Dimethyl-n-tetradecylphosphinsulfid, also known as dimethyl tetradecyl phosphorothioate, is an organophosphorus compound with the chemical formula C16H35O2PS. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a faint, characteristic odor. Dimethyl-n-tetradecylphosphinsulfid is primarily used as a pesticide, specifically as an insecticide and acaricide, targeting a wide range of pests including insects and mites. It works by inhibiting the activity of acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme crucial for the proper functioning of the nervous system in insects. This inhibition leads to the accumulation of acetylcholine, causing overstimulation and ultimately the death of the target pests. Dimethyl-n-tetradecylphosphinsulfid is known for its effectiveness in controlling pests in agriculture and horticulture, but it must be used with caution due to its potential toxicity to humans and the environment.
The CAS Registry Mumber 6591-10-2 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 6,5,9 and 1 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 1 and 0 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 6591-10: (6*6)+(5*5)+(4*9)+(3*1)+(2*1)+(1*0)=102 102 % 10 = 2 So 6591-10-2 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
