Definition
ChEBI: An organic thiophosphate that is O,O-dimethyl O-pyrimidin-4-yl phosphorothioate substituted by a methyl group at position 6 and a diethylamino group at position 2.
General Description
Yellow liquid. Corrosive to tin and mild steel. Used as an insecticide.
Reactivity Profile
Organophosphates 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.
Flammability and Explosibility
Notclassified
Agricultural Uses
Insecticide, Acaricide: Pirimiphos-methyl is a post-harvest insecticide used to control a variety of insects in stored grain products and seed such as corn, rice, wheat and sorghum. It is also incorporated into cattle ear tags, and used for the fogging treatment of iris bulbs and pre-harvest clean up of fruits and vegetables.

Safety Profile
Moderately toxic by
ingestion. Mutation data reported. When
heated to decomposition it emits very toxic
fumes of NOx, POx, and SOx.
Potential Exposure
Pirimiphos-methyl is a post -harves organophosphate insecticide/acaricide used to control a variety of insects in stored grain products and seed such as corn, rice, wheat and sorghum. It is also incorporated into cattle ear tags, and used for the fogging treatment of iris bulbs and preharvest cleanup of fruits and vegetables.
Carcinogenicity
When rats were given diets with
0, 10, 50, or 300 ppm pirimiphos methyl (equivalent to 0, 0.4,
2.1, or 12.6 mg/kg/day) for 2 years, 4 of the 42 high-dose
male rats had pancreatic islet cell adenomas and 1 had a
carcinoma compared to none in control male rats .
In a carcinogenicity study, mice were given diets with 0,
50, 200, or 400/300 ppm pirimiphos methyl (equivalent to 0,
8.3, 33, or 52 mg/kg/day (males); 0, 9.7, 39, or 61 mg/kg/day (females)) for 78 weeks . The initial 400 ppm dose
resulted in excessive toxicity and moribundity and was
reduced to 300 ppm after 8 days. There was no evidence
of carcinogenicity. In another mouse carcinogenicity study,
pirimiphos methyl was administered in the diet at levels of 0,
5, 250, or 500 ppm (equivalent to 0, 0.5, 25.9, or 45.0 mg/kg/
day (males) and 0, 0.6, 27.6, or 50.6 mg/kg/day (females),
respectively) for 80 weeks. The test diet for the highest dose
groups initially contained 300 ppm of the test compound (the
duration of treatment was not specified). The dose was then
increased weekly by 50 ppm to 500 ppm. No evidence of
carcinogenicity was observed.
Metabolic pathway
The metabolism of pirimiphos-methyl is similar in soils, plants and animals
and can be represented by initial hydrolysis to yield 2-diethylamino-
6-methyl-p yrimidin-4-0l which may be either conjugated or successively
N-de-ethylated. In plants, pirimiphos-methyl itself is N-de-ethylated. It is
probable that the oxon form of the compound is formed in many systems
but it is more labile than the parent compound and is often not detected.
0-Dealkylation, as with most organophosphates, is most probably a
major detoxification route in mammals but the evidence for it in the
case of pirimiphos-methyl is poor.
Degradation
Pirimiphos-methyl is hydrolysed under both acidic and basic conditions
and is most stable at pH 7 (PM). The main product of hydrolysis was the
pyrimidinol (2). There is no information, however, on the degradation
products formed under either acidic or basic conditions. The DT50 of
degradation was in the range of 3-4 days in sterile deionised water in the
dark. Photolysis was rapid but the products of photolytic breakdown
were not described (PSD, 1997).
Incompatibilities
May react violently with antimony(V) pentafluoride. Incompatible with strong acids and alkalies, lead diacetate, magnesium, silver nitrate. In the presence of strong reducing agents such as hydrides, organophosphates form highly toxic and flammable phosphine gas. Contact with oxidizers can cause the release of toxic oxides of phosphorus.
Waste Disposal
Destruction by alkali hydrolysis or incineration. Containers must be disposed of properly by following package label directions or by contacting your local or federal environmental control agency, or by contacting your regional EPA office.
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 29232-93-7 includes 8 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 5 digits, 2,9,2,3 and 2 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 9 and 3 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 29232-93:
(7*2)+(6*9)+(5*2)+(4*3)+(3*2)+(2*9)+(1*3)=117
117 % 10 = 7
So 29232-93-7 is a valid CAS Registry Number.

The invention provides a green synthesis method of pirimiphos-methyl. The method comprises the following steps: reacting 2-diethylamino-6-methyl-4-hydroxy pyrimidine with a potassium carbonate water solution in an organic solvent, carrying out reduced pressure dehydration in the reaction process to generate a pyrimidinol potassium salt, cooling after the reaction is completed, dropwisely adding methyl chloride to carry out condensation reaction, filtering, and concentrating under reduced pressure to obtain the pirimiphos-methyl crude oil. The pirimiphos-methyl synthesized by the method disclosed by the invention is low in harmful content of impurities, easy in process condition control and low in three-waste amount, conforms to the concept of green and environment-friendly production, andis suitable for large-scale production.
