Usage

Uses

Used in Agricultural Applications:
Methoxychlor is used as an insecticide in agricultural applications for controlling pests that damage crops. It is effective against a wide range of insects, including aphids, mites, and beetles.
Used in Household Pest Control:
Methoxychlor was commonly used in household pest control applications to eliminate insects such as cockroaches, ants, and flies. However, its use has been greatly restricted due to potential negative effects on human health and the environment.
Used in Specific Agricultural Purposes:
Despite its restrictions, methoxychlor is still used in some countries for specific agricultural purposes where alternative insecticides are not available or effective. It is used as a contact and stomach poison to control pests that can cause significant crop damage.

Aerobic Electrochemical Transformations of DDT to Oxygen-Incorporated Products Catalyzed by a B12 Derivative

Electrochemical transformations of DDT into oxygen-incorporated products, amides and esters, catalyzed by a B12 derivative, heptamethyl cobyrinate perchlorate, have been developed under aerobic conditions. The dechlorinative oxygenation of DDT forms the acyl chloride as an intermediate for the synthesis of the amide and ester in the reaction with the amine and alcohol, respectively. This electrochemical method demonstrated with 20 oxygen-incorporated dechlorinated products up to 88% yields with 15 new compounds and was also successfully applied to the conversion of methoxychlor to an amide and ester.

NOXIOUS ARTHROPOD CONTROL AGENT CONTAINING AMIDE COMPOUND

An object of the present invention is to provide a compound having the controlling activity on a noxious arthropod, and a noxious arthropod controlling agent containing an amide compound of formula (I): wherein X represents a nitrogen atom or a CH group, p represents 0 or 1, A represents a tetrahydrofuranyl group or the like, R1, R2, R3, R4, R5, R6 and R7 represent a hydrogen atom or the like, n represents 1 or 2, Y represents an oxygen atom or the like, m represents any integer of 0 to 7, and Q represents a C1-8 chain hydrocarbon group optionally having a phenyl group or the like, has the excellent noxious arthropod controlling effect.

New synthetic approach to phenylmethanesulfonamide derivatives on the basis of Phenyl-N-(2,2,2-trichloroethylidene)-methanesulfonamide

The reaction of N,N-dichlorophenylmethanesulfonamide with trichloroethylene gave a new representative of highly electrophilic N-sulfonyl-substituted polyhalogenated aldehyde imines, phenyl-N-(2,2,2-trichloroethylidene) methanesulfonamide. High reactivity of the product was demonstrated by alkylation of toluene, anisole, thiophene, and 2-chlorothiophene. Pleiades Publishing, Ltd., 2012.

Friedel-crafts hydroxyalkylation of anisole over oxalic acid modified Hβ zeolite

Oxalic acid modified Hβ (OA-Hβ) zeolite is found to have better catalytic performance than Hβ zeolite in the Friedel-Crafts hydroxyalkylation of anisole with chloral. This is attributed to the increase of weak and moderately-strong acid sites, caused by oxalic acid modification. Furthermore, it is believed that the carbonaceous deposits on the acid sites and the blockage of the pores, together with poisoning by chlorinated materials, are responsible for the deactivation of OA-Hβ zeolite, as indicated by NH3-TPD, BET, SEM, TG and XPS measurement results. Moreover, partial regeneration of OA-Hβ zeolite can be achieved via subsequent calcination.

Physical, chemical, and isotopic (atomic) labels

Chemical or isotopic labels are added to, e.g., a potentially lethal drug formulation, to generate a unique chemical fingerprint. Combinations of chemical additives are mixed with the drug to aid in their isolation and identification, especially when such drugs are used for illicit purposes. When stable isotopes are incorporated into lethal drugs, the labeling process conveys a very unique internal chemical signature and greatly aids in the identification of the parent drug in body fluids and tissues. When heath-care providers become aware that certain drugs can now be easily tracked and identified in a victim, individuals may be reluctant to utilize these agents for ill purposes.

Macrocyclic plant acaricides

Compounds of the formula I STR1 in which either R is methyl and there is a double bond in the 9,10-position, or in which R is hydrogen and there is a single bond in the 9,10-position, are highly active against Acarina which damage plants.
