115-29-7 Usage

Description

Endosulfan (70) [115-29-7], 6,7,8,9,10,10- hexachloro-1,5,5a,6,9,9a-hexahydro-6,9-methano-2,4,3,- benzo-dioxathiepine 3-oxide (IUPAC) [The technical product is a mixture of two isomers: α-endosulfan: 3α,5αβ,6α, 9α,9αβ (64–67%) (70a) and β-endosulfan 3α,5aα,6β,9β, 9aα, (29–32%) (70b)]; [959-98-8] (formerly [33213-66- 0]) (β-endosulfan);[33213-65-9] (formerly [891-86-1] and [19670-15-6]) (β-endosulfan) is the adduct of hexachlorocyclopentadiene and 1,4-dihydroxy-2-butene reacted further with SOCl2 to produce 6,7,8,9,10,10-hexachloro- 1,5,5a,6,9,9a-hexahydro-6,9-methano-2,4,3-benzodioxa thiepin-3-oxide. The technical product is a brownish solid, mp 70–100 ?C, vapor pressure 1.3 mPa at 25 ?C, soluble in petroleum solvents but having low solubility in water. It consists of about four parts of α-isomer (mp 108 ?C, cis with regard to the sulfite group) and one part of the β-isomer (mp 206 ?C, trans with regard to the sulfite group). The α-isomer, which is somewhat more insecticidal, is slowly converted to the more stable β-isomer at high temperature, and both isomers are oxidized slowly to endosulfan sulfate [1031-07-8] (mp 181 ?C). In acid media, both isomers form endosulfan diol [2157-19-9] (mp 203 ?C).

Chemical Properties

Different sources of media describe the Chemical Properties of 115-29-7 differently. You can refer to the following data:
1. (commercial product): Brown crystals. Mixture of two isomers.
2. Endosulfan is a pesticide. It is a creamto brown-colored solid that may appear in the form of crystals or fl akes. It has a smell like turpentine, but does not burn. It does not occur naturally in the environment. Endosulfan is used to control insects on food and non-food crops and also as a wood preservative. Endosulfan is used for the control of ticks and mites, and the control of rice stem borers. It is an RUP, meaning it can only be used by professional applicators. Endosulfan, commonly known by its trade name Thiodan, is an insecticide and was fi rst introduced in the 1950s. Endosulfan enters the air, water, and soil during its manufacture and use. It is often sprayed onto crops and the spray may travel long distances before it lands on crops, soil, or water. On crops, endosulfan usually breaks down in a few weeks, but it sticks to soil particles and may take years to completely break down. Endosulfan does not dissolve easily in water. In surface water, endosulfan attaches to soil particles fl oating in water or attaches to soil at the bottom. It can build up in the bodies of animals that live in endosulfan- contaminated water. It is also extremely toxic to fi sh and other aquatic life. Exposures to endosulfan occur among workers and people working in industries involved in making endosulfan or as pesticide applicators and by skin contact with soil containing endosulfan.
3. Endosulfan is a chlorinated cyclodiene insecticide. The pure product is a colorless crystalline solid. The technical product is a light to dark brown waxy solid. It has a rotten egg or sulfur odor.

Uses

Different sources of media describe the Uses of 115-29-7 differently. You can refer to the following data:
1. Insecticide.
2. Endosulfan is used for the control of sucking, chewing, boring insects and mites on a wide variety of crops. It also controls tsetse flies.

Definition

ChEBI: A cyclic sulfite ester that is 1,5,5a,6,9,9a-hexahydro-6,9-methano-2,4,3-benzodioxathiepine 3-oxide substituted by chloro groups at positions 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 10.

General Description

Endosulfan is a pesticide. It is a cream- to brown-coloured solid that may appear in the form of crystals or flakes. It has a smell like turpentine, but does not burn. It does not occur naturally in the environment. It is a restricted use pesticide, meaning that it can only be used by professional applicators.

Air & Water Reactions

Sightly soluble in water. Slowly hydrolyzes to form sulfur dioxide and a diol; hydrolyzes more rapidly under basic or acidic conditions.

Reactivity Profile

Thiosulfan is an organochlorine, cyclodiene derivative. Thiosulfan is also a sulfite ester. Halogenated aliphatic or cyclic alkane compounds are moderately or very reactive. Reactivity generally decreases with increased degree of substitution of halogen for hydrogen atoms. As Thiosulfan is rather highly substituted Thiosulfan may be resistant to reaction. However, materials in this group are incompatible with strong oxidizing and reducing agents. Also, they may be incompatible with many amines, nitrides, azo/diazo compounds, alkali metals, and epoxides. As an ester, Thiosulfan will hydrolyze to form sulfur dioxide and diol; reaction is more rapid under basic conditions.

