significance to industrial production. .
1. Condensation of the salts of monochloroacetic acid with 2,4-dichlorophenolates

To decrease hydrolysis of monochloroacetic acid, the reaction may be performed with
excess 2;4-dichlorophenolate, which is removed after oxidation of th~ reaction
medium by distillation with live steam. The yield from 2 moles of sodium 2,4-di-
_ chlorophenolate and 1 mole of sodium monochloroacetate attains 94 percent of theoret-
ical, while without excess phenolate the yield under similar conditions does not
exceed 83 percent.. 2,4-Dichlorophenol distilled away with steam may be later re-
turned to the process. Adding sodium chloride has been sugyested as a way to suppress
hydrolysis in the reacticn mixture.
- It should be noted that the purest possible 2,4-dichlorophenol would best be used to
- produce 2,4-D; this would mean lower waste of expensive monochloroacetate in the
formation of byproducts.
Additionally, the 2,4-D obtained from pure 2,4-dichlorophenol is higher in quality.
The technical-grade preparation almo~t always contains a small quantity of 2,4-di-
chloropr~enol, and owing to this it has an unpleasant odor.
2,4-Dichlorophenol is obtained by direct chlorination of phenol by chlorine, followed
by purification of the chlorination products by rectification. Perfozming chlorina-
tion at a temperature somewhat .tibove the melting point of phenol is usually recommended.
Chlorination at higher temperatures produces a large quantity of 2,6-dichlorophenol
as a byproduct. Very pure (98 percen~) 2,4-dichlorophenol may be obtained by chlori-
nation of phenol in liquid sulfur anhydride at a temperatu_e not exceeding the boiling
point of sulfur anhydride, which hinders formation of the 2,6-isomer and practically
- excludes the possibility of obtaining 2,4,6-trichlorophenol. Sufficiently pure
2,4-dichlorophenol is also obtained when phenol is chlorinated in nitromethane (the
phenol concentration should be about 25 percent, the temperature is 40�C) (61-63).
2,4-Dichlorophenol may be purified by extraction of the 2,6-isomer with alkali (60),
since the latter's acidity is higher.

2,4-Dichlorophenol may also be obtained by alkaline hydrolysis of a mixture of iso-
meric forms of trichlorobenzene (from nontoxic isomers of hexachlorocyclohexane),
but the resulting product is a mixture of isomeric dichlorophenols, in which the
concentration of the needed isomer does not exceed 25 percent.
2,4- and 2,5-isomers of dichlorophenol may be separated by sulfation with sulfuric
acid at 50-100�C: The 2,5-isomer is separated in the form of sulfonic acid, since
it is sulfated more easily than the 2,4-isomer (64). Separation may also be
. achieved by precipitation of the binary compound of 2,5-dichlorophenol and urea
out of their solutions in organic solvents (65).

The metabolism of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid in various environmental objects
has been studied (68-80). It has been established that the first stage of inetabolism
in plants is hydroxylation (71,79,80), which proceeds to fonn 2,3- and 2,5-dichloro-
- -4-oxyphenoxyacetic acids. Under the influence of soil microorganisms, not only does
the ring undergo hydroxylation, but also the ester bond breaks down and the aromatic
system is destroyed (70,71,74). It should be noted that when 2,4-D is applied re-
peatedly to soil, its decomposition accelerates. Decomposition of 2,4-dichloro-
phenoxyacetic acid may be represented in general form as follows:

Esters of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid: The effectiveness of esters derived from
2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid against various weeds is significantly higher than
the effectiveness of its salts and of its various other derivatives. Destruction of
_ an equal amount of dicotyledonous weeds by esters requires consumption norms that are
two to three times lower than the consumption nonns for the sodium salt (as corrected
for the acid). In a number of cases esters act upon weeds against which salts are
not very effective.
2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetates are enjoying increasingly broader use in agriculture.
They noea represent more than 50 percent of the tatal production of all other deriva-
tives of this acid.
Lower alkyl esters of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (ethyl, isopropyl, butyl and
so on) have relatively high volatility, and their vapors may injure crops sensitive
to this acid located on plots neighboring those being processed. As molecular weight
increases, the volatility of the esters decreases. Thus the vapor pressure of iso-
octyl ester is almost 17 times lower than the vapor pressure of butyl ester. However,
high molecular weight esters such as, for example, cetyl ester, are less effective,
apparently due to their poor solubility in plant juices and thEir slow movement
through the plant vascular system.

would best be performed in water-free hydrophobic orqanic solvents, similar to that
used to make preparation 2M-4C. The acid can be extracted from organic solvents

a-(2,4-Dichlorophenoxy)-propionic acid is obtained by chlorination of phenoxypro-
pionic acid or by reacting 2,4-dichlorophenol with monochloropropionic acid. It is
used in the form of salt~ or esters of various alcohols. It is close in biological
activity to preparation 2M-4CP, differing somewhat from the latter only in its range
of action on weecis.

MERCAPTANS, SULFIDES AND THEIR DERIVATIVES
- Perchloromethylmercaptan and Its Derivatives
Owing to its high toxicity to man and animals and its stzong corrosive action, per-
chloromethylmercaptan is not used in agriculture. It is the principal raw material
for synthesis of various trichloromethylthioimides and trichloromethylthioamides
possessing fungicidal properties.
Perchloromethylmercaptan is a red oily liquid with a boiling point of 148�C at
760 mm Hg (partial decomposition occurs) and 73�C at 50 tmn Hg; d~~ 1.6947. It is
so toxic to mammals that it was proposed as a toxic agent in World War I, but for
practical purposes it was almost never used for this purpose. .
_ Metals and other reducing agents transform perchloromethylmercaptan into tniophosgene:

Oxidants o:cidize it to trichloromethane s u].fochloride:

Alkali hydrolize perchloror~thylmercaptan to form salt mixtures, slowly when cold
_ and quickly when heated.
Perchloromethylmercaptan reacts relatively easily with unsaturated compounds to pro-
duce trichloromethylchloroalkyl sulfides: '

As,a rule these sulfides are strong fungicides, and they kill many species of phyto-
_ pathogenic microorganisms, but the majority of them are also dangerous to agricul-
- tural p~ants, since they cause severe burns on leaves.
Perchlorometnylmercaptan may be used as a donor of a trichloromethylmercaptan group
to the molecules of organic compounds, for example:

The byproduct of this reaction is sulfur chloride, the separation of which presents
certain difficulties: The simplest laboratory method of purifying perchloromethyl-
mercaptan is to distill it with live steam. In this case sulfur chloride is broken
down cornpletely by water, but the perch~.~,romethylmercaptan yield decreases to 10-15
percent owing to its hydrolysis by water. However, this method of purifying per-
chloromethylmercaptan is difficult in industrial condit~ons owing to the high
corrosiveness of the medium. The second (industrial) method of removing sulfur
chloride from perchloromethylmercaptan is to rECtify it in a vacuum, but in this
case ~l:e purified preparation contains up to 3 percent sulfur chloride, and repeat
_ rectification means significant losses of the product.
, Puri�ying perchloromethylmerca~.Lan by p~ocessing it with sulfuric acid at a tempera-
ture not higher than 10�C has been proposed. In this case the sulfur chloride trans-
forms into water-soluble tetrathionic acid:
StCI, 2h1,S0~ N~S,Os 2HC1
the calcium salt of which is used to control true powdery mildews.
The shortcoming of this purification method is the possibility of side reactions
- when the temperature is higher and when the time of contact o` perchloromethylmer- ,
~antan wi_th aqueous sulfuric acid solution is longer. At temperatures above 35�C
perchloromethylmercaptan is reduced by sulfuric: acid to thiophosgene (melting point
78�C), which is highly voltdile and more toxic thar, perchloromethylmercaptan:

A very large r.umber of derivatives of trihalomethylsulfenic acid have now been

fonic acids are the main ones to have achi~eved practical application, though there

N-Trichloromethylmercapto-1,2,3,6-tetrahydrophthalimide (captan) is a white almdst

~ and thiophosgene, with a melting point of 164�C. It is practicaZly insoluble in
water, and it is.~oorly soluble in most organic solvents. Its LDSp in rats is
9,000 mg/kg. No abnormal deviations were noted in the course of a year and more ~
when the preparation was introduced into animal feed. It may cause slight irrxta-

Captan is produced in the form of 50 percent wettable powder and 75 percent prepara-
, tic~c~ as a seed disinfectant; it is used for plant protection at a.concentration of
0.3-4.5 percent.
Captan is used as a broad-profile protective fungicide to control varir~us diseases
of agricultural plants, including as a disinfectant of the seeds of a number of
- crops. When qrapes are processed with captan, the latter r.as an unfavorable effect
- on alcohol fermentation during wine production, since it inhibits development of

Hydrolysis liberates a large quantity of hydrogen chloride and therefore, as is

latter break down very quickly.
It is produced in the form of 50 percent wettable powder, and the concentration of
the active ingredients of the applied product is 0.2-0.3 percent.
Ftalan is obtained similarly as with captan, by reacting~perchloromethyl.mercaptan
with phthalimide in the presence of sodium hydroxide in an aqueous medium. When
sufficiently pure perchloromethylmercaptan is used, the ftalan yield is about
90 percent of theoretical. The main impurity in the technical-grade product is the
initial phthalimide that did not react or ~hat fc:_zned as a result of hydrolysis; a
slight quantity of sulfur is present as well.
Phthalimide and its analogues are foxmed with a practical quantitative yield when
pnthalic anhydride is heated in the presence of urea tv 130-140�C (35).

The fungicidal activity of compounds containing a trichloromethylmercapto group is ~
connected, in the opinion of many researchers, with the hig:~ reactivity of this
group. Interacting with different sulfhydryl groups in the fungal cell, it disturbs
vitally important biochen~;:al processes in microorganisms.

q ~ CHAPTER 25
ORGANIC PHOSPHORUS CONiPOUNDS
General Description of Pesticide Properties
One of the most important classes of modern pesticides is the orgat~ic compounds of
phosphorus, more than 100 of which are used in aqriculture. Among the organic phos-
phorus compounds, substances have been found with different pesticidal properties,
to include insec~icides, acaricides, nematocides, herbicides, defoliants and fungicides.
Organic phosphorus compounds are used especially broadly to control plant pests and
the ecto- and, in part, endoparasites of domesticated animals.
The scale of application of organic phosphorus compounds as pesticides is close to
- the scale of use of organic chlorine compounds in agriculture.
World production of the most important p~eparations in this class, intended for con-
tro~. of weeds and plant pests and diseases, has now exceeded 150,000 tons per year,
and the number of preparations now in use is nearing 150. Such swift growth in the
production and application of orqanophosphorus pesticides is connected with a number
of their positive properties, the most important ones of which are:
1. High insecticidal and acaricidal activity and broad spectrum of action
against plant pests. -
2. The possibility of having compounds with the most diverse persistence,
the decomposition of which in :iifferent living orqanisms proceeds with
' formation of compounds that are practically nontoxic to.man and animals.
3. Relatively fast metabolism in the vertebrate body and absence~of a
capability for deposition in the body, as well as relatively low product
~ toxicity or its complete absence.
- 4. Systemic or deep action of a number of preparations.
5. Low consumption of preparations per unit of worked surface and fast
action against plant pests and animal parasites.
~ 6. Fast decomposition in soil and moderate toxicity to fish.
One negative property of many organophosphorus compounds is their relatively acute
toxicity to vertebrates, which requires compliance with the appropriate precautionary
m:asure~s when using them. A large number of organophosphorus compounds that are
mod~rately ct mildly toxic to mamcnals have also been synthesized in recent years.
Such compounds are fully safe to use in agriculture.

Research on the mechanism of action of organophosphorus compounds up~n mammals and
insects showed that in the animal body, they phosphorylate vitally important esterases,
~ inhibiting their normal functions. It is believed that the action of these compounds
'is based mainly on inhibition of cholinesterase, the physiological f~nctions of which
8�re very important in the animal body. Cholinesterase hydrolyzes acetylcholine:

At first, esterase apparently forms a complex with the organophosphorus compound.
This complex then breaks down to produce an esterase phosphorylation product and
the corresponding oxy compound. Phosphorylated ~sterase may be gradually hydrolyzed
by water, which reStores its esterase activity. The rate of deph~sphorylation is .
so low for some substances that it does not have practical significance. Thus for
example, dephosphorylation of cholinesterase inhibited by tetraethylpyrophospYiate
p~oceeds very slowly in water, and in 28 days only ~0 percent of the initial activity
is restored:

The activity of organophosphorus compounds depends strongly on the structure of the
ester groups in the molecule of the phosphoric acid ester; nor is the structure
_ of each of the radicals im material. Thus for example, 0,0-diisopropyl-O-4-nitro-
phenylthiophosphate is almost 100 times less active against bee cholinesterase than
0,0-diethyl-0-4-nitrophenylthiophosphate.
Foz maximum effect, the organophosphorus molecule must have a"lock and key" fit with
the active centers of the esterase (5).
It is entirely obvious that the activity of the same compound would differ in rela-
tion to cholinesterase from different species of animals and insects. Thi~ is
_ connected with the difference in the structure of choli.nesterase from different
organisms (1,�~) and with differences in the metabolic pathways of organophosphorus
compounds in the insect and animal body (2). Thus for example, carbofos undergoes

while pyrophosphoric acid octamethyltetramide transforms in the animal body into a
product that is more toxic than the initial compound.
- To correctly understand the reasons why specific organophosphorus compounds are toxic
to particular species of animals, we need to know not only the general mechanism of
their a:tion but also their metabolism within the given animal species.
- Very often the activity of a compound in relation to ch~linesterase is associated
with the organophosphorus compound's rate of hydrolysis, which is not always valid:
Activity also depends on the steric features of molecular structure.
- In addition to hydrolysis a.zd the structural features of organophosphorus molecules,
the rate of dealkylation of phosphoric acid esters also has a great influence on their
toxicity (6). Phosphate deallcylation is apparently the principal reaction in the
_ animal body competinq with phosphorylation of cholinesterase. That methylphosphates
are less toxic to mam~nals than homologous esters can be explained by dealkylation of
phosphoric esters. In this case esters are decomposed by dealkylation before they
- reach their place of action, as was first asserted by the author back in 1~61. This
point of view has now achieved substantial confirmation (7).
Various phosphorus compounds are used as pesticides, to include derivatives of
phosphorous and thiophosphorous acids, thio- and dithiophosphoric acids, and phos-
phonic and thiophosphonic acids.
In contrast to the situation w~ith most other classes of compounds, the nomenclature
of organophosphorus compounds has not been adequately worked out yet, and different
countries use their own naming systems. In most cases orqanophosphorus compounds
are interpreted as derivatives ~f the appropriate acids and hydrogen phosphide--
phosphine.
- Derivatives of phospharous acid have "ite" endings while derivatives of phosphoric
acid have "ate" endings. For example the diethyl ester of phosphorous acid (I) is
called diethylphosphite, while the diethyl ester of phosphoric acid (II) is called
diethylphosphate:

