organophosphorus insecticide | acephate, also known as high phosphorus, was discovered in 1972 by Dr. J.M. Grayson of the United States. It is a kind of high-efficiency and low-toxicity broad-spectrum organophosphorus insecticide, which can be absorbed and transported by plants and has gastric toxicity, contact killing, fumigation and egg killing effects. The stomach toxicity to lepidopteran pests is greater than the contact toxicity, and the contact killing speed to aphids and mites is slow. Generally, the contact toxicity is exerted after 2-3 days after application. The residual period is moderate, and the half-life in the soil is three days. Its mechanism of action is to inhibit cholinesterase in insects. Acephate can last for 10 to 15 days on the leaves, and has good control effect on the main pests of rice, wheat, cotton, corn, vegetables, beans, fruit trees, sugarcane, tobacco, pasture, tea and other crops. Mainly control rice planthopper, leafhopper, thrips, leaf roller, stem borer, cotton weevil, cotton bollworm, fruit tree baby heart worm, cabbage, diamondback moth, yulcetia, and various aphids, armyworms, etc. If mixed with pesticides such as carivine and dimethoate, it has a synergistic effect and can increase the duration. |
toxicity | acephate is low in toxicity to mammals such as humans and animals. the acute oral LD50 value of industrial products to rats is 886 mg/kg (female) ~ 945 mg/kg (male); The acute oral LD50 value for mice is 361 mg/kg. The minimum lethal dose for piglets and dogs is 681 mg/kg. Acute percutaneous LD50 for rabbits is greater than 2g/kg. Feeding dogs with feed containing 100mg/kg acephate for 2 years, except for a slight decrease in cholinesterase activity, no other obvious effects were found. Rats were fed with feed containing 30~100mg/kg acephate for two years, and no obvious pathological changes were found. No obvious pathological changes were found when rats and rabbits were fed for two years. There were no teratogenic and carcinogenic effects on rats and rabbits. Low toxicity to poultry and fish, acute oral LD50 to male wild ducks is 350 mg/kg; TLm(96 hours)>1g/L for rainbow trout, 2.05g/L for large fin scaly gill sunfish (96 hours), 1.72g/L for black bass (96 hours), 2.23g/L for spotted forktail and 6.65g/L for mosquito-eating fish; TLm(96 hours) of golden needle fish is 9.5g/L, blue gill fish is 2g/L. the acute oral LD50 of 99% industrial products to male rats is 945 mg/kg and that to female is 866 mg/kg. Acute percutaneous LD5050 in rabbits is 104mg/L(48h) and silver carp is 485mg/L(48h). The acute oral LD50 was 350mg/kg for male wild ducks and 852mg/kg for chicks. |
poisoning and first aid | symptoms of acephate poisoning: mild poisoning: headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, hyperhidrosis, weakness, chest tightness, blurred vision, poor appetite, etc. The activity of whole blood cholinesterase generally dropped below 70% of the normal value. Moderate poisoning: In addition to the above symptoms, there are also mild dyspnea, muscle tremor, miosis, trance, unstable walking, sweating, salivation, abdominal pain, diarrhea, etc. In severe cases, coma, convulsions, dyspnea, foaming at the mouth, incontinence, convulsions, respiratory paralysis, etc. Acute poisoning occurs within 12 hours, and those who take it by mistake can get sick immediately. First aid measures: If you accidentally inhale, the patient should be moved to the air circulation. If you accidentally touch the skin or splash into the eyes, rinse with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes. If you take it by mistake, you should immediately bring the drug label to the hospital for treatment. (1) use atropine 1~5 mg subcutaneous or intravenous injection (depending on the severity of poisoning). (2) intravenous injection of 0.4~1.2 grams of phosphonidin (depending on the severity of poisoning). (3) Morphine, theophylline, phenothiazine, reserpine are prohibited. (4) if you take acephate by mistake, you should immediately induce vomiting (only when you are awake), gastric lavage and catharsis. Reference material: Editor-in-Chief Kong Lingqiang.