Hazard

Toxic by ingestion, inhalation, and skin absorption; use may be restricted. Lower respiratory tract irritant; liver and kidney damage. Questionable carcinogen.

Health Hazard

Different sources of media describe the Health Hazard of 115-29-7 differently. You can refer to the following data:
1. Thiosulfan is very toxic. The probable oral lethal dose is 50 to 500 mg/kg, or 1 teaspoonful to 1 ounce for a 150 lb. person.
2. Endosulfan is readily absorbed by the stomach, the lungs, and through the skin, meaning that all routes of exposure can pose a hazard. Exposures to endosulfan cause adverse health effects and poisoning. The symptoms of toxicity include, but are not limited to, hyperactivity, nausea, dizziness, headache, irritability, restlessness, muscular twitching, and convulsions have been observed in adults exposed to high doses. Severe exposures cause poisoning, disturbances of the CNS, and may result in death. Laboratory studies in experimental animals indicated that long-term exposure to endosulfan can also damage the kidneys, testes, and liver and may possibly affect the body’s ability to fi ght infection. More studies are needed to confi rm similar situations in humans. Reports have indicated that the most prominent signs of acute exposure are hyperactivity, tremors, decreased respiration, diffi culty in breathing, salivation, and convulsions. Long-term neurotoxic effects have been observed after high acute exposure. The National Poison Control Information Center of the Philippines recorded 278 poisonings, including 85 deaths due to endosulfan in 1990. In Colombia, in 1993, at least 60 people were poisoned and one person died as a result of exposure to thiodan.
3. Highly toxic; exhibits acute, delayed,and chronic toxicity; symptoms includenausea, vomiting, weakness, somnolence,excitement, and muscle contraction; causesdermatitis and irritation on skin contact; astimulant to central nervous system, producing convulsions; can cause adverse reproductive effects; no evidence of carcinogenicityin rats and mice; oral LD50 value (mice):~7.5 mg/kg; exposure limit: PEL/TLV-TWA(skin) 0.1 mg/m3 (OSHA:ACGIH); RCRAWaste Number P050; US EPA listedextremely hazardous substance.Oktay et al. (2003) have reported a case ofendosulfan poisoning associated with neurological symptoms in two patients after eatingcontaminated food in Turkey.

Fire Hazard

Container may explode in heat of fire. Fire or run off from fire control water may release irritating or poisonous gases. Slowly oxidizes in air. Do not store at temperature below 20F.

Agricultural Uses

Insecticide, Acaricide: A U.S. EPA restricted Use Pesticide (RUP). Not approved for use in EU countries. Globally banned as of April 29, 2010. Endosulfan was added to the list of Stockholm Convention Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs): Annex A (Elimination). Endosulfan is a chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticide and acaricide of the cyclodiene subgroup which acts as a poison to a wide variety of insects and mites on contact. Although it may also be used as a wood preservative, it is used primarily on a wide variety of food crops including tea, coffee, fruits, and vegetables, as well as on rice, cereals, maize, sorghum, or other grains. Formulations of endosulfan include emsulsifiable concentrate, wettable powder, ultra-low volume (ULV) liquid, and smoke tablets. It is compatible with many other pesticides and may be found in formulations with dimethoate, malathion, methomyl, monocrotophos, pirimicarb, triazophos, fenoprop, parathion, petroleum oils, and oxine-copper. It is not compatible with alkaline materials. Technical endosulfan is made up of a mixture of two molecular forms (isomers) of endosulfan, the alpha-and beta-isomers.

Pharmacology

The rat LD50 values are 43, 18 mg/kg (oral) and 130, 74 mg/kg (dermal). The α-isomer has somewhat greater insecticidal activity and is slowly converted to the more stable β-isomer at a high temperature. Both isomers oxidize slowly in air and in biological systems to endosulfan sulfate [1031-07-8], mp 181–182 ?C. In acid media, both isomers form endosulfan diol [2157-19-9], mp 203–205 ?C. Endosulfan is a broad-spectrum insecticide used to control pests of vegetables, fruit, field crops, and ornamentals. Unlike other cyclodiene insecticides, it is biodegradable by hydrolysis at the sulfite ester bonds and is more readily metabolized. It is also less persistent on plant surfaces, and 50% of the residues are lost in 3–7 days. Volatilization may be the major route of loss. Endosulfan is readily hydrolyzed in water to the diol (74), but it is moderately persistent in soil. Endosulfan (α- and β-endosulfan) is degraded in soil with DT50 30 to 70 days. The major metabolite is usually endosulfan sulfate (71), which is degraded more slowly. In the field DT50 for total endosulfan (α- and β-endosulfan and endosulfan sulfate) is 5 to 8 months.

