Storage method

Storage Precautions^[22] Store in a cool, ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat sources. The packaging is sealed. They should be stored separately from oxidants and alkalis, and avoid mixed storage. Equipped with the appropriate variety and quantity of fire equipment. Suitable materials should be available in the storage area to contain spills.

Synthesis method

1. Methanol and trichloroacetaldehyde are mixed to form hemiacetal. Then, at low temperature, phosphorus trichloride reacts with methanol to obtain dimethyl phosphite. At a higher temperature, trichloroacetaldehyde reacts with dimethyl phosphite. Dimethyl phosphate undergoes a condensation reaction to form trichlorfon.

2. First, methanol and trichloroacetaldehyde are mixed to form hemiacetal (and containing a small amount of acetal). Then at a lower temperature, phosphorus trichloride reacts with methanol to generate dimethyl phosphite (free methanol or hemiacetal and methanol in acetal can easily react with phosphorus trichloride), and HCl and CH3Cl are eliminated in time. Finally, at higher temperatures, a condensation reaction occurs between trichloroacetaldehyde and dimethyl phosphite to form trichlorfon. In continuous operation, the methanol and trichloroacetaldehyde are controlled to be slightly larger than the theoretical amount. The mass ratio is phosphorus trichloride: methanol: trichloroacetaldehyde = 1: (0.73~0.78): (1.12~1.18); the esterification temperature is 40 ~50℃, residence time 10min; the liquid phase temperature of the deacidification liquid is 80℃, the condensation temperature is 90~95℃, the residence time is 40~50min; the temperature of the deacidification liquid is first 95~105℃, and then <120℃. Trichlorfon production can also be carried out by one-step synthesis and in stages. That is, feeding once, dimethyl phosphite is generated at low temperature, and trichlorfon is directly generated at high temperature without separation. In the esterification stage, trichloroacetaldehyde and methanol are mixed, the temperature does not exceed 50°C, cooled to below 5°C, phosphorus trichloride is added, and hydrogen chloride and methyl chloride are discharged for recycling. In the condensation stage, after the esterification liquid further removes hydrogen chloride through the spinner, it enters the reaction tank at a temperature of 80 to 120°C to generate trichlorfon.

Purpose

1. Used as pesticide. It is suitable for the prevention and control of chewing mouthpart pests on rice, wheat, vegetables, tea trees, fruit trees, mulberry trees, cotton and other crops, as well as livestock parasites and sanitary pests.

2. An organophosphorus pesticide. It is a highly efficient, low-toxic, low-residue, broad-spectrum insecticide. It is mainly gastrotoxic, has both contact and penetrating activity. It has a wide range of applications in agriculture and is used to control various pests such as cabbage caterpillars, cotton leaf springtails, wild mulberry silkworms, mulberry vines, weevils, fruit leaf wasps, fruit flies and other pests. Refined trichlorfon can be used to control internal and external parasites in pigs, cattle, horses, and mules, and is effective against household and environmental health pests. It can be used to treat schistosomiasis and is a good multi-effect anthelmintic in animal husbandry. Trichlorfon has contact and stomach poisoning effects and penetrating activity. The raw powder can be processed into powders, wettable powders, soluble powders and emulsions and other dosage forms. It can also be directly prepared into aqueous solutions or made into poisonous baits for the prevention and treatment of chewing mouthparts and piercing mouthparts in agriculture, forestry and horticulture. Pests, underground pests, etc.

3. Used as pesticide. ^[23]