It also has good treatment effect on rice leafhopper and rice thrips. 2. cotton pests: (1) control cotton aphid and red spider, use 40% emulsifiable concentrate 1.5L/hm2 and spray 800~1000kg of water. the control effect increases slowly within 2~3 days after application, and the control effect can reach more than 90% within 5 days after application. The effective control period is 7~10 days. (2) to prevent and control cotton elephant A and cotton bug, spray 800~1000kg of water with 40% acephate emulsifiable concentrate 0.75~1.5L/ hm2 at the initial stage of damage to the two insects. (3) to control cotton bollworm, 40% acephate emulsifiable concentrate 3~4L/hm2 was used during the incubation period of 2~3 generations of eggs, and 1000~1500kg of water was sprayed, with an effective control period of about 7 days. However, the control effect on cotton red bollworm is poor and should not be used. |

production method | the raw materials for producing acephate are methyl chloride, ammonia water, dichloroethane, acetic anhydride and dimethyl sulfate. It is obtained by reaction steps such as amination, acylation, and isomerization. 1. Amination Add methyl chloride and corresponding proportion of dichloroethane into the amination kettle from the high-level metering tank respectively, start stirring and freezing salt water. When the temperature in the kettle drops to 15 ℃, slowly add ammonia water into the kettle from the high-level ammonia metering tank. The temperature in the kettle is controlled at 35-40 ℃ for 35-40min. After dropping ammonia water, adjust the frozen salt water to reduce the temperature in the kettle to 20-23 ℃. Keep the temperature and stir for 30-35min, then add 6L of water, after stirring for 2-3min, stop stirring, pump the material into the amination separator and let it stand and layer, after 30min, put the organic phase into the receiving tank for metering, and the organic phase is the amine with solvent (O,O-dimethyl thiophosphoramide). 2. Acylation (1) Ethylene anhydride method Put the amine with solvent into the acylation kettle from the high-level measuring tank, start stirring, then add acetic anhydride into the acylation kettle from the high-level measuring tank of acetic anhydride, then open the frozen brine, when the temperature in the kettle drops to 10 ℃, slowly add concentrated sulfuric acid into the reaction kettle from the high-level measuring tank, after dropping sulfuric acid, open the air pressure, and discharge the frozen brine in the jacket, heat slowly with steam to raise the temperature in the kettle to 55-60 ℃ for 50min. After the reaction is completed, the temperature in the kettle is reduced to 10 ℃. Chlorine water is added from the ammonia water high-level tank to neutralize the acetic acid generated by the reaction to pH 7-8. During the neutralization process, the temperature should be controlled below 30 ℃. After neutralization, the material is pumped into the separator and left to stand for separation, the lower organic phase is separated into a crude acylate storage tank, and then pumped into a distillation kettle for decompression distillation and desolution (vacuum degree 86.7kPa,70 ℃, 15-20min) to obtain acylate (O,O-dimethyl-N-acetyl thiophosphoramide). (2) acetyl chloride method will be the amine with solvent from the high-level metering tank into the acylation kettle, open the stirring, from the acetyl chloride high-level metering tank to add acetyl chloride. Then slowly raise the temperature in the kettle to 50 ℃, keep the temperature to react for 2 hours, finish the reaction, reduce the temperature in the reaction kettle to 10 ℃, and then slowly add ammonia water from the ammonia water high-level metering tank to neutralize the acid generated by the reaction to pH 7. During the neutralization process, the temperature in the kettle should be controlled below 30 ℃. After neutralization, add appropriate amount of water. The ammonium salt generated in the neutralization process is dissolved, stirred for 2-3min, and the material is pumped to the separator and left to stand for separation. The lower organic phase is separated and pumped into a distillation kettle for decompression and desolution (vacuum degree 86.7kPa,70 ℃, 15-20min) to obtain acylate. Acylation reaction using acetic anhydride or acetyl chloride as acylating agent can achieve better results. 3. Isomerization Put the quantitative acylate into the isomerization kettle from the acylate high-level metering tank, start the stirring, then add the dimethyl sulfate into the isomerization kettle in proportion from the dimethyl sulfate high-level metering tank, slowly raise the temperature to 65-70 ℃, keep the temperature for 2 hours, and discharge the material to obtain acephate crude oil. For every 1t of 50% crude oil produced, the raw materials consumed are: methanol (98%)1953kg, phosphorus trichloride (98%)1660kg, caustic soda (30%)3220kg, dimethyl sulfate (98%)120kg, ammonia water (18%)2450kg, sulfur (98%)315kg, acetic acid (98%)295kg, amine (40%)1700kg, acetic anhydride (69%)490kg, ammonium sulfide (industrial product) 2200kg, dichloroethane (98%)250kg. First isomerization and then acylation First, O,O-dimethylthiophosphonamide is heated and isomerized in the presence of a small amount of dimethyl sulfate to generate O,S-dimethylthiophosphonamide, and then interact with acetic anhydride or acetyl chloride to generate acephate. First acylation and then isomerization First, O,O-dimethylthiophosphonamide is reacted with acylating agents in dichloroethane or benzene solvent. Commonly used acylating agents are glacial acetic acid zinc trichloride, acetic anhydride, Acetyl chloride, ketene, etc. The acylation reaction yields O,O-dimethyl-N-acetylthiophosphonamide, which is then heated isomerized to acephate in the presence of a small amount of dimethyl sulfate. Using a new type of catalyst and a special crystallization solvent, a high-purity original drug can be prepared. The process is: add 200g of methamidophos crude oil to the reaction bottle, start stirring and heating to the reaction temperature, under the action of the catalyst, dropwise addition Acylating agent acetic anhydride, control the reaction temperature, and perform the heat preservation reaction for several hours after the dropwise addition, that is, acephate crude crude crude oil is obtained; then the organic phase and the water phase are separated by neutralization and extraction, the organic phase is purified to obtain acephate refined crude oil; adding solvent A and crystal additives, slowly stirring, cooling, crystallization, filtration, and rinsing to obtain the finished product. After the treatment of the obtained mother liquor, qualified finished products can be recovered, with a total product yield of more than 78% and a content of more than 98.0%. |