~ Research on the pesticidal properties of a large ntur~er of phosphorous acid deriva-
~ives established that many compounds in this series have weak insecticidal and
acaricidal activity, but some derivatives of phosphorous an,d thiophosphorous acids
have high herbicidal activity.
~he herbicidal activity of esters cf phosphorous acid increases as the number of
carbon atoms in the aliphatic ester radicals grows. Complete esters formed from
phosphorous aaid and haloaryloxyetrianols display the greatest activity; one such
compound used in agriculture is falone.
Tributyltrithiophosphi~e has enjoyed rather broad use under the names merfos and
foleks as a defoliant of cotton and some other crops (9). The compound is also activ~
~ when combined with the most diverse compounds including tertiary amines.(10): Other
" active defoliants are dibutyldithiochlorophosphite (11) and triarylphosphites (12).
; G~iclic pyrocatechol chlorophosphites (13) and diallylphosphite (14) exhibit.fungi-

3. Dialkylphosphites can also be obtained by oxidation of white phosphorus in the
appropriate alcchol (17). The yield of diethylphosphite in this case is about
43 percent.
- Of these methods, the first has the greatest practical significance. I: is used
extensively in industry. The reaction is usually ~,erformed in an inert organic
solvent at low temperature (16). A convenient solvent fo~ acquisition of ~i.methyl-
chlorophosphite would be mett~ylchloride, which acts here as a coolant as well,
_ since the reactian is usually performed at its boiling point (-24�C). This method
can also be used to obtain dialk.yphosphites with mixed radicals (19) and alkylaryl-
- phosphites (20,21,j, using a mixture of two alcohols and methanol in a reaction with

Byproducts appearing in small quanti.~~as in the reaction between phosphorus tri--
chloride and alcohols include monoalkylphosphite and phosphorous acid, forme~ as a
result of the reaction between dialkyphosphite and hydrogen chloride.
Dialkyphosphites car_~be produced from PC13 and alcohols by both cyclic and continuous
processes (18).
Lower dialkylphosphites may be purified by distillation in a vacuum using a contin-
uous-action film evaporator at a res:.dual pressure of 1-5 a�n Hg.
Trialkyphosphites may be industrially obtained by reacting phosphorus trichloride
and alcohols in tt~e presence of hydrogen c~hloride acceptors (22-24) (a~nonium,
ammoniate (23) and tertiary amines (24)) and by an ester interchar+ge reaction per-
formed with triarylphosphites and alcohols (25). The latter reaction proceeds in
_ the presence of alkaline catalysts at high temperature.
Figure 16 shows the basic flowchart for production of trimethylphosphite out of
methanol and triphenylphosphite (25).
The purity of trimethylphosphite obtained by this method is 98 percent, and its
yield is 80-85 percent. This yield is achieved after several recyclings of triphenyl-
phosphite.
Another interesting method of obtaining trialkyphosphites is to react alcohols with
triaminophosphines:
3ROH (R;N~~P (RO),P 3R~NF1
The o~dest method is to react phosphorus trichloride with sadium or magnesium alco~
holates, but the tr,ialkylphosphite yields do not exceed 61 percent of theoretical.

be obtained from mercaptans and trialkyphosphites in the prese~nce of ~inc or cadmium

The action of falone in soil is apparently based on its transformation into 2,4-D.
Falone is recommended against weeds in corn, potatoes, strawberries and some other
crops at consumption norms from 4 to 8 kg/ha. Aqueous emulsions of the preparation
are usually used to process soil.
Falone is obtained by reacting phosphorus trichlor:.de with 2,4-dichlorophenoxyethanol

Tributyltrithiophosphite (merfos, foleksj is a light oily liquid with a boiling point
of 150-152�C at. 2 mm Hq, It is almost insoluble in water, and it is freely soluble
in organic solvents.
Its LDSp in rats is 350 mg/kg.
The preparation is used to defoliate cotton in the form of aqueous emulsions at con-
sumption norms of 1-2 kg/ha. In texms o~ the speed of its action and the resulting
effect, merfos is one of the best defoliants.
Merfos is slowly oxidized by atmospheric oxygen to tributyltrithiophosphate; this
reaction goes faster in the presence of heat, and it may be used as an intermediate
step in acquisition of tributyltrithiophosphate and in production of S,S,S-tributyl-
trithiophosphate in industry. Tributyltrithiophosphate enjoys extensive use as a
defoliant of cotton and other crops. It is marketed as butifos and DEF. It is an
oily liquid with an unoleasant odor; its boiling point is 150�C at 0.3 mm Hg; its
LDSp in experimental animals is 170-250 mg/kg.
Impurities contained in the technical-grade preparation include a small quantity
(up to 10 percent) of tributyltrithiophosphite and dibutyldisulfide. It is used as
oil solutions or emulsio:~ concentrates at consumption norms of 1-1.5 kg/ha.
Some homologues of inerf~s and butifos have been proposed as defoliants, but they have
not as yet enjoyed practical application.
Because merfos and butifos are readily oxidized by various oxidants, they may be
neutralized by oxidizing and chlorinating them with calcium and alkali metal hypo-
chlorites. However, it should ae kept in mind that in a number of cases hjpochlorites
react with these cle~foliants very violently, with ignition occurring.

Phosphoric Acid~Derivatives
As we proceed from phosphites to phosphates, the insecticidal and acaricidal activity
of the compound rises. Mixed esters of phosphoric acid, where one of the ester
. radicals is acidic, are especially active. The higher the dissociation constant of
such an alcohol or phenol (or acid), the more toxic the compound is to insects and
~nimals. Thus for example, in the series 0,0-diethyl-O-4-chlorophenylphosphate,
0,0-diethyl-O-2,4-dichlorophenylphosphate and 0,0-diethyl-O-2,4,5-trichlorophenyl-
~hosphate, the last ester exhibits the greatest insecticidal activity (the dissocia-
tion consta.nts of 4-chlorophenol, 2,4-dichlorophenol and 2,4,5-trichlorophenol are
~.1�10-10, 3.1�10-8 and 4.26�10-8). Dialkylfluorophospha"tes as well as fluorophos-
phoric acid amides are highly toxic. However, when the length of alkyl radicals
~n phosphoric acid esters and amides is increased, toxicity to animals decreases.
Maximum toxicity for many mixed esters of phosphoric acid is achieved with diethyl
derivatives, but exceptions are observed as well. As a rule dimethylphosphates are
significantly less toxic, apparently due to their hiqh alkylating capacity in relation
~o various nitrogen and sulfur compounds present in biological substrates, and their
high rate of hydrolysis.
Not only the nature of the substituent in the aromatic radical but also its position
has a great influence on the toxicity of mixed phosphate to insects and ticks. Insecti-
cidal properties are increased the most when nitro- and methylmercapto groups are
introduced into the aromatic radical. In general the activity of arylphosphate with
_ substituents at position 4 is higher than that of arylphosphates with the substituents
= at positions 2 and 3.
Systematic study of the biological activity of different mixed alinhatic-aromatic phos-
= phates showed that some of them may be of practical interest as insecticides (28-30),
fungicides (31) and herbicides (33). In particular, herbicidal action is exhibited
by tris-(butyoxyethyl)-phosphate (34).
High biological activity is exhibited by some phosphates obtained from oximes of
benzaldehyde and acetophenone derivatives (35) containing different substituents in
the aromatic ring. C~clic ester XIII, obtained from phosphorus chloroxide and hexa-
chlorophene, has herbicidal action (36};

_ Among mixed esters of phosphoric aci3, various enol phosrhates have been subjected
to the deepest study in recent years; many of them have achieved e:ttensive practical
application in agriculture and in the control of synanthropic insects. Table 44.

agriculture.
_ As we can see from Table 44 vinylphosphates containing various substituents in the

The reaction proceeds at low temperature a.n the presence of tertiary amines, and the
obtained product is placed into reaction with alcohols without separation.
Vinylphosphates can also be obtained starting with dialkylphosphites and halocarbonyl
compounds in the presence of bases (50). In this case the reaction proceeds in two
" stages: In the first stage dialkylphosphite is joined to the halocarbonyl compound
to.form phosphonate, and in the second, hydrogen halide is split off to form dialkyl-
vinylphosphate:

Among the pesticides shown in Table 44, dichlorophos, phosphamidon, bidrin, gardona
and ruelene have enjoyed the widest use. Their properties will be described in
greater detail below.
O,0-Dimethyl-O-{2,2-dichlorovinyl')-phosphate (dichlorophos) is a colorless liquid
- with a boiling point of 35�C at 0.05 mm Hg, 53�C at 0.2 mm Hg and 74�C at 1 mm Hg.
Vapor pressure at 20�C is 1.2�10-2, at 30�C it is 3.0�10'~2 and at 40�C it is 7.0�10-~
mm Hg; volatility is 145 mg/m3 at 20�C, 350 mg/m3 at 30�C and 800 mg/m3 at 40�C;
d4~ 1.420, n~~ 1.4541 (see also Table 44). It is readily soluble in most organic
solvents. At 20�C, 50 percent of dichlorophos hydrolyzes in 61.5 days, while at
- 70�C 50 percent hydrolyzes in 25 mi.nutes. Hydrolysis proceeds faster in acid or
alkaline media.

Next the acid ester is hydrolyzed~to phosphoric acid. A similar reaction also pro-
ceeds in various plant and animal organisms (55).

When heated with calcium and dialkylphosphoric acid salts, dichlorophos forms binary
compounds (56) having insecticidal properties (57,59). Insecticidal compounds are
also obtained by heating dichlorophos together with calcium chloride:~

= It is best to perform the reaction in a biphasal system (water and an immiscible
orqanic solvent) in such a way that dichlorophos would be continually rAmoved as
- it is formed; in this case the dichlorophos yield may reach 80-85 percent of theo-
retical. Following distillation in a vacuum, the concentration of the target sub-
stance reaches 93-97 percent, depending on the purity of the initial chlorofos.
2. The second method is based on reacting chloral with trimethylphosphite (52):

_ When the reaction is performed in a low vacuum and a temperature of about 40�C, the
- dichlorophos yield exceeds 99 percent.
- The maximum permissible concentration of dichlorophos in air has been set at 0.2 mg/m3
(54).
When traces of moisture are present in stored dichlorophos, the latter decomposes
to release acid products that catalyze the further decomposition of the preparation.
� In order to stabilize the technical-qrade product, small quantities of epichloro-
= hydrin (2-4 percent) are added to it to bind the acid substances and improve the
storage conditions. It would be best to store the preparation in glass or metallic
enameled containers.

~ 'Symmetrical homologues of dichlorophos are significantly less toxic to insects. The
following have recently been proposed as insecticides: 0,0-dimethyl-0-(2-chloro-2-
-fluorovinyl)-phosphate (60), O-methyl-0-butyl-0-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)-phosphate (61),
0-(2'-bromoethyl)-O-alkyl-0-2,2-dichlorovinyl)-phosphate (62) and some others {63).
b,0-Dimethyl-0-[1-methyl-2-chloro-2-(N,N-diethylcarbamoyl)-vinyl]-phosphate (phos-
phamidon) is a colorless liquid freely soluble in water, alcohol and acetone, and
_ ~poorly soluble in�~saturated hydrocarbons; its boiling point is 70�C at 0.01 ~n Hg,
its vapor pressi~re at 20�C is 2.5�10'S mm Hq, and its volatility is 0.41 mg/m3 (see
'also Table 44) .
Phosphamidon is resistant to neutral and weakly acid aqueous solu~:ions, while it
undergoes hydrolysis quickly in an alkaline medium.
In plants, phosphamidon breaks down as follows (64):

_ Despite the relatively high toxicity of phosphamidon to animals, it is used as a
systemic insecticide to control sucking pests of cotton and other crops. It is
also effective against some gnawing pests (for example the Colorado beetle).
The best way to obtain phosphamidon is to react trimethylphosphite with dichloro-
acetoacetic acid diethylamide:

The closest analogue, azodrin, is obtained in similar fashion (69). Its chemical
properties are similar to those of bidrin.
A large number of analoques and homologues of bidrin and azodrin have been synthesized
(70-75), containing, in the vinyl group, not only a carbamoyl (70,73) but also carbo-
alkoxy and carboaryloxy groups (71,72,74,75). �
O,U-Dimethyl-0-[2-chloro-l-(2~,4',5~-trichlorophenyl)-vinyl]-phosphate (gardona) is
a promising insecticide against many insects. It is active against a large number
of gnawing plant pests, and its toxicity to homeothermic animals is low (76-78).
The trcros-isomer (in which the positions of the chlorine atom and the trichloro-
phenyl group are switched)~ which is a crystalline substance with a melting point of
97-98�C (see als o Table 44), is used against plant pests and animal ectoparasites.

