1,1-Dimethylpiperidinium - Introduction
Mepiquat(Mepiquat) is a commonly used antagonist, mainly for plant growth regulation. The following is a detailed introduction about Mepiquat:
Nature:
-Chemical Name: Methyl (1,1-dimethyl-2-phenylalkyl) amine
-Molecular formula: C7H17N
-Molecular weight: 115.22g/mol
-Appearance: White to light yellow crystalline or crystalline powder
- Mepiquat is a colorless to pale yellow liquid, almost insoluble in water at room temperature, soluble in alcohol and fat.
Use:
-Plant growth regulator: Mepiquat, as an auxiliary plant growth hormone, can control the growth of plants by inhibiting the apical cell division of plants and promoting the development of lateral branches. Commonly used in cotton, wheat, rice and other crops to increase yield and improve plant structure.
Method:
The preparation method of Mepiquat is more complicated and generally includes the following steps:
1. Through the reaction of hydrogen ketone and styrene, brown-red crystals are generated, which is the precursor of Mepiquat.
2. The precursor is reacted with hydrochloric acid to generate Mepiquat hydrochloride.
3. Finally, pure Mepiquat is obtained through the steps of treatment and purification.
Safety Information:
- Mepiquat is less harmful to the human body and the environment under normal use, but the following precautions still need to be followed:
1. Do not touch Mepiquat pure powder or solution, avoid direct contact with skin, eyes and respiratory tract.
2. Use Mepiquat should wear gloves, goggles and protective masks and other protective equipment.
3. Try to avoid inhaling dust during use and ensure good ventilation.
4. Storage period of Mepiquat should be away from children, and avoid contact with food, drink and feed.
5. In the course of use, such as discomfort or misuse, should immediately seek medical attention and bring the product container or label.
