Binapacryl
Binapacryl is an organic compound that was widely used as a pesticide and acaricide. It is a member of the dinitrophenol family of chemicals, which are known for their ability to uncouple oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria, leading to increased metabolic rate and energy expenditure.
Chemical Properties
Binapacryl, also known by its chemical name 2-(1-Methylpropyl)-4,6-dinitrophenyl 3-methylbutanoate, has the molecular formula C17H22N2O5. It is a yellow crystalline solid with a characteristic odor. The compound is relatively insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as acetone and ethanol.
Usage
Binapacryl was primarily used in agriculture to control a variety of pests, including mites and insects. It was applied to crops such as fruit trees, vegetables, and ornamental plants. The compound was valued for its effectiveness in pest control and its ability to act as both a contact and systemic pesticide.
Health and Environmental Impact
Due to its toxicological properties, binapacryl poses significant risks to human health and the environment. Exposure to binapacryl can lead to symptoms such as headache, nausea, dizziness, and in severe cases, respiratory failure. The compound is also highly toxic to aquatic life and can cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment.
Regulation and Ban
Due to its hazardous nature, binapacryl has been banned or restricted in many countries. It is listed under the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants, which aims to eliminate or restrict the production and use of persistent organic pollutants.