_ The seconri reaction is usually performed in hydrophobic organic solvent, using
anhydrous methylamxne.
The 2-chloro-4-tert-butylphenyldichlorophosphate needed for the reaction is formed
_ with a yield of up to 80 percent by reacting 2-chloro-4-tez~t-butylphenol with excess
phosphorus chlorox'ide in.the presence of calciinn chloride or anhydrous magnesium
chloride:

2-Chloro-4-tert-butylphenol may be obtained at a satisfactory yield by chlorinatinq
tert-butylphenol or condensing isobutylene with o-chlorophenol in the presence of
various catalysts. The product usually marketed is 92 percent pure.
In addition to the use of phosphoric acid derivatives as insecticides and acaricides,
�se of some amides of phosphoric acid has been proposed for sexual sterilization of
insects. The deepest research has been conducted on derivatives of ethylenimine,
such as tris-(ethylenimido)-phosphate (TEPA, aphoxide), its methyl homologue (metepa,
inetafoksid),�(tris-ethylenimido)-thiophosphate (thio-TEPA), its methyl homologue

When these compounds are fed to insects, they do not produce normal progeny. These
compounds should be used to control only those species of i.nsects,which produce large
populations within a single season. ' ~
These compounds are toxic and dangerous to vertebrate animals and man, for which
reason their use is very limited for the moment, and they have essentially not gone
beyc~nd the stage of production experiments.
Thiophosphoric Acid Derivatives
Substitution of one of the oxygen atoms by sulfur in phosphoric acid derivatives
causes a significant decrease in the compound's toxicity to ma~nals without signi-
ficantly changing its insecticidal and acaricidal activity, though there are excep-
_ tions to this general rule. In this connection derivatives of thiophosphoric acid
are broadly employed in agriculture to control pl~nt pests.
As we know, thiophosphoric acid derivatives may have a thion.(I) or thiol structure
(II) :

mhiol derivatives of thiophosphoric acid are more toxic to mammals.
_ Thion derivatives regroup into thiol isomers when heated or when brouqht in contact
with certain reaqents. This reaction is known in the literature as Pishchemuka
regrouping. Dependinq on the conditions and the reagents employed, the simplest
derivatives of thiophosphoric acid (salts for example) are capable of forming either
thiol or thion isomers, due to the dual reaction capacity of thiophosphoric acid
derivatives stemminq from tautomeric transforniation~:

~iixed esteramides of thiophosphoric acid (VIII and IX~ are also used.as pesticides,
but these groups contain fewer representatives. Mixed esters of thiophosphoric
acid with general formula X have recently come into use against plant diseases.
A larqe number of compounds containing the most varied substituents in the arematic
- radical, to include one halogen atom in the ortho, metha and pa,rrt positions, two
halogen atoms in different positions and three halogen atoms, have been described
_ amonq mixed esters of thiophosphoric acid with general formula III. Amonq the
trihaloaryl-0,0-dialkylthiophosphates, those offering the qreatest interest include
2,5-dichloro-4-bromophenyl- (94), 2,4-dibromo-5-chlorophenyl- (92,93), 2,5-dichloro=
-4-iodophenyl- (95-97) and haloalkylphenyl-0,0-dialkylthiophosphates (98). Esters
t:ave also been described containing, in the aromatic radical, nitro (99-105), cyan
(106), acyl (107-111), dialkylaminomethyl (112), carbalkoxyl (113), thiocarbamido
(114), carbamoylamido (115), trifluoromethyl (116), alkylsulfide (117-123), sulfamide
(124-127) and sulfon groups (128-13Q). In addition mixed esters of thi~ophosphoric
_ acid made from bis-phenols containing a sulfide and a disulfide group have been de-
scribed (131-135). The following generalizations may be made about this series.
1. The strongest insecticides and acaricides are mixed esters of thiophosphoric
acid in which R and R~ are lower aliphatic radicals with the number of carbon atoms
~.otaling not more than four; in this case compounds containing two ethyl radicals
ar one methyl and one ethyl radical exhibit maximum activity. 0,0-dimethyl-0-ary1
esters of thiophosphoric acid are minimally toxic to mam~nals.
2. Pti.xed aliphatic-aromatic esters of thiophosphoric acid not containing functional
groups in the aromatic ra~ical exhibit low insecticidal activity.
- 3. Among substituted 0,0-dialkyl-O-aryl esters of thiophosphoric acid, esters con-
taining a nitro qrvup at position 4 in the aromatic ring have maximum insecticidal
dctivity. Esters containing a cyan, sulfide, sulfoxide or a sulfon group at position
4 exhibit rather high activity. However, most insecticidal compounds of this series
are also relatively highly toxic to mauIInals. Compounds with other substituents are
less effective. The corresponding 2- and 3-substituted compounds have weaker in-
~ecticidal action.

4. Introduction of a second substituent in the aromatic radical somewhat reduces
the compound's toxicity to mammals without significantly reducing its insecticidal
activity. In this case the position of the substituents has a great influence.
Thus~introduction of an alkyl group or a halogen atom at position 3 of an initial ~
4-nitro- or 4-methylthiophenol decreases toxicity to vertebrates and does not
reduce the insecticidal activity of the compound, while introduction of these
substituents at position 2 reduces the biological activity of the preparations
in all respects.
Compounds also exhibit satisfactory insecticidal activity wher.i they contain sub-
stituents in positions 2, 4, 5: for example 0,0-dimethyl-0-(2,4,5-trichlorophenyl)-
-thiophosphate and 0,0-dimethyl-0-(2,5-dichloro-4-bromophenyl)-thiophosphate, the
toxicity of these compounds to mammals being negligible.
5. Presence of more than three substituents in the aromatic radical reduces the
compound's insecticidal activity; sometimes the preparation's nature of action
changes as well. Thus 0,0-dialkyl-0-2,3,4,5,6-pentachlorophenyl)-thiophosphates
exhibit fungicidal activity, though not strongly enough for practical use.
- 7. As we proceed from compounds with the general formula III to compounds with
fonnula VIII, in many cases the insecticidal activity persists (136-139), but this
group's fungicidal activity is significantly higher, and some alkylamido-O-alkyl-O-
. -(2-nitroaryl)-thiophosphates have been proposed for practical use as herbicides
(140,141). Haloarylamidothiophosphates, the preparation tsitron being an example,
have herbicidal properties. ~
8. 0,0-dialkyl-S-arylthiophosphates in many cases have not only insecticidal but
also fungicidal action (142-144). However, their toxicity to horieothermic animals
is higher than that of the corresponding thionphosphates.
9. 0,0-dialkyl-0-arylcyanoxime thiophosphates (145-148) have high insecticidal
activity. The new insecticide foksim (145) is an example of such compounds. Some
compounds of this type also have fungicidal action (148).
Some phospharylated (at the N) N-methyl-0-arylcarbamates also have selective toxicity
(149) .
10. 0,0-dialkyl-S-benzylthiophosphates, both simple and containing various sub-
stituents in the aromatic radical, have high fungicidal activity (150-1~62). Similar
properties are also possessed by 0-alkylalkylamido-S-benzothiophosphates and their
homologues (152,155,156) and 0,0-dialkyl-S-arylthioalkylthiophosphates (160).
' 11. 0-Alkyl-0-aryl-N-alkylamidothiophosphates (163) have noticeable fungicidal ~
activity.
12. The pesticidal activity of diaryl-0-alkylthiophosphates and triarylthiophos-
phates is significantly lower than that of 0-0-dialkyl-0-aryl-thiophosphate, though
there are indications in the literature that triarylthiophosphates do have pesti-
cidal activity (164). Some alkyldiarylthiophosphat~s have been proposed as
zoocides (165).

13. Cyclic thiophosphates obtained from salicyl alcohol (166-170) and pyrocatechol
derivatives (171) are also active insecticides.
14. There are indications that compounds with qeneral formula XI have nematocidal
action (172 ) ~

15. It would b.e,~interesting to note that 0-alkyl-S-alkyl-0--axylthiophosphates
exhibit high insecticidal activity but are rather toxic to homeothermic animals
(173-175). ~
16. In most cases substitution of an aromatic radical by a heterocyclic radical
also produces active insecticides, examples of which would be diazinon, dursban,
tsinofox, azuntol, sayfos and others. Mixed esters and esteramides containing the
most diverse heterocyclic radicals have been studied, to include mixed esters of ~
thiophosphoric acid and derivatives of thiophene (176), pyridine (177-183),
_ � quinoli.ne (184), imidazole (185), benzimidazole (186,187), thiazole (188), pyri- .
dazinone (189-191), oxycoumarin (192-193), triazole (194-196), pyrimidine (197-207),
'benzoxazine (208,213), benzotriazine (214-216), benzofurazan (217,218), 1,3,4-thia-
~ diazole (219), benzothiadiazole (220), dithiane ~221,222), quinoxaline (223-228)
'and others (229,230). Most nitrogenous heterocycl~ic compounds have not only in-_
secticidal but also fungicidal action, though just a few substances in this class
have achieved practical use as fungicides thus far.
17. Among the homologues of the O,0-dialkyl-0-arylthiophosphates, methyl esters
lhave the least toxicity in relation to homeothertnic animals, owing to their high
alkylating capacity, as a consequence of which they break down faster in the bodies
`of homeothermic animals. This is true for practically all series of mixed es.ters
� 'of the acids of phosphorus; in this case mixed esters of dithiophosphoric acid
`have a higher alkylating capacity, and owinq to this they are even less toxic to
~homeothermic animals. Thiol isomers have a lower alkylatinq capacity, and are more
'toxic.
'Some preparations in this ciass which have achieved practical use are given in
'Table 45.
The following general dependencies between activity and structure are ohserved
for compounds with qeneral formulas V and VI:
- 1. When the total number of carbon atoms in R and R' is more than four, the com-
pound's insecticidal activity decreases.
2. When the number of inethylene groups between phosphorus and sulfur atoms is
~more than four, the compound's activity declines sharply. Maximum activity is
seen in compounds containing one or twn methylene groups.

3. Oxidation of sulfur in a carbon radical to a sulfoxide group or formation of
a sulfonium compound increases the compound's toxicity, especially in the latter
- case.
4. Introduction of different substituents into R" also sometimes produces active
_ compounds (231,232).
5. Practically all preparations with structure V and VI have systemic action,
with the contact action of thion isomers being somewhat weaker than that of thiol
isomers.
6. Substitution of sulfur by nitrogen results in compounds toxic to both insects
and ticks on one hand and mammals on the other.
7. Increasing the number of carbon atoms in Rr' to more than three reduces the
compound's insecticidal activity.
8. Compounds in which R" is represented by aromatic radicals exhibit lower insecti-
cidal activity than do compounds of the aliphatic series. , ,
9. Introduction of hydrocarbon radicals into an ethylene radical also produces
active compounds (233).
10. Substitution of sulfide sulfur by oxygen as a rule raises the compound's
phytocidal activity, especially if an aromatic residue is bound to the oxygen
- (234-236).
11. O,S-dialkylamidothiophosphates (237-242) also have high insecticidal
activity; however, these compounds are rather highly toxic to homeothermic animals.
Plhen the amide group is acylated by carboxylic acids the compound's toxicity to ~
animals decreases significantly (242). Acylated dialkylhydrazidothiophosphates also
have pesticidal activity (243).
. 12. Diamidoal;cylthiophosphates, triamidothiophosphates and mixed alkyldiamidothio-
phosphates have a broad spectrum of pesticidal activity. Fungicides (163), nemato-
cides (244), sexual sterilizers (245) and herbicides (246) have been found among
these groups of compounds.
0,0-Dialkyl-S-thiocyanatomethylthiophosphaL-es are also active pesticides (247).
_ 13. O,O-Dialkyl-S-vinylthiophosphates and O,0-dialkyl-S-vinylthiophosphates with
various substituents in the vinyl radical are also active insecticides (248-253).
14. Mixed esters of thiophosphoric acid containing a carbalkoxyl and a carbamoyl
group in one of the hydrocarbon radicals have high insecticidal activity as well
(254-255). It should be noted, however, that the toxicity of this type of compounds
is higher in most cases than that of the corresponding dithiophosphates.
~ Compounds which have come into practical use are shown in Table 46.

The first of these reactions proceeds readily when both organic and inorganic bases
~re used as hydrogen chloride acceptors. The best orqanic bases to use are tertiary
~mines, for example triethylamine or pyridine. The reaction proceeds with high
yields in the presence of caustic alkali or alkali metal carbonates. The best results
are obtained with potash, especially when the process is carried out in a solution
of aliphatic ketones (acetone, methylethyllsetone). The reaction may also be,carried
aut in the presence of catalytic quantities of tertiary amine, followed by satura-
tion of the reaction medium with s~dium or magnesitun chloride (256).
C~ood yields of mixed esters of thiophosphoric acid may be obtained by performing the
reaction in an aqueous medium in the presence of surfactants and in organic solvents.
Thfhhen the process is performed in organic solvents, the resulting preparations are
purer as a rule, but the process is more camplex because the solvent must be dis-
tilled away in a rather high vacuum, and film-type continuous-action evaporators must
b~e:used. The reason for this is that many mixed esters of thiophosphoric acid can ~e-
compose when heated at 80-140�C for a lonq period of time; moreover such decomposi.tion
may proceed spontanzously with an explosion occurring. Mixed~esters o� thiophosphoric
acid containing a nitro group in the aromatic radical decompose especially readily.
F~owever, when sufficiently pure phenols and dialkylchlorothiophosphates are used in
an aqueous medium, mixed thiophosphates can be obtained with good yields and with.
~ target substance concentration greater than 90 percent. The process would ~st
be carried out at 50-100�C, and with rather intensive mixinq to maintain a constant
_ pH in the medium. An, aqueous solution of alkali metal phenolate is placed in a
reactor containing an effective agitator, and after the solution is raised to the
required optimum temperature, dialkylchlorothiophosphate is added gradually. Be-
cause dialkylchlorothiophosphate undergoes partial hydrolysis, the mediiuri's pH
c~hanges rather quickiy; alkali is added to the reaction mixture to keep the pH con-
stant. The optimum pH varies for different phenols.
After the reaction ends, the oily layer is separated away and washed with an aqueous
alkali solution (to remove phenol that had nat entered into the reaction). After it
is dried, it is used to make the required form of the preparation.
qne of the most important conditions of storing mixed esters of thiophosphoric acid
- is absence of moisture, inas~uch as the compound may undergo hydrolysis, and when
inetallic containers are used colloids may iorm, resulting in gelatinization of the

The reaction between PSC13 and alcohols proceeds readily in response to slight
heating, and the alkyldichlorothiophosghate yield is not less than 90 percent of
theoretical. Alkyldichlorothiophosphates are allowed to react with alcohols at tem-
peratures from -5 to 0�C while stirring vigorously. Both tertiary amines and caustic
alkali can be used to bind hydrogen chloride, and when dimethylchlorothioptiosphate
is the target substance, 40 percent aqueous sodium hydroxide solution can be used.
Mixed dialkylchlorothiophosphates in which a methyl group is one of the ester radicals
form with a yield close to 90 percent.
High yields of dialkylchlorothiophosphates are also obtained by reacting alkyldi-
chlorothiophosphates with sodium or magnesium alcoholates:

The optimum temperature for a reaction with sodium alcoholate is from -10 to -15�C.
At higher temperatures the yield decreases and a significant quantity of trialkyl-
thiophosphates fonns. Synthesis of dialkylchlorothi.ophosphates from magnesium alco-
holates is relatively simple, and it proceeds at higher temperature.
A good method of obtaining dialkylchlorothiophosphates is chlorination df dialkyl-
- dithiophosphoric acids (257~ or bis-(dialkylthiophosphone)-disulfides:

sulfuryl chloride and other similar compounds. The reaction is carried out at lower
tamperatures, both with and without various organic solvents. It would be convenient
to perform the reactioz~ with chlorine, and then.remove sulfur chloride by treating
- the product with H2S. In this case sulfur chloride transforms into elemental sulfur,
which is easily separated from dialkylchlorothiophosphate by simple filtration. The
yield of dialkylchlorothiophosphate in this method is about 90 percent; the concen-
tration of the target product is more than 90 percent (269).
This is a convenient method for obtaining dialkylchlorothiophospliates with identical
~iydrocarbon radicals; if dia~kylchlorothiophosphates with different radicals are
required, it would be better to use the reaction with PSC13, described above. In
turn, PSC13 can be abtained industrially at a quantitative yield by passing PClg
vapor througY. melted sulfur to which alkali metal polysulfides are added as catalysts
(258).
A flowchart for production of PSC13 is shown in Figure 17 (258).

