Chemical Properties
Mephosfolan is a yellow to amber liquid
General Description
Yellow to amber liquid. Works as an insecticide and acaricide. Not registered as a pesticide in the U.S.
Reactivity Profile
When heated to decomposition, MEPHOSFOLAN emits very toxic fumes of nitrogen oxides, phosphorus oxides and sulfur oxides. Stable at neutral pH. Hydrolyzed by acid or alkali. [EPA, 1998]. Organophosphates, such as MEPHOSFOLAN, 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.
Health Hazard
MEPHOSFOLAN is highly toxic if swallowed or absorbed through the skin.
Fire Hazard
When heated to decomposition, MEPHOSFOLAN emits very toxic fumes of nitrogen oxides, phosphorus oxides and sulfur oxides. Stable at neutral pH. Hydrolyzed by acid or alkali.
Safety Profile
Poison by ingestion and
skin contact. When heated to decomposition it emits very toxic fumes of NOx, POx, and
sox.
Potential Exposure
A potential danger to those involved
in the production, formulation, and application of this
insecticide and acaricide. Not currently registered for use in
the US

Incompatibilities
Incompatible with oxidizers (chlorates,
nitrates, peroxides, permanganates, perchlorates, chlorine,
bromine, fluorine, etc.); contact may cause fires or explosions. Keep away from alkaline materials, strong bases,
strong acids, oxoacids, epoxides. Similar organic amides
react with azo and diazo compounds, releasing toxic gases.
Contact with reducing agents can release flammable gases.
Amides are very weak bases but they can react as acids,
forming salts. Mixing amides with dehydrating agents
such as such as phosphorus pentoxide or thionyl chloride
generates the corresponding nitrile.
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 950-10-7 includes 6 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 3 digits, 9,5 and 0 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 1 and 0 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 950-10:
(5*9)+(4*5)+(3*0)+(2*1)+(1*0)=67
67 % 10 = 7
So 950-10-7 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
