2778-04-3 Usage
Uses
Used in Agriculture:
Endothion is used as an insecticide for controlling various pests that damage crops. Its application helps protect plants from insect infestations, ensuring a healthy and productive agricultural yield.
Used in Insect Control:
Endothion is used as an insecticide for general insect control purposes, targeting a wide range of insects that can cause harm to the environment or human health. Its effectiveness in eliminating insects makes it a valuable tool in pest management.
Chemical Properties:
Endothion is a white crystalline solid with a slight odor. It is very soluble in water, which aids in its application as an insecticide, and is also soluble in chloroform and ethanol.
Reactivity Profile
Organothiophosphates, such as endothion, are susceptible to formation of highly toxic and flammable phosphine gas in the presence of strong reducing agents such as hydrides. Partial oxidation by oxidizing agents may result in the release of toxic phosphorus oxides.
Hazard
Toxic by ingestion, cholinesterase
inhibitor; use may be restricted.
Health Hazard
endothion is poisonous to humans. Its toxic effects are most likely related to action on the nervous system.
Fire Hazard
(Non-Specific -- Organophosphorus Pesticide, n.o.s.) Cylinder may explode in heat or fire. Fire and runoff from fire control water may produce irritating or poisonous gases. When heated to decomposition, endothion emits very toxic fumes of phosphorous oxides and sulfur oxides.
Potential Exposure
This material is a systemic insecticide.
It is not sold in the United States or Canada

UN2783 Organophosphorus pesticides, solid,
toxic, Hazard Class: 6.1; Labels: 6.1-Poisonous materials.
UN3018 Organophosphorus pesticides, liquid, toxic,
Hazard Class: 6.1; Labels: 6.1-Poisonous materials
Incompatibilities
Contact with oxidizers may cause the
release of phosphorous oxides. Contact with strong reducing agents, such as hydrides; may cause the formation of
flammable and toxic phosphine gas.
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 2778-04-3 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 2,7,7 and 8 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 0 and 4 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 2778-04:
(6*2)+(5*7)+(4*7)+(3*8)+(2*0)+(1*4)=103
103 % 10 = 3
So 2778-04-3 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