Safety Profile

Poison by ingestion, inhalation, skin contact, intraperitoneal, and subcutaneous routes. Experimental teratogenic and reproductive effects. Questionable carcinogen with experimental tumorigenic and neoplastigenic data. Human systemic effects: convulsions, cyanosis. Human mutation data reported. A central nervous system stimulant producing convulsions. A htghly toxic organochlorine pesticide that does not accumulate significantly in human tissue. Absorption is normally slow, but is increased by alcohols, oil, and emulsifiers. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of Cl and SOx. See also CHLORIDES and SULFITES

Potential Exposure

Those engaged in the manufacture, formulation, and application of this material

Carcinogenicity

Equivocal results have been found in genotoxic assays, but endosulfan was mutagenic and clastogenic and induced effects on cell cycle kinetics in various in vivo and in vitro tests. In reproductive studies, male rats treated at 3.0 mg/kg from day 15 to 21 of gestation had reduced sperm production in adulthood. The 2003 ACGIH threshold limit value-time-weighted average (TLV-TWA) is 0.1mg/m3 with a notation for skin absorption.

Metabolic pathway

When endosulfan is incubated with microorganisms, endosulfan is extensively degraded in nitrogen- deficient, carbon-deficient, and nitrogen-rich cultures of Phanerochaete chrysosporium and is primarily oxidized to endosulfan sulfate, which is a terminal end product, or hydrolyzed to the non-sulfur-containing metabolites. An initial hydrolysis of endosulfan results in the formation of the intermediate metabolite or endosulfan diol, which further undergoes oxidation to yield endosulfan hydroxyether followed by the formation of endosulfan lactone or tentatively identified endosulfan dialdehyde.

Metabolism

Endosulfan is metabolized rapidly inmammalian organisms to less toxic metabolites and to polar conjugates. The sulfate is also a majormetabolite in plants and occurs as a metabolite in some mammals. Endosulfan is quite toxic to water organisms, and residues were found in runoff water, sediment, infiltration water, and soil following a single application. Rats dosed orally or intraperitoneally with endosulfan (4–8 mg/Kg) excreted unchanged endosulfan, the hydroxy ether (72), the lactone (73), and unidentified metabolites in urine in the ratio 3 : 1 : 1 : 2. The diol, the hydroxy ether, and the lactone were identified in most samples of urine and feces. The metabolite most frequently recovered from tissues, organs, and feces was endosulfan sulfate . Transient amounts of endosulfanand endosulfan sulfate were detected in the body fat and liver of mice after they were dosed with 14C labeled endosulfan. The mice excreted endosulfan metabolites. Cows fed 2.5–5 ppm endosulfan for 30 days excreted 0.1–0.2 ppm endosulfan sulfate in milk. After a single dose of 14 mg/kg of 14C endosulfan, sheep excreted 0.25 ppm in milk in the 6–24-h period following ingestion (102). Residues fell to 0.04 ppm and 0.01 ppm after 3 and 11 days, respectively. The main metabolites in urine were the diol and the hydroxy ether. Endosulfan sulfate, the ether, the hydroxy ether, the lactone, and one unidentified metabolite were detected on the surface when male migratory locusts (Pachytilus migratoides) were exposed to endosulfan by oral, cutaneous, or subcutaneous administration. Similarmetabolic pathways were observed in the housefly and the cockroach. Six to seven days after the last dose, neither endosulfan nor its metabolites could be detected in locusts (103). Endosulfan is very toxic to fish and caused many fish deaths when the Rhine River became contaminated in June 1969 (concentration was 0.1 ppm). The only residues detected in fish exposed to acute and multiple subchronic concentrations of endosulfan were endosulfan and the diol and the glucuronic acid conjugate of the diol.

Toxicity evaluation

Endosulfan was not carcinogenic in the rat or mouse in chronic dietary studies. It was not genotoxic in a variety of tests. Kidney toxicity was observed in the rat at dietary levels of 100 ppm (5 mg/kg/day) and above. Clinical signs of hyperactivity and tremors were reported in many studies. No evidence was found of developmental or reproductive toxicity.

Degradation

Endosulfan is slowly hydrolysed in aqueous acids and alkalies with the formation of the diol(2) and sulfur dioxide. Endosulfan is stable to sunlight but UV irradiation in solution gave a number of products, the identity of which depended on the medium in which photolysis took place (see Scheme 1) (Schumaker ef al., 1973). The photolytic processes include reductive dechlorination and when the α-isomer was irradiated in n-hexane, dechlorination took place at the double bond to give 10, whereas in water-dioxane, it occurred at the methylene bridge with the formation of 9. The products formed in the vapour phase included the diol(2), the ether (4), the lactone (6), the cyclic sulfate (3), and other products characterised as dechlorinated compounds (7 and 8). The β-isomer of endosulfan gave compounds 11 and 12 in dioxane and 11 in n-hexane-acetone.