Aryldichlorothiophosphates are fozmed with prolonged heating (not less than 10 hours)
at 110-115�C togetner ~ith the appropriate phenol and excess PSClg, in the presence
af small quantities of potassium chloride or anhydrous magnesium chloride. After
the reaction ends, excess PSC13 is distilled away in a water bath in a vacuum, and
the aryldichlorothiophosphate is su~jected to further processing (26~)).
To obtain dialkylaryltY,iophosphates, aryldichlorothiophosphate is reacted wi.th the
alcoholates of the appro~riate~ alcohols. Alcohol can also be used in the presence
ur a hydrogen ch~oride acceptor, but in this case the yield of dialkylarylthio-

This reaction proceeds readily with most dialkylthiophosphates, with dimethylthio-
= phosphate being an exception. Methylation proceeds in reactions of the latter, and
a significant quantity of trimethylthiolphosphate is formed as a byproduct (261).
Some of the most important derivatives of thio phosphoric acid are described in
- greater detail below.
- 0,0-Dimethyl-0-(4-nitrophenyl)-thiophosphate (metaphos) is a white crystalline
_ substance; its vapor pressure at 20�C is 0.97�10-5 mm Hg; its volatility is 0.14
mg/m3; d4~ 1.358; rt~j5 1.5515. It is poorly soluble in ~araffin hydrocarbons and
readily soluble in aromatic hydrocarbons and in most organic solvents (see also
Table 45),
The ra~e of hydrolysis of inetaphos is significantly higher than that of thiophas;
At 20�C and pH 1-5, 50 percent of the preparation hydrolyzes in 175 days, while at
70�C it takes 11 hours. The rate of hydrolysis in an alkaline medium is even
greater.
Relatively speaking, metaphos is thermally unstable, and when heated to 140-160�C
it transforms almost completely into the corresponding thiol isomer; sometimes an
explosion occurs, and a porous mass containing a large quantity of carbon forms:

This reaction also proceeds when an alcohol solution of inetaphns is heated for a
long period of ti.me at 100�C. The products of thermal decompositzon of inetaphos
have also found to include trimethylsulfonium salts, obtained as a result of
~ methylation of dimethylsulfide; the latter possibly forms from 0-methyl-S-methyl-0,4-
-nitropheny~thiophosphate. Metaphos is a strong alkylating agent and is capable of
methylating sulfides, amines, phosphines, thiourea, and many other compounds, .

- In all other chemical properties metaphos is similar to thiophos.
The toxicity of inetaphos to homeotherms is siqnificantly lower (LL~Sp 25-50 mg/kg);
in comparison with thiophos it does not ~enetrate throuqh skin as easily, which makes
work with it less difficult. Z'he iaaximum pezmissible concentration of inetaphos in
air i.s 0.1 mg/m3.
Metaphos is marketed as emulsions, wettable powders and flusts.� When selecting fillers
for dusts and wettable powders, it should be ]cept in mind that even weakly alkaline
fillers are ill-suited, since metaphos (and thiophos as well) breaks~down relatively
_ quickly in these filters and loses its insecticidal properties.
~ The preparation is used aqainst a broad range of plant pests, similarly as with thio-
' phos. Because it is less toxic to.mammals, metaphos is gradually supplanting thio-
, phos. World production of inetaphos is higher than thiophos production, and it is
exhibiting a tendency toward further gr~wth. � .
; Metaphos may be synthesized by all of the methods described above for~obtaining
i , mixed aliphatic-aromatic esters of thiophosphoric acid. The most important in-
i dustrial. method of obtaining metaphos is to react dimethylchlorothiophosphate with
p-nitrophenol in the presence of hydrogen chloride acceptors or with sodium p-nitro-
phenylate; the reaction is performed in water in the presence of emulsifiers (for
example ammonium naphthenate or amines) and in organic solvents. Chlorobenzene,
! xylol or aliphatic ketones (acetone and methylethylketone) are used most often.
I .
i When the reaction is carried out in organic solvents, the solvent must subsequently
~ be distilled away, which must be done at the lowest possible temperature in continu- '
I ous-action film evaporators. Otherwise the metaphos may break down, sometimes even
~ with an explosion. .
Preparation containing up to 96-98 percent 0,0-dimethyl-0-(4-nitrophenyl)-thi.ophos-
- phate is obtained by reacting dimethylchlorothiophosphate with p-nitrophenol in the
presence of anhydrous potash in acetone, usinq sufficiently pure initial products.
For c.onvenience of handlinq and transportation, this product is diluted with 10-15
percent xylol. .
When the reaction is performed in an aqueous medium, the resulting preparation con-
tains SS-90 percent tar.get s~bstance. With different methods, the metaphos yields
vazy within 75-90 percent of theoretical.

Impurities in the technical-grade preparation include small quantities of p-nitro-

~ The insecticidal properties of all metaphos isomers have been studied, to include
the and forms of O,S-dimethyl-O-(4-nitrophenyl)-thiophosphates, of which the
left isomer has been found to be more toacic to animals (LDSp in rats is 25 mg/kg,
while the toxicity of the right isomer is 135 mg/kg). Of the three thiophosphates
with sulfur in different positions, the most toxic is 0,0-dimethyl-S-(4-nitrophenyl)-
-thiophosphate (the LDSp in mice is 7.5 mg/kg).
0,0-Dimethyl-O-(4-nitro-3-methylphenyl)-thiophosphate (metilnitrofos) is a light-
colored liquid with unpleasant odor; its vapor pressure at 20� is 6.0�10'6 mm Hg;
i2~ volatility is 0.09 mg/m3; its viscosity at 30�C is 20.8 centipoise; d4~ 1:308;
; nD 1.5505. It is freely soluble in most organic solvents, it mixes in all ratios
with methyl and ethyl alcohols, alkylacetates (262,263), ketones and aromatic hydro-
carbons. Its solubility is about 4 percent in kerose ne and about 7 percent in
- petroleum ether (see also Table 45).
Its LD50 in various E,xperimental animals is within 142-1,000 mg/kg. Its nature of
action upon animals is similar to that of inetaphos.
Metilnitrofos is practially indistinguishable from metaphos in its chemical proper-
~ ties, but its rate of hydrolysis by water and alkaliS is somewhat lower. Thus it
takes 5 minutes for 50 percent of inetaphos to be hydrolyzed in 0.1 N sodium hydroxide
solution at30�C, while metilnitrofos takes 12 minutes.
This preparation's thermal stability is also not very high, and when heated above
- 100�C it undergoes Pishchemuka isomerization and may explode as it decomposes. In ~
this connection overheating of the preparation should be avoided, both during its
production and during storage. The preparation must be stored in enamel, aluminum
= or glass containers. Iron promotes this preparation's decomposition, as~is true with
most other organophosphorus compounds. .

However, up to 30 percent of valuable m-cresol is lost in both methods of obtaining
4-nitro-3-methylphenol.
Systematic investigation of the insecticidal properties of mixtures of various
c~ompounds showed that O,0-dimethyl-0-(6-nitro-3-methylphenyl)-thiophosphate is an
active synergist i.n relation to many organophosphorus insecticides--thiophos,
~etaphos, thiophos-ME and 0,0-dimethyl-0-(4-nitro-3-methylphenyl)-thiophosphate.
When mixed at a 1:1 ratio with 0,0-dimethyl-O-(6-nitro-3-methylphenyl)-thiophosphate,
each of these organophosphorus compounds is active ~at the same concentrations as the

phate with isomeric nitrocresols--products of direct nitration of m-cresol by nitric
acid--has been proposed for use in agriculture. In terms of its insecticidal and
acaricidal activity this mixture is practically indistinguisl:able from pure
0,0-dimethyl-0-(4-nitro-3-methylphenyl)-thiophosphate. This preparation is called
metilnitrofos in the USSR (264,265).
Metilnitrofos and its analogues are marketed in the foxm of a 50 percent emulsion

when 2;4,5-trichlorophenol is heated for a long period~of time with phosphorus tri~
- cl~loride (in great excess) in the presence of a catalytic quantity of anhydrous
magnesium chloride. Sulfur is attached without isolating 0-(2,4,5-trichlorphenyl)-
-dichlorophosphite in pure form, and it is only after the second.reactionthat the

Volatile impurities can be removed from trikh�lormetafos by dis�tillation with live

T~e preparation is marketed in the USA with two degrees of purity: Ninety eight-
ninety nine percent main ingredient, and about 55 percent main ingredient.
O-Methyl-0-ethyl-0-(2,4,5-trichlorophenyl)-thiophosphate (trikhlormetafos-3) is the
closest homologue of trikhlormetafos, and it was first synthesized and proposed for
agricultural use in the Soviet Union. It is a colorless oily liquid having a vapor
pressure at 20�C of about 0.6�10'3 mm Hq; its volatility is about 8 mg/m3; d~~ 1.4345;'

- its solubility in water is 40 mg/l~iter.
Its LDSp in various experimental animals is 330-800 mg/kg.
- mrikhlormetafos-3 is used against insects and flies serving as a public health
nuisance. It is applied topically and administered gastrically at consumption norms
on�the order of 35-40 mg/kg animal live weight to control the cattle fly. At such
doses the preparation 'is eliminated relatively quickly from the animal body, and it
cloes not remain in milk and meat. I.t is also recommended against plant pests, and
it is effective against many suckin~ insects and ticks at a 0.1 percent concentrat~ion.
_ At these concentrations it does not injure plants (in contrast to ronnel, which is
hiqhly phytocidal).
It is marketed in the form of 30 and 50 percent emulsion concentrates containing
_ emulsifiers in addition to the active ingredient.

T'he impurities in trikhlorm~etafos-3 include small quantities of 2,4,5-trichlorophenol,
dimethylethylthiophosphate and some other compounds. The purity of the initial sub-
stances, and primarily of inethylethylchlorothiophosphate and 2,4,5-trichlorophenol,
has great significance to the quality of the preparation obtained. The former must
not contain diethylchlorothiophosphate impurities while the latter must not contain
dichlorophenols and isomeric trichlorophenols. Phenols can be removed from trikhlor-
metafos-3 by washing it with aqueous alkali solutions, while tri~ethylthiophosphate
and other volatile impurities can be removed by distillation with live steam (266).
Trikhlormetafos-3 is similar in chemical properties to ronnel, but it differs from
the latter in being more resistant to hydrolysis and reacting more slowly with amines.
Hydrolysis of trikhlormetafos proceed similarly as with hydrolysis of ronnel.
O,0-Diethyl-0-(2,4,5-trichlorophenyl)-thiophosphate is significantly more toxic to
mammals than ronnel and trikhlormetafos-3.
0,0-Dimethyl-0-(2,5-dichloro-4-bromophenyl)-thiophosphate (bromofos) is a white

98 in chlorobenzene and 112 in methylene chloride .(see aTso Table 45).
In an alkaline medium broinofos hydrolyzes similarly as with ronnel to form 0,0-di-
methylthiophosphoric acid, 2,5-dichloro-4-bromophenol,~0-methyl-O-(2,5-dichloro-4-

- At 22�C and pH 13, 50 percent of the preparation hydrolyzes in 3.5 hours. On plants,
bromofos decomposes practically completely in 13-20 days, 3epending on the plant
species. Bromofos is a mildly toxic preparation: Its LDSp to various animal species
is within 2,000-4,OOO.mg/kg. ~
Bromofos may be synthesized by all of the methods described for ronnel. The greatest
- difficulty lies in making 2,5-dichloro-4-bromophenol which apparently would best be
obtained by bromination of 2,5-dichlorophenol. In turn, 2,5-dichlorophenol can be
forn~ed by saponification of 1,2~,4-trichlorobenzene Yiy sodium hydroxide in methanol at
160-190�C under pressure. In this case a mixture of 2,4- and 2,5-dichlorophenols is
~ p~oduced, which is then separated by fractional precipitation out of alkaline solu-
tions, since the two compounds have different dissociation constants, or they may be
separated by complexinq with.urea (270,271). ~
Bromofos has been proposed for use against the most diverse species of insect pests,
- to include flies and other insects causing a public health nuisance. It is used as
- 20 and 25 percent emulsion concentrates, as 5 percent granulated preparations and as
aerosols.
The nearest homologue of bromofos is bromofos-etil, [O,0-diethyl-0-(2,5-dichloro-4-
-bromophenyl)-thiophosphate], which is an oily liquid; its vapor pressure at 30�C is
4. 2� 10~ 5 mm Hg ( see also Table 45) . '
Its LDSp in rats is 238 mg/kg.
B,romofos-etil is close to bromofos in its insecticidal activity. The preparation
iodfenfos (iodofos), or O,0-dimethyl-O-(2,5-dichloro-4-iodophenyl)-thiophosphate,
w~ich has been recommended in animal husbandry to control a number of flying insects
Gsee Table 71) [table not reproduced], has a wide.spectrum of action and a long time
of action. ~
0,0-Dimethyl-0-(4-methylmercapto-3-methylphenyl)-thiophosphate (lebaycid) is~a

esters and halogen derivatives of aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons, and it is
poorly soluble in petroleum ether (see also Table 45).
Its LDSp in rats is 215-245 mg/kg.
- Lebaycid is more resistant to hydrolysis and heating than metaphos. At 80�C 50 per-
cent of the.preparation hydroly~es in an acid medi~n in 36 hours, and in an alkaline
medium in 95 minutes. When it reacts with oxidizers, lebaycid oxidizes first to
sulfoxide.and then to sulfone: ~ �

Then oxidizers split off the thion sulfur from sulfone, which transforms into the
appropriate phosphate.~
..In natural conditions lebaycid is stable, and it may persist for a long period of
time.
In terms of its toxicity to insects, lebaycid is similar to chlorofos, but its
selectivity is lower, since its toxicity to mammals is higher~.
In anin?als and on plants, lebaycid oxidizes to sulfone, which then hydrolyzes and
breaks down into products harmless to animals.
It is marketed~in the form of a 50 percent emulsion concentrate, a 25 percent ~
wettable powde1�and a 3 percent dust. ~
Lebaycid is obtained with a 90 percent yield (of theoretical) by reacting 4-methyl-
mercapto-3-methylphenol with dimethylchlorothiophosphate in methylethylketone at
_ 60�C in the presence of finely pulverized potash.

