General Description

(4-acetylphenyl)arsonic acid is a chemical compound with the formula C8H9AsO4, which consists of an arsonic acid group attached to a phenyl ring with an acetyl group. It is a derivative of arsenic acid and is used as a herbicide and pesticide. It is a highly toxic compound that acts as an inhibitor of the enzyme acetohydroxyacid synthase in plants, leading to their growth inhibition and ultimately death. Due to its toxicity, it is highly regulated and its use is restricted in many countries. Exposure to (4-acetylphenyl)arsonic acid can cause serious health effects, including skin and eye irritation, respiratory issues, and damage to the nervous system. Therefore, it is important to handle this compound with caution and in accordance with safety guidelines.