A large number of analogues and homologues of lebaycid have been synthesizeiz and
studied, but most compounds are~more~toxic to anin~als than lebaycid. In particular
both O,0-dimethyl-0-(4-methylmercaPtophenyl)-thiophosphate and its oxygen analogue
- are more toxic. When a methyl group or a halogen atom is introduced in many mixed
thiophosphates at the~meta-position in relation to the ester group, toxicity to
vertebrates decreases while comparatively little change occurs in insecticidal
properties (see metilnitrofos,chlorthion, ronnel, trikhlormetafos-3, bromafos).
In addition to mixed esters of thiophosphoric acid containinq aromatic radicals,
mixed thiophosphates in the heterocyclic series have enjoyed some use as insecticides
and acaricides. Certain representatives of this series are effective, and they are
used on a broad scale.

In tenns of its hydrolyti~c stability diazinon is inferior to thiophos. In an acid
medium it hydrolyzes 12 times more quickly than thiophos, while in an alkaline medium
hydrolysis proceeds at practically the same rate. In excess water the main hydrolysis
products of diazinon are diethylthiophosphoric acid and 2-isopropyl-4-methyl-6-oxy-
pyrimidine, but when water is lacking in an acid medium, a small quantity of tetra-
ethyldithio- and tetraethylthiopyrophosphates forms.
Diazinon is marketed as emulsion concentrates, wettable powders, dusts and granulated
preparations, and it is used against various plant pests and animal parasites. Despite
fts relatively high toxicity to mammals, diazinon is believed to be a safe prepara-
tion in most countries, and it is usually classified as a group III toxic compound.

Dursban is an active insecticide used against sucking and gnawing insect pests as
well as aqainst household parasites. Z'he preparation's active life on various
surfaces is 6-11 weeks, but its life on plant leaves is shorter, apparently due to
- its fast hy~rolys.;~s by enzymes, though on cereal grain plants the preparation's life
is several weeks. Dursban is especially effective against mosquito larvae. When
applied to marshes at a consumption norm of 0.5 kg/ha, it caused 100 percent death
- of mosquitoes in 2 months.
There are indications that dursban is effective against~soil-inhabiting plant pests.

Asuntol is a valuable insecticide aqainst ectoparasitss of domesticated animals.
_ In the a~i.mal body it breaks down quickly, transforming into diethyl- and ethylthio-
phosphoric and -phosphoric acids, as well as H3P04. Owing to its low toxicity to
~ fish, asuntol is also of interest as a resource against mosquito larvae.
I It is obtained with a yield of more than 90 percent by reacting diethylchloro-
thiophosphate with 3-chloro-7-oxy-4-methylcoumarin in the presence of potash:

action. Its relatively low thermal stability is a shortcoming. Thus a 30�C it

Investigation of the metabolism of a large number of mixed esters of thiophosphoric
acid in various media showed that the metabolism of these compounds proceeds in two
, basic directions: hydrolysis and oxidation. Depending on the structure and reactivity
of the initial substan.ce, either hydrolysis or oxidation occurs first, but in some
cases these processes occur simultaneously (275). Hydrolysis may occur at the
P-OAr bond (or at the oxygen atom bound to the heterocycle) or at the P-OAlk bond;
as a rule the rate of hydrolysis is somewhat higher in the first case than in the
= second; however, in some cases these reactions proceed concurrently, though at
different rates. Oxidation occurs first at the thion sulfur. If sulfide sulfur is
~ present in the ester molecule, sulfoxides and sulfones form, after which the mole-
cule undergoes destruction. Aromatic and heterocyclic residues may enter into a
reaction with carbohydrates to form the appropriate glucuronates.
However, in many cases the organophosphorus compound may decompose all the way down
- to the simplest pxoducts. This is what happens, for example, in photochemical de-
composition of one of the most persistent organophosphorus insecticides--dursban
(287). This decomposition occurs as follows:

_ Mixed aliphatic esters of thiophosphoric acid are of significant interest as systemic
insecticides, amonq which mercaptophos, methyl-mercaptophos and its sulfoxide and
sulfone, and vamidotion have enjoyed rather broad application. Due to the hiqh
toxicity of inercaptophos to animals, its use has recently decreased significantly,
While the other preparations are enjoying rather broad use.
Methyl-mercaptophos is a methyl homologue of inercaptophos. Technical-grade methyl-
mercaptophos is a mixture of the thioZ (30 percent) and thion (70 percent) isomers
_ of O,0-di.methyl-2-ethylmercaptoethylthiophosphate.
The thion isomer of inethyl-mercaptophos is a liquid with~a aharacteristic unpleasant
odor;~its vapor pressure at 20� is 1.85�10-5 ~n Hg; its volatility is 23.3 mg/m3;
d4~ 1.1904. It is freely soluble in most orqanic solvents (see also Table 46).
- The thiol isomer of.methyl-mercaptophos is a liquid; its vapor pressure at 20�C is
3.6�10-4 mm Hg; its volatility is 4.5 mg/m3; d~6 1.207. It is freely soluble in
organic solvents (see also Table 46).
The chemical stability of inethyl-mercaptophos is lower than that of inercaptophos.
Thus for example methyl-mercaptophos is saponified at pH 3 and 70�C in 4.9 hours,
while mercaptophos takes 10 hours; the difference is even more sic~nificant in an
alkaline medium.
- R,egrouping of the thion isomer into the thiol isomer also proceeds faster. While it
takes 91 days for the thion isomer of inercaptophos to transform at 40�C into a
mixture containinq 90 percent thion and 10 percent thiol isomer, the thion isomer of
methyl-mercaptophos undergoes 10 percent isomerization under the same condit'ions in
8 days.
In the presence of traces of water, methyl-mercaptophos may enter into an inter~--
' molecular methylation reaction:

which in a number of cases is a reason for the product's spoilage during long-tern~
- storage. Metallic iron and some of its compounds have a negative influence on the
stability of inethyl-mercaptophos, for which reason storas~e of this preparation in
- iron containers is not recommended. It would be best of all to store methyl-
_ mercaptophos in enamsled containers or in containers made from pure aluminum.
Methyl-mercaptophos is less toxic than mercaptophos. The LD50 of the technical-
grade preparation is within 80-100 mg/kg. The LD50 of the thion isomer is 180
mg/kg, while that of thiol isomer is 40 mg/kg. The maximum permissible concentra-
tion in air is~0.1 mg/m3. ~

The metabolism of inethyl-mercaptophos in plants and insects proceeds similarly as
with mercaptophos, except that when methyl-mercaptophos enters into plants, it
quickly undergoes isomerization into the thiol isomer, which then undergoes metabolism
similarly as with mercantophos. The oxidation products of the thion isomer of
methyl-mercaptophos have not been observed, but they have been obtained syntheti-
cally.
Transformation and decomposition of inethyl-mercaptophos proceeds relatively quickly
in plants, owing to which its life as an znsecticide does not usually exceed 3 weeks.

- cidal activity. Thus for example, the LDSp of 0,0-dimethyl-S-(N-methylcarbamoyl-
methyl)-dithiophosphate in rats is 250 mg/kg, while that of 0-methyl-0-ethyl-S-(N-
' -methylcarbamoylmethyl)-dithiophosphate is 12 mg/kg.
Substitution of the methyl radical in the amide group by an ethyl radical does not
significantly change the compouncl's toxicity to homeothermic animals, but enlarging
the number of carbon atoms in the hydrocarbon radical at the nitrogen atom reduces
the compound's insecticidal activity. Substitution of the second hydrogen atom at
the nitrogen atom by hydrocarbon radicals also reduces the preparation's insectici-
dal activity. When this hydrogen atom is substituted by a carbalkoxyl or formyl
residue, the compound's activity against insects does not decrease, but its toxicity
to mammals grows significantly. However, there are exceptions to this general rule
(297 , 298) .
Addition of a carboxyl or a carbamoyl group to the hydrocarbon radical at the nitro-
gen atom produces acaricides and insecticides with highly selective action that
are moderately toxic to homeothermic ani.mals (292,293). Compounds obtained by join-
ing dialkyldithiophosphori.c acids to esters of cysteine (296) and acylated unsatu-
rated amino acids also possess insecticidal properties.
Insecticidal properties also persist when halogen atoms (~99), alkyl- and acylamino
groups (300), cyano (301,302) and phenyl and carbalkoxy groups (303) are added to
the hydrocarbon residue at the nitrogen atom. Substitution of hydrogen at the
nitrogen atom by alkylsulfonyl and~arylsulfonyl groups (304), sulfonylamido and
acylamido groups (305), alkylamino and dialkyl3cnino groups (306-308) and alkyl- and

alkoxy groups (309,310). produces substances with sufficiently high acaricidal and
insecticidal activity. In the last case, however, phytocidal activity rises somewhat.
Phytocidal activity increases especially strongly when one of the alkoxyls at the
phosphorus atom is substituted by an aryloxy residue (311). The resulting mixed
dithiophosphates have herbicidal action. When an amide group is substituted bp a
nitrogenous heterocyclic residue, herbicides form as well (312,313).
Mixed esters of ethylene qlycol also have insecticidal action (314). O-Alkyl-N-alkyl-
(dialkyl)amido-S-N-methylcarbamoylmethyldithiophosphates have not only insecticidal
ar}d acaricidal action but also fungicidal properties (315-317).
Compounds with general formula XIII enjoy rather broad use in agriculture as in-
secticides and acaricides.
Compounds with general formulas XIV and XV possess strong systemic acaricidal and
insecticidal action. The basic principles concerning the dependence of insecticidal
- and acaricidal activity on the structure oi these two groups of compounds may be
stated as follows:
1. For compounds with generdl formt~la XIV, increasing the number of carbon atoms to
more than two in all hydrocarbon radicals reduces toxicity to animals and to plant
pests . The most toxic compound is the ester in which R= R~ = R~"~ = C2H5. Substitu-
tion of R"" by an aromatic radical somewhat decreases toxicity to mamm~ls while
~aintaining acaricidal and insecticidal properties.
2. Of compounds with general formula XV, those with R= R' = CH3 are the least toxic
to manunals. Substitution of one methyl radical by an ethyi or higher hydrocarbon
residue sharply increases toxicity and somewhat intensifies insecticidal properties.
When the total number of carbon atoms i.n the R and R' radicals increases over four,
compounds with relatively low insecticidal activity form.
3. When various functional groups are introduced at R'~, compounds with high insecti-
cidal and acaricidal activity form (318-321,324). Mixed esters of dithiophosphoric
acid containing a carbalkoxyl or carbamide group at the methylene bridge have the
highest activity (318-321).
4: The appropriate sulfoxides and sulfones have high insecticidal and acaricidal
activity as well (322,323).
5. Compounds in which R" is a dialkyldithiophosphoric.residue also have acaricidal
and insecticidal properties'(327-329). ~
6. Substitution of sulfide sulfur by oxygen bound to an ar.yl group lead.s in most
cases to higher phytocida~ activity (330,331). Some compounds of this type have
been proposed as herbicides.
_ 7. As we proceed from derivatives of dithiophosphoric acid to derivatives of tri- and
- tetrathiophosphoric acids, the insecticidal and acaricidal properties diminish while
fungicidal and phytocidal activity increases (316,317,332,333).

g, when the carbon residue at the sulfide sulfur is substituted by a carbamic or di-
alkyldithiocarbamic acid residue, the resulting suUstances have fungicidal proper-
ties (334).
9. When the sulficle sulfur is substitutedbY an acylamino or an alkylamino group, the re-
sulting substances have varying pesticidal activity (335-347). MixPd dithiophos-
_ phates with carboxylic acid residues at the nitrogen atom have insecticidal and
acaricidal properties (335-339); alkylamino derivatives also have similar properties
(347). If the acyl group is a residue of an aliphatic sulfonic acid residue (340-
~ 342), the substance has insecticidal and acaricidal properties. But when an aromatic
sulfonic acid residue is introduced, phytocidal activity rises and the substances
; exhibit herbicidal action. There are indications that 0,0-dialkyl-S-hydrazomethyl-
dithiophosphates have not only insecticidal but also nematocidal action (348).
Mixed di*_hiophosphates containing halogen atoms at one of their aliphatic radicals,
for exanple O,0-dialkyl-S-(1,2,2-trihaloethyldithio)-phosphates and their homologues,
are active insecticides (350,353-359). 0-Alkyl-S-alkyl-S-aryldithiophosphates are active
~ insecticides and fungicides (349,351,352,360-363), while 0,0-dialkyl-S-alkenyldi-
thiophosphates obtained by attaching dialkyldithiophosphoric acids to butadiene and
allenes have nematocidal properties (355). .
Many amido esters of dithiophosphoric acid have fungicidal properties (163). Active
_ fungicides exhibiting highly selective action i:nclude 0,0-dialkyl-S-benzyldithio-
phosphates and especially 0-alkyl-S-alkyl-S-benzyldithiophosphates (364-372)--both
unsubstituted and containing various substituents in the benzyl radical (367-372),
and diamido-S-benzyldithiophosphates (373). O-Alkyl-S,S-diaryldithiophosphates,
meanwhile, have fungicidal action (374-378). 0-Alkyl-S,S-dialkyldithiophosphates
are rather active nematocides (375).

The reaction between diphenyldisulfide and metallic sodium in the presence of
alkyldichlorophosphate may be used to obtain 0-alkyl-S,S-diphenyldithiophosphates.
The dialkyldithiophosphoric acids required for synthesis of mixed dithiophosphates
can be obtained with a good yield.by reacting phosphorus pentasulfide with alcohols:
P~S` 4ROH HzS . 2(RO),PSH
S
Trialkyldithiophosphate is fozmed in small quantities as a byproduct.
The purity of the initial phosphorus pentasulfide is highly significant to synthesis
of dialkyldithiophosphoric acids, since impurities ~ncrease the amount of byproducts,

is obtained directly by reacting equimolar quantities of sulfur and yellow phosphorus

grade phosphorus pentasulfide does not require further purification. When P2S5 must
be purified, it is either crystallized out of carbon disulfi3e or it is subjected
~ to vacuum distillation.

0,0-Dimethyl-S-(1,2-dicarbethoxyethyl)-dithiophosphate (carbofos, malathion) is a
colorless liquid; d45 1 23, n~js 1.4985; vapor pressure at 20�C is 1.25�10-4 ~n Hg;
volatility is 2.26 mg/m3. Carbofos is freely soluble in most organic solvents, with
the exception of saturated hydrocarbons (see also Table 47).
The LDSp in various experimental animals is 500-1,500 mg/kg. The maximum p~rmissible
~~oncentration is air is 0.5 mg/m3.
When heated for a long period of time~at 150�C carbofos undergoes isomerization,

Hydrolysis of carbofos in acid and alkali media proceeds in different ways. While in

The reaction is used for quantitative polarographic determination o~ carbofos.
When carbofos is oxidized by nitric acid or other strong oxidants, tha thionic sulfur
atom splits off, and the corresponding thiolphosphoric ester forms:

_ When allowed to remain'in prolonged contact with iron or materials containing iron,
carbofos breaks down and loses its insecticidal properties completely. In this
connection it cannot be stored~.in iron containers. It is preserved best in glass
containers.
The preparation is marketed as an emulsion concentrate containing~30-60 ~~ercent
active ingredient, an emulsifier and a solvent. Xylol is used as the solvent.
The preparation is made for ultralow volume spraying as a 90-96 percent ccncentrate
containing only an insignificant quantity of additives.
Carbofos can also be used in the form of dusts or suspensions obtained from wettable
powder. Usually carbofos is used in agriculture at a 0.2-0.25 percent concer:.tration
(active ingredient). Residual quantities of carbofos have been established iTt the
USSR at not more than 8 mg/kg.
The main method of obtaining carbofos is to attach dimethyldithiophosphoric acid to
maleic acid ester. The reaction proceeds very readily in the presence of basic
catalysts, both in various organic solvents and without them:

This reaction may be combined with that of obtaining dimethyldithiophosphoric acid
from methanol and phosphorus pent~-tsulfide. This process is performed in a diethyl-
maleate medium. However sometimes ~he reaction (in the combined method~ proceeds
' so violently that the product undergoes spontaneous decomposition.
Technical-grade carbofos obtained by this method contains small quantities of
trimethyldithiophosphate, diethylmaleate and solvent. Xylol is usually used as
the solvent for carbofos synthesis. The carbofos yield with this reaction is more
than 80 percent of theoretical, but when condensation is combined with acquisition
of dimethyldithiophosphoric acid, the yield is somewhat lower.
The basic flowchart of ~btaining carbofos by this method is shown in Figure 19.

Volatile impurities, including trimethyldithiophosphates, can be~removed from carbo-
fos by distillation with live steam (422), while excess dimethyldithiophosphoric
acid can be removed by washing with alkalis (423) or with sodium sulfide solution
(424). Unreacted diethylmaleate is hydrolyzed (423). The unpleasant odor is re-
moved by oxidizing the preparation with oxygen in the presence of heavy metals
(425), or cumyl hyd~oxide is added (426-428). It should be noted that when carbofos
is allowed to stand for a long period of time, the unpleasant odor returns.
A large number of analoques and homologues of carbofos have been synthesized and
studied, but most~of them are highly toxic to animals, owina to which they have
not enjoyed much use. 0,0-Diethyl-S-(carbethoxymethyl)-dithiophosphate known in
the literature as atsetion (boiling point 92�C at 0.01 mm Hg; d4~ 1.176; LDSp in
rats 1,050-1,100 mg/kg), is of interest as a resource against flies. It is synthe-
sized by reacting ethylmonachloroacetate with sodium diethyldi~hiophosphate in an
aqueous medium while heating for. a short period of time:

Although it is not in use, this preparation is of connsiderable theoretical interest,
since its low toxicity to animals was predicted on the basis of research on the
metabolism of organic phosphorus compounds.
When the ester group in the acetic acid residue of atsetion and its homologues is
substituted by an amide group, the compound's insecticidal activity rises dramati-
cally; concurrently its toxicity to m~mmals increases as well. However, the incr~ase
in toxicity to mammals is less significant, owing *_o which many such amides are of
significant practical interest, and some of them are used in agriculture. Today
seven preparations in this group of substances are in use, and a number of compounds
are presently being studied.
~ 0,0-Dimethyl-S-(N-methylcarbamoylmethyl)-dithiophosphate (phosphamide) is a snow-
white crystalline,substance; vapor pressure at 20�C is 8.5�10's ~r? Hg; volatility
is 0.107 mg/m3. It is freely soluble in water and in most organic solvents, but it
is poorly soluble in paraffin hydrocarbons (see also Table 47).
The LDSp of pure preparation in rats is 250-265~mg/kg. Technical-grade preparat~.on
is more toxic (LDSp 150-160 mg/kg) due to presence of impurities, the most important
of which is 0,0-dimethyl-S,N-methylcarbamoylmethyl)-thiophosphate (LD50 in rats
55 mg/kg).

- The resulting O,S-dimethyl-S-(N-methylcarbamoylmethyl)-dithiophosphate is more

_ oxygen proceeds especially readily on the green leaves of plants), phosphamide trans-
forms into 0,0-dimethyl-S-(N-methylcarbamoylmethyl)-thiophosphate:

medium it is more stable (at 70�C 50 percent of phosphamide undergoes saponification

Metabolism of phosphamide apparently differs in plants and animals. The following

Depending on the consumption nozm, the preparation usually breaks down in a plant
within 15-20 days. Of course this also depends on the nature of the plant and
on the meteorological conditions. .
PhosphamidE is relatively unsta.ble when stored, and it quickly decamposes, especially
at hiqher temperature. Impurities.in phosghamide catalyze its decomposition.
Preparation containing traces of organic bases decomposes at a high rate; decompo-
sition of phosphami.de in the presence of bases is accompanied by alkylation. Solu-
tions of phospham~.de in organic solvents are more stable.

have been proposed for use as insectic?des (429-431).~

= Usually phosphamide is marketed as a 40 percent emulsion concentrate containing,
i.n addition to the active ingredient, an emulsifier and organic solvent. It is
used against herbiv~rous mites, aphids and other sucking plant pests at preparation
consumption norms of 700-1,000 gm/ha (active ingredient). At higher concentrations
phosphamide is phytocidal.
_ The preparation's time of action is about 15 daps. In many covntries its life
expectancy is set at 10-15 days.
Phosphamide may be obtained by two methods: First, by reacting dimethyldithio-
phosphoric acid salts with N-methylchloroacetamide:
(CN,O)1PSK -I- CICIi,CONHCH, (CFI,O),PSCH,CONfICH, -F KCI
S S
This reaction is usually performed in a medium cnnsisting of water and some
organic solvents. The product yield is 80-95 percent; the purity of the initial
substances has great significance.
Second, phosphamide may be obtained by reactinq 0,0-dimethyl-S-(carboxymethyl)- or
S-(carbalkoxymethyl)-dithiophosphate with hydrated methylamine at low temperature
(432): ~
(CH,O)1PSCH,COOC6Ha CH,NHz (Cf1~0)2~SCt{2CONHCH~ CBH60fi
S S
Both the phenyl and the ethyl esters are used. The phosphamide yield is more than
90 percent of theoretical; however, the phosphamide obtai.ned by this method is
less stable. Stabilization of the preparation requires very careful removal of
all impurities, and primarily excess methylamine, traces of which promote decomposi-
~ tion of phosphamide.
As with most other organophosphorus compounds, storage of phosphamide in iron con-
tainers is not recommended. Even stainless steel promotes faster decomposition of
stored preparation.
O,O-Dimethyl-S-[N-(S -zaethoxyethyl)-carbamoylmethyl]-dithiophosphate (tiokron) is
crystalline when pure, with a melting point of 46�C. Technical-grade product
is a liquid with unpleasant odor that cannot be distilled in a high vacuum. It is
moderately soluble in water, and more so in alcohols and esters, while it is.poorly
soluble in aliphatic hydrocarbons (see also Table 47). .
The LDSp in rats is 600-660 mg/kg.
Tiokron is similar in chemical properties to phosphamide. Tiokron is synthesized
by reacting alkali metal or ammonium dimethyldithiophosphates with monochloroacetic
acid methoxyethylamide:

Tiokron is a good contact acaricide and insecticide, having systemic action for 15-20
days. It is marketed in the form of an emulsion concentrate. At the moment the
scale of this prepar~tion's use is not great, but it is doubtlessly interesting due
to its low toxicity to animals and man. The metabolism of this preparation in plants
is apparently similar to metabolism of phosphamide.
O,O-Dimethyl-S-(N-methyl-N-formylcarbamoylmethyl)-dithiophosphate (formothion) is
poorly soluble in water and readily soluble in organic solvents; C~46 1.361 (see also

Its LD~p in rats is 330 mg/kg.
It is similar in chemical properties to phosphamide, but it is more stable when
stored and heated. One of the principal metabolic products in the animal organism
is 0,0-dimethyl-S-(carboxymethyl)-dithiophosphate, which is subsequently hydrolyzed

0,0-Dimethyl-S-(a-carbethoxybenzyl)-dithiophosphate (tsidial) is an oily liquid
with a characteristic unpleasant odor that decomposes when distilled in a vacuum.
It is freely soluble in most ~rganic s~lvents and poorly soluble in water; d~~ 1.226.
, Its ignition point is 168-172�C.
Tsidial is thermally unstable, and when heated to 120�C for 110 hours it undergoes
almost 50 percent decompositian. At 50�C it withstands 30-day heating without
noticeable ~ecomposition (see also Table 47).
Tsidial may manifest insecticidal action for 15-25 days. It is an insecticide with
= a broad spectrum of action, and it is used against herbiverous mites and sucking
insects, as well as against lea.f-miners. Tsidial also produces gaod results against
the codling moth. .
Tsidial is classified as a moderately *.oxic preparation to m.ammals: Its LD50 in
rats is 250-300 mg/kg.
- Tsidial is obtained by reacting alkali metal dimethyldithiophosphates with halophenyl-
acetic acid esters (434,435).

4,0-Diethyl-S-(6-chlorobenzoxazolinon-2-yl-3-methyl~)-dithiophosphate (phosalone)
is a white crystalline substance with the odor of garlic. Phosalone is poorly
- soluble in water and freely soluble in many organic solvents (see also Table 47).
Its LDSp in rats is 135 mg/kg, and in mice it is 180 mg/kg.
In an acid medium phosalone is relatively stable, while hydrolysis proceeds rather
quickly in an alkaline medium. The principal hydrolysis products are 6-chloro-
benzoxazolone, diethylthiophosphoric acid and formaldehyde.
When phosalone reacts with oxidants, first the thion sulfur breaks off and the
preparation transforms into O,0-diethyl-S-(.6-chlorobenzoxazol~rr-2-yl-3-methyl)-
-thiophosphate, which is relatively unstable and breaks down quickly. It is believed
that this compound is the first metabolite of phosalone in plants.
- Phosalone is recommended against pests of various crops, and it is a hiqhly promising
sul~stitute o~f DDT and other persistent organochloride insecticides. It is also used
as a seed disinfectant with the purpose of protecting plant sprouts against damage
by harmful insects and mites.

The 3-chlorome~hul-6-chlorabenzoxazolone required for synthesis of phosalone is
produced with a good yield by the action,of formalin and hydrochloric acid upon
6-chlorobenzoxazolone (392). The reaction may also be performed in one stage with-
out isolation of 3-oxymethyl-6-chlorobenzoxazolone. In turn, 6-chlorobenzoxazolone ~
is obtained with a good yield by direct chlorination of benzoxazolone by chlorine
in tetrachloroethane or tetrachloroethylene (433). Secause benzoxazolone and its
di- and trichloro derivatives are readily soluble in tetrachloroethane, the purity
of 6-chlorobenzoxazolone obtained by.direct chlorination of benzoxazolone in tetra-
chloroethane is high, and follawing separation from the solvent, it may be used
withc5ut further purification to make phosalone.

Pyrophosphoric Acid Derivatives
Produced in Germany in 1943, tetra,ethylpyrophosphate was the first organophosphorus
insec~icide, known under the na..~,s of bladan and TEPP. After information on the ~
insecticidal properties of tetra~*-h_ylpyrophosphate and related compounds was ~
published, systematic research on the pesticidal properties of orqanic compounds of
phosphorus began. A number of compounds ::�~re 2ound among the studied derivatives
of pyrophospY:oric acid; some of them are still significant today.
i
Tlze following laws were established for the dependence between insecticidal activity
~ and structure of pyrophosphates.
. The insecticidal activity of tetraalkyl;PYrophosphates decreases as the ester radical
grows in size. The most active compound is tetraethylpyrophosphate, while thA activ-~
- ity of tetramethy~,PYrophosphate is somewhat lower.
I � .
; Tetraalk.ylmonothiopyrophosphates exhibit greater insecticiclal activity than tetra-
~ alkyl,pYrophosphates, but their toxicity to mammals is concurrently higher. Add.i-
tion of a second sulfur atom at the phosphorus atom reduces the compound's toxicity
~ to manunals~wi.thout noticeably decreasinq its insecticidal activity.
i
Addition o� a third sulfur atom to the phasphorus.~atom reduces the compound's insect-
~ .
I icidal activity. Zhus for exampl.e, 0,0,0,0-tetraalkyldithiopyrophosphates have greater
i insecticidal activity than do~0,0,0,0-tetraalkyltrithiopyrophosphates with the same
~ hydrocarbon� radicals.
i
Tetraalkydithiopyrophosphates containing different hydrocarbon radicals exhibit
almost the same insecticidal activity as do the corresponding symmetrical tetra-
~ alkyldithiopyrophosphates with the same molecular weight.
All pyrophosphates have stronq contact insecticidal action, and have practically '
~ no systemic insecticidal action due to their low hydrolytic stability and fast
decomposition on plants to form nontoxic products. Systemic activity appears as
we proceed from pgrophosphoric acid esters to amides. Contact insecticidal activity
decreases in this case. Pyrophosphoric acid octamethyltetramide has been proposed
as a systemic insecticide. It does not have contact insecticidal activity, which
is why it is used to protect mulberry trees from sucking pests. �
Many general methods of obtaining esters and amides.~f pyrophosphoric, th~.o-,
dithio- and trithiopyrophosphoric acids have been described in the� literature.
We will note only the most.important methods, those having significance to pro-
duction of ~this type of compounds. � ~

ethylphosphoric acid in the first case and diethylphosphoric acid amide and salt in
the second. It enters into an interesting reaction with anhydrous hydrogen fluoride
~and potassium bifluoride, in which diethylfluorophosphate, which is toxic to ma~nals,
forms.
TEPP is characterized as being toxic to animals and man, for which reason it must
behandled with great aaution. Its LD50 in rats is 1.2 mg/kg. �The insecticiaal ac-
tivity of TEPP is close to three times weaker than that of thiophos, owing to which
its use is continually decreasing.

7,'he aqueous solution of pure preparation is neutral,and it may be stored indefinitely
without changing. Tn an acid medium octamethyl quickly decomposes, while in an
alkaline medium it is more stable. Thus for example, 50 percent of the preparatiun
hydrolyzes in neutral aqueous solution in 100 years, while it takes 200 minutes in
1 N HC1 solution and 70 days in 1 N sodium hydroxide solution.

- Octamethyl can be oxidized by potassium permanganate or other oxidants.
Octamethyl is chlorinated to form, in the first stage of the process, the corres-
ponding chloromethyl derivative. A total of four chlorine atoms can be introduced.
Octamethyl is used on a minor scale as a long-acting systemic insecticide. It is
used in the USSR to control sucking pests of the mulberry tree, since it is harmless
to silkworms that feed on the leaves of the mu].berry tree. ~
The principal industrial method of producing octamethyl is to react tetramethyl-
diamidochlorophosphates with water in the presence of tertiary amines, for example
pyridine or, still better, tetraethylamine. Good yields are also obtained by re-
acting tetramethyldiamidochlorophosphate with potash. Octamethyl can also be

Phosphranic Acid Derivatives
Active insecticides, acaricides, fungicides and herbicides have been found among
the large number of alkyl- and arylphosphonic, alkylthio-, arylthio- and dithio-
phosphonic, and dialkyl- and diarylphosphonic acid derivatives, but only a few com-
pounds have found practical applications in agriculture. Most organophosphorus
derivatives of this type are still in the research staqe.
The toxicity of mi.xed esters of inethyl- and ethyl~thiophosphonic acids to homeothermic
animals is hiqher i.n most cases than that of analoqous mixed esters of phosphoric
acid (2), thougk~ there are exceptions as well. Toxicity decreases as the size of
the hydrocarbon radical bound to phosphorus increases. The toxicity of alkylphos-
~ phonic acids is relatively low, and it depends to a great extent on which radicals .
are bound to phosphorus. The corresponding derivatives of thio- and dithiophosphonic
- acids exhibit extremely variable toxicity to mammals, which depends to a great extent
on the structure of ester r~dicals (293,439-441).
- Mixed esters of thio- and dithioalkylphosphonic acids have insecticidal and acaricidal
action in most cases (442-455y; they are active aqainst soil-inY:abiting pests as
well (453). Many amido esters of alkylphosphonic and thiophosphonic acids also have
insecticidal and acaricidal properties (456-458). Epoxypropylphosphonic acid deriva-
~ tives have bactericidal action (460). It would be interesting to note that substi-
tution of one of the ester radicals by a benzyl group causes fungicidal properties
to arise in alkylthio- and alkyldithiophosphonates. Benzylthiophosphonates also have
_ similar properties (461,462).
Many mixed esters of alkylthio- and alkyldithiophosphonic acids containing different
functional groups in both the ester radicals and the radical bound to phosphorus have '
insecticidal and acaricidal properties (443,465-469,471). Insecticidal properties
have also been noted in methylphosphonate and methylthiaphosphonate.hydrazides (470).
Substitution of hydrogen in the hydrocarbon radical at the phosphorus atom of alkyl-
phosphonic acid derivatives by a halogen atom reduces toxicity to vertebrates. Thus
for example, mixed esters and ester amides of chloromethyl-, chloromethylthio- and
- chloromethyldithiophosphonic acids exhibit lower toxicity than the corresponding
derivatives of inethyl-, methylthio- and methyldithiophosphonic acids (443,463,464).
Ester amides of chloromethylthiophosphonic acid have herbicidal action, and they
are recotmnended for use on rice and vegetables to control millet-lik~ weeds (464).
It w~uld be interesting to note that accumulation of halogen atoms in the methyl
group reduces the compound's herbicidal activity. Complete chloromethylthiophos-
phonic acid amides are even less active, while the corresponding derivatives of
chloromethylphosphonic acid are still less active (463,464).
2-Chloroethylphosphonic acid is an interesting plant growth regulator (472-476).
It hastens maturation of fruits, and it causes leaf fall in a number of crops.
_ The action of 2-chloroethylphosphonic acid and its acid esters is based on their
decomposition and liberation of ethylene.
Allyldithiophosphonates have nematacidal action (477,478). Alkoxyvinyldithiophos-
phonates (479) and dialkoxythiophosphonacetates (480) have similar properties.
Alkoxyvinyl-, alkylsulfonyl- and alkylsul�i.nyldithiophosphates have herbicidal
action (481-486). Aminomathylphosphonates have herbicidal action as well (487).

Addition of a hydroxyl radical at the carbon atom b.ound to phosphorus as a rule re-
duces toxicity of esters and other derivatives of alkylphosphonic acids to mammals,
though there are exceptions to this gener~l dependence.
Enlargement of the hydrocarbon radical bound to phosphorus reduces the toxicity
and insecticidal activity of the compound. For example the LD50 in rats (mg/kg~ is
2.5 for O-ethyl-0-(4-nitrophenyl)-methylthiophosphonate, 25 for 0-ethyl-0-(4-nitro-
phenyl)-isopropylthiophosphonate and 250 for O-ethyl-0-(4-nitrophenyl)-n-hexylthio-
phosphonate. Toxicity to mammals changes depending on the structure of ester radi-
cals in the same order as for esters of phosplioric and thiophosphoric acid. Thus
O-alkyl-O-(4-nitrophenyl) esters of alkylphosphonic acids are more toxic than the
O-alkyl-0-(2,4,5-trichlorophenyl) esters of these acids.
~ As we proceed from alkylphosphonic, alkylthiophosphonic and alkyldithiophosphonic
acids to the derivatives of arylphosphonic, arylthiophosphonic and aryldithiophos-
phonic acids, toxicity to vertebrates decreases significantly, while in most cases
the pesticidal properties persist. This is valid primarily in relation to mixed
esters of arylphosphonic acids, which are less toxic than the corresponding esters
of alkylphosphonic acids.
Many phosphonic and thiophosphonic acids containing thiofuran (490,491), furan ~494),
piperidine (489) and other heterocyclic residues are also active insecticides,
acaricides and bactericides..
Some compounds of these series which have enjoyed some.practical use are shown in
Table 48.
The usual method of obtaining mixed esters af alkylphosphonic, alkylthiophosphonic
and alkyldithiophosphonic acids is to react the appropriate acid chlorides with
alcohols, phenols and mercaptans in the presence of hydrogen chloride acceptors
(496-507):

Tertiary amines, alkali and alkali-earth metal carbonates, caustic alkalis and other
inorganic and organic bases may be used as hydrogen chlQride acceptors. Metallic
capper is often used in.the reaction as a catalyst (496).
Similarly as with mixed esters.of thiophosphoric acid, mixed esters of alkylthio-
phosphonic acid are obtained in acetone or methylethylketone in the presence of
potash or soda by prolonged boiling of the reaction mixture. The reaction with
mercaptans is also performed in the presence of hydrogen chloride acceptors (507,
5~8), ~rhich are usually tertiary amines.

phinic acid chloride by heating di.methyldisulfide with phosphorus chloride to
300-400�C (519). A nua~ber of.other methods of obtaining alkylphosphonic and alkyl-
thiophosphonic acid chlorides have been described (22).
Various benzylphosphonic and benzothiophosphonic acids, the esters~of which~are
fully analogous with alkylphosphonic acid dzrivatives, are obtained similarly as
alkylphosphonic acids (520-523). Most suc:~ derivatives have fungicidal properties.
- Esters and s~ther derivatives of arylphosphonic and arylthiophosphonic acids are

Because a number of derivatives of phosphonic acids are enjoying extensive applica-
tion, the metabolism of some preparations in various biological media has been
- studied, to include chlorofos (274,538,53~), difonat (540,541), VTsS-506 (542) and
other preparations of this type. It should be noted that the P-C bond is rather
strong, and that during metabolism it is broken apart rather slowly; compounds having
substituents such as halogen, hydroxyl and so on at the a-carbon atom are an Excep-
tion. Such compounds break down rath~r quickly to form, in the end, phosphoric acid,
which is assimilated completely by plants. The most important representatives of
this type of compounds are presented below.
0,0-Dim~thyl-(1-oxy-2,2,2-trichloroethyl)-phosphonate (chlorofos) is a white
_ crystalline powder; its solubility (gm/100 gm) is 12.3 in water, 15.2 in benzene
and 75 in chtoroform. It is poorly soluble in paraffin hydrocarbons. Determination
of the molecular weight of chlorofos showed that it is a dimeric compound. The
vapor pressure of chlorofos at 20�C is 7.8�10'6 mm Hg. Its volatility is 0.11 mg/m3
(see also Table 48).
_ Chlorofos is classified as a moderately toxic compound. Its LDg~ in rats is 560
mg/kg. The maximum permissible concentration in air is 0.5 mq/m .
The preparation is broadly emploped against various plant pests (sucking and gnawing),
to include eurygaster,codling moth, corn borer, various species of flies and the
cattle fly. The ~attle fly is controlled by a special form of the preparation con-
tainingchlorofos solution mixed with mineral oil and isopropyl or butyl alcohol.
This solution penetrates quickly throuqh the animal's skin, which permits dramatic
reduc~.ion of the dose of the preparation used to process the animals.
Chlorofos is stable in an acid medium and undergoes fast hydrolysis in an alkaline
medium; hydrolysis proceeds along two pathways. In an acid medium the first product
of.hydrolysis is 0-methyl-(1-oxy-2,2,2-trichloroethyl)-phosphonic acid, which hydro-
~ lyzes further to phosphoric acid:

b UI~ , CliaO~~ OH .
Chlorofos decomposes especially quickly when exposed to light in dilute solutions.
In an alkaline medium chlorofos undergoes dehydrochlorination and concurrent re-
groupinq. The principal reaction product is O,d-dimethyl-0-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)-
phosphate (DDVP):

Chlorofos is a qood methylating agent, and for example it can react with potassium
iodide to form methxliodide.
When aqueous solutions of chlorofos are stored for a long~period of time, the pre-
paration underqoes partial hydrolysis, owing to which the solution becomes acidic due
to presence of phosphoric, dimethylphosphoric and hydrochloric acids. Storaqe of
chlorofos in unlined iron cnntainers is not recomanended.
R,educing agents also decompose chlorofos.
Ztao methods can be used to obtain it on an industrial scale:
1. Condensation of dimethylphosphite wi*_h chloral:
(CFI,O),PrtO ? CCI~CIiO (CIi,O),P-CHCCI~ ,
- b bH ~
The reaction proceeds at room temperature, and heat is liberateci. Chlorofos may be
obtained with a practical quantitative yield.
The purity of the initial dimethylphosphite has great significance in this method.
- The purer the dimethylphosphite is, the grea~er is the yield and the better is the
quality of the chlorofos. It is best to use distilled dimethylphosphite. It can
be distilled in a film evaporator at 5-8 mm Hg. Such dimethylphosphite usually
contains 93-96 percent pxincipal substance, and when it is used, 93-95 percent chloro-
fos forms, with a small quantity of acidic impurities. When technical-grade undis-
tilled dimethylphosphite is used, the concentration of the principal substance in
the resulting chlorofos is 8'7-88 percent. It contains a rather large amount of
acidic impurities, as well as 0-methyl-2,2,2-trichloro-l-oxyethylphosphonic acid
and the reaction product of chloral and phosphoric acid.
The di.methylphosphite required for synthesis of chlorofos is obtained by reacting
phosphorus trichloride with methanol: .
PCIy 3CtI,Utl (CII,O);{~IIU '~FICI Ct1,Cl ,
Usually the process is performed in an organic solvent at low temperature. Methyl-
chloride is a convenient solvent. It boils at -24�C,~and as it evaporates it cools
the reaction mixture w~ile simultaneously removinq the hydrogen chloride formed.
- Dimethylphosphite is usually obtained in a continuous process. After the reaction
ends, the solvent is distilled away, and the liqht fractions are evaporated in a
column. Dimethylphosphite is purified by distilli~ng it in a film evaporator at a
temperature on the order of 120�C ati 5-8 aan Hg. TY~e dimethylphosphite yield in this
method exceeds 90 percent, if we count phosphorus trichloride.
Obtai.ning dimethylphosphite in the presence of water has been proposed as a way of
avoidinq formation of inethylchloride (549):

However, no information on industrial use of this method has been published.
- Monomethylphosphite and phosphoric acid are fozmed in small quantities as byproducts
of the dimethylphosphite acquisition process:
(CH,O)1NH0 HCI CH,U~(Oli), CH~CI
(CH~O)zPFfO ? 2l~ICI -r Fi~PO~ 2CFI~C1
At high temperature phosphoric acid is capable of undergoing disproportionation,
_ releasing phosphine:
4H~P0~ 3H3P0~ ? Pt{~
When the process of obtaining dimethylphosphite is performed incorrectly, liberation
of phosphine may be a cause of spontaneous combustion. ~ ~
In the second method the reaction of forming dimethylphosphite and its reaction
- with chloral are combined into a sinqle stage. The process is performed in organic
solvent, with the heat beinq extracted:
3CH~OH PCI~ -1- CCI,CHU (CIi~O),P-CHCCI~ CH~CI 2HCl
~ b bH .
- The chlorofos yield in this'combined method is more than 80-85 percent. �
Chlorofos is purified by recrystallizing it out of water or organic solvent. The
mother liquor from chlorofos recrystallization is usually "used to p'roduce DDVP, which
is enjoying increasingly greater application in agriculture and at h~me.
There are many modifications of the second method of obtaining chlorofv~: tiatious
solvents can be used (carbon tetrachloride, methylchloride, chlorobenzene etc.);
the process can be performed in a broad interval of temperatures. Chlorofos may
be obtained by both the first and the second method in periodic arid continuous
processes (543,544).
Chlorofos obtained by the methods described above can be purified by washing away
- the acidic impurities in chloroform solution; when the latter is evaporated away,
the resultinq chlorofos contains more than 90 percent principal ingredient and a
minimum quantity of impurities. Wettable powders are easily produced from such
chloxofos. Surfactants and solid carriers performing the role of crystallization
centers are added to technical-grade chlorofos to hasten its crystallization (545).
A large number of arialogues and homologues of chlorofos has been synthesized, but
- their insecticidal properties are siqnificantly weaker than those of chlorofos.
Thus for example, 0,0-diethyl-(lioxy-2,Z,2-trichloroethyl)-phosphonate is almost
15 times less active against flies than chlorofos, and it is more toxic to homeo-
thermic animals. Among the derivatives of chlorofos, some of its esters with
various acids have.attracted in}erest in their use as insecticides.

Besides phosphoric acid esters and amides, some salts of substituted phosphonium,
- which have varied pesticidal activity, have been studied as pesticides. One of thE~
first to be used aqainst moths was 3,4-dichlorobenzyltriphenylphosphonium chloride,
which was an ingredient of eylan, with which furs and wool were impregnated to
prevent destruction by moths. Tetraalkylphosphonium salts have almost the same
bactericidal and fungicidal action as do ammonium salts with identical hydrocarbon
radicals (547). '

Systematic study of the bialogical activity of phosphonium salts established that
the activity of a compound depends not only on the structure of the cation but also
on the structure of the anion. Substances have been found among phosphonium salts
that exhibit not onl~� microbiological and insecticidal activity but also herbicidal
properties (548). However, they have not as yet found practical applications.

Despite the fact that research on the pesticidal properties of s-triazine derivatives
� began relatively recently, there have been siqnificant successes in this area, and
a large number of preparations' have found practical applicatia:~s in agriculture and
industry. Triazines of the followinq types (XII-XVIII) are used aS pesticides (61):

Compounds with qeneral forcaula XII containinq an aliphatic radical at ~he noncyclic
nitrogen atom are inadequately stable, and t~~ey do not enjoy practical use, though
they do have herbicidal properties. When this aliphatic radical is replaced by an
aranatic radical the phytoc~.dal properties decrease, and the compound's funqicidal
activity rises. The most active compound used aqainst plant diseases is 2,4-di-
chloro-6-(2'-chlorophenylamino)-a-triazine (diren). Its isomers with halogen in
other positions are less active.

Compounds with general ~or~nula XIII exhibit high herbicidal activity in the event
that the hydrocarbon radicals at the� noncyclic nitrogen atom contain not more than
four carbon atoms. When the length of the carbon chain of the radicals at the nitro-
gen atom increases (>C4), the compound's herbicidal activity decreases. A similar
1gW iS observed with the series of compounds with general formula XIV.
When a halogen atom is substituted by a hydroxyl group the compound loses its herbi-
cidal properties completely, while substitution by an alkoxyl group (compounds with
formula XV) or an alkylmercapto group (compounds with formula XVI), the compound's
selectivity changes while herbicidal properties are retained. Compounds of this
series exhibit optimum activity when the alkoxyl or alkylmercapto group contains
- one carbon atom, though there are indications in the literature that compounds con-
taining a carbomethylmercapto group (62,63) and some other groups (64) do have herbi-
cidal properties as well. Substitution of the halogen atom by a 2-chlorallylmercapto
(65,66), benzylmercapto (61) or benzyloxy group (68) causes fungicidal properties
to appear. ~
2-Fluoro, 2-azido (70-73), 2-cyano (75-77), 2-dialkylaminooxy (78) and 2-dialkylamino-
mercapto (79) 4-alkylamino-6-alkylamino-8-triazines also have herbicidal properties.
Herbicidal properties are possessed by 2-azido-4-methylmercapto-6-alky.lamino-s-tri-
azines (69,74) and trialkoxy-s-triazines (80) as well. ~
Herbicidal properties are exhibited by diamino-s-triazines containing hydrocarbon
radicals at the noncyclic nitro.qen of the most diverse structure, to include secondary
(61,82) and tertiary (61,83,84) alkyl groups, unsaturated groupings (85-89) such as
allyl (87), acetylene hydrocarbon residues (86,89) and polyfluoroalkyl groups (90,91)

mercapto-4-alkylamino-6-alkoxyalkyl-s-triazines (101-104) and -6-alkylmercaptoalkyl-

residues as well as residues of various derivatives of the acids of phosphorus, have
been patented as herbicides. ~
A large number of s-triazines containing a nitrile group in the hydrocarbon radical

addition 2-chloro-4-hydrazino-6-alkylamino-s-triazines have been described in the
literature'(119,1'?0), but they have not yet achieved practical use.
Substitution of ane of the hydrocarbon radicals at the noncyclic nitrogen atom in
diamirio-s-triaz:nes,by an alkoxyl group reduces the compound's stability and decrease~
its life, w,:ich may be af great practical interest in relation to some compounds f81).
In~~oduction of imine nitrogen into the hydrocarbon radical at the noncyclic nitrogen
atom of 2-chloro-, 2-methoxy- or 2-methylmercapto-4-alkylamino-6-alkylamino-s-triazines
produces herbicidal compounds (108). .

These groups of compounds also differ in physical properties. 2-Chloro-4,6-bis- .
-(alkylamino)-s-triazines are predominantly solid crystalline substances with high
melting points and.poorly soluble in water and in organic solvents, while 2-chloro-4,
-4,6-bis-(dialkylamino)-8-triazines have a low melting point and are soluble in many
organic solvents.
2-Chloro-4,6-bis-(alkylamino)-8-triazines are stable when stored at room temperature,
and they can be stored~~practically indefinitely without change. When heated with
water, especially in the presence of organic or inorganic bases, they hydrolyze to

But when the radicals in the amino groups are different, a two-stage process would
be suitable. In the first stage one of the amine molecules is made to react, forming
2,4-dichloro-6-alkylamino-8-triazines; one molecule of the secondary amine is then
attached to the latter. Both inorganic and organic bases or excess amine can be
used as the hydrogen chloride acceptor.
This reaction is at the basis of industrial acquisition of 2-chloro-4,6-bis-(alkyl-~
amino)-s-triazines (134-137). In this case if the target compound is symmetrical
2-chloro-4,6-bis-(alkylamino)-8-triazine, the reaction may be performed in a single
stage, using sodium nydroxide or some.other inorganic base, including ammonium, as
the hydrogen chloride acceptor (136). , ~

C~anurochloride may also be obtained by the action of phosphorus pentachloride on

When methylrhodanide is chlorinated, the cyanurochloride .yield is 85 percent, but
it is difficui~ to remove other chlorination products from the target compound.
Pure cyanurochloride is a white crystalline substance with a melting point of 146-147�~
146-147�C, it is practically insoluble in water, and it is.freely soluble in most
_ organic solvents. It is readily hydrolyzed by water, transforming into cyanuric .
- acid. Hydrolysis proceeds especially quickly at high temperature and in the presence
of bases. This must be considersd when using cyanurochloride to synthesize substi-
tuted triazines in an aqueous medium. In the presence of bases, cyanurochloride
reacts with many cor,pounds containing active hydrogen.
Gaseous cyanurochJ_~~.i.de formed out of cyanogen chloride upon trimerization in
- charcoal cataly~~t ~~ay be used to obtain symmetrical chlorotriazines; cyanuro-
- chloride is passt~', through an aqueaus solution of amine and sodium hydroxide (134).
The formed chloroaminotriazine is filtered, washed with water and dried. This
method can be used to obtain simazine (Figure 21) and propazin. Other triazines .
obtain~d by this method are low in quality because they contain a large quantity of
related compounds. This process can al~o be employed to obtain symmetrical fluoro-
triazines, using four moles of amine to every mole of cyanuroct~loride (134). In
this case the process is carried out without adding sodium hydroxide, and the amine
is regenerated iz~ the next stage. ~
Acquisition of asymmetrical triazines may be demonstrated with the example of '

These reactions are easily performed even in the same apparatus, since the second
reaction proceeds at a higher temperature than the first.
It has been sugqested that in some cases the reaction of abtaining asymmetrical
- chloroaminotriazine should be carried out in a mixture of water and an organic
solvent that is immiscible with water. In this case the 2,4-dichloro-6-alkylamino-
triazine formed in the first stage moves into the organic solvent, which reduces
- the possibility of its hydrolysis by water and its interaction with the second
amine molecule. Chlorobenzene, dichloroethane and a number of others have been
recommended as organic solvents. The reaction with the second araine as a rule
results in a product poorly soluble in organic solvents and readily filtered out.
A flowchart for acquisition of atrazine is shown in Figure 22.
It should be noted that owing to high persistence, production of symmetrical
- fluorothiaZines such as simazine and propazin is continually decreasing. These
compounds are being substituted by less-persistent preparations--primarily various
2-methylmercapto-4,6-bis-alkylamino-s-triazines as well as the corresponding azides.
The latter can be obtained either'by an exchange reaction between the appropriate
_ chloride derivatives and soelium azide (139)

The merit of this method is that it does not require acquisition of inethylmercaptan.
However, the process consists of many stages, and it requires the use of toxic .
dimethylsulfate and rather expensive thiourea.
A si.mpler method of obtaining 2-methylmercapto-4,6-bis-(alkylamino)-8-triazines is
to react 2-chloro-4,6-bis-(alkylamino)-s-triazines with a mixture of sodium sulfide

The reaction proceeds relatively easily in an aqueous solu~:ion at high temperature.
The resulting sodium salt of 2-mercapto-4,6-bis-(alkylamino)-s-triazine is easily
transformed, without separation, into 2-methylmercapto-4,6-bis-(alkyalmino)-s-triazine
in response to the action of dimethylsulfate. The yield of the sought triazine
- exceeds 90 percent of theoretical.
However, intermediate 2-mercapto-4,6-bis-(alkylamino)-s-triazine can also be obtained
by oxidation~with mineral acids; in this case the final 2-methylmercapto product is
completely free of initial chlorotriazine impuzities. This method requires simple
apparatus, and it provides a sufficiently pure 2-metYiylmercapto compound (148).
Moreover 2-methylmercapto-4,6-bis-(alkylamino)-s-triazine can also be obtained by
' the followinq pathway (144-147):

The process may be carried.out in both an aqueous medium and in a mixture of water
and an immiscible organic solvent; either alkali or organic bases can be used as
the hydrogen chloride acceptor. There are indications that the entire series o~
the transforniations described here may be carried out within a single reactor,
in which individual stages of the reaction are perfozmed in succession (146).
- As was noted earlier, 2-alkoxy-4,6-bis-(alkylamino)-s-triazines may be obtained by
the action of alkali metal alcoholates upon the appropriate chlorotriazines. The
reaction proceeds most readily in organic solvents at high temperature.
Most substituted s-triazines are sufficiently stable at room temperature, but when
heated to 240-250�C, they undergo dealkylation to form olefins (149). It has been
established that the principal pathways of inetabolic transformation of triazines
are: hydrolysis (in whieh halogen atoms and alkoxyl and methylmercapto qroups are
Y split off), dealkylation at the noncyclic nitrogen atom, and splitting of the
~riazine ring; these reactions proceed at different rates in dif�erent media. It
is believed that hydrolysis is catalyzed in plants resistant to chlorotriazines by
2,4-dioxy-7-~ethoxybenzo-l,4-oxazinone-3 (151,156).

~ ~ bf~ . ~ ~ ~ ~
The metabolism of prometryne is an example of this (see diagram on p 252).
In addition to the s-triazines described above, a large number of other compounds of
- this series with pesticidal properties have been synthesized, particularly 2-chloro-
-4-dialkylamino-6-dialkylthioamido-s-triazines, which have fungicidal properties
(157). ~
Among the hydr~ted derivatives of s-triazine, mention should be made of the deriva-
tives of tetrahydro-8-triazine (158,159) and 1-ary1-4,6-diisopropyl-3,5-dimethyl-
hexahydro-s-triazine (160), which have herbicidal properties, and a nu~nber of
- other derivatives of.hexahydro-8=triazine possessing insecticidal and fungicidal
properties (161), though they have not as yet achieved practical applications in
this direction. Various products of cyanuric acid that are easily obtained by
thermal cyclization of urea should be included among the derivatives of hexahydro-s-
- -triazine:
