Organothiophosphates are susceptible to formation of highly toxic and flammable phosphine gas in the presence of strong reducing agents such as hydrideds and active metals. Partial oxidation by oxidizing agents may result in the release of toxic phosphorus oxides. Compounds of the carboxyl group react with all bases, both inorganic and organic (i.e., amines) releasing substantial heat, water and a salt that may be harmful. Incompatible with arsenic compounds (releases hydrogen cyanide gas), diazo compounds, dithiocarbamates, isocyanates, mercaptans, nitrides, and sulfides (releasing heat, toxic and possibly flammable gases), thiosulfates and dithionites (releasing hydrogen sulfate and oxides of sulfur). Not compatible with other pesticides under alkaline conditions. Contact with water, steam or moisture forms phthalic acids. Slightly corrosive to metals in the presence of moisture. | [Description]
Phosmet is an organophosphate insecticide and acaricide.1,2,3 It reduces apple damage by a large variety of insects, including apple maggots, codling moths, and obliquebanded leafrollers when used as either a border or cover spray at a concentration of 1.9 kg AI/hectare.2 Phosmet is effective in controlling S. scabiei in pigs when applied as a 20% pour-on solution.3 It is toxic to rats via oral administration (LC50 = 230 mg/kg).4 Formulations containing phosmet have been used in the control of insects and mites in agriculture. | [Waste Disposal]

Phosmet is used as a pesticide to protect crops and vegetation. Insecticide. | [Uses]
Phosmet is used to control a wide range of insects and mites in
fruit, potatoes, sweet potatoes, vines, cotton and many other crops. It is
also used as a veterinary ectoparasiticide. | [Definition]
ChEBI: Phosmet is an organic thiophosphate, an organothiophosphate insecticide and a member of phthalimides. It has a role as an EC 3.1.1.7 (acetylcholinesterase) inhibitor, an acaricide and an agrochemical. It is functionally related to a N-(hydroxymethyl)phthalimide. | [Agricultural Uses]
Insecticide, Acaricide: Phosmet is a non-systemic insecticide used on both
plants and animals. It is mainly used on apple trees for
control of coddling moth, though it is also used on a wide
range of crops including alfalfa, nuts, grapes, blueberries,
peas, potatoes, fruit crops, ornamentals, and vines for the
control of aphids, suckers, mites, fire ants and fruit flies.
The compound is also an active ingredient in some dog
collars. It is used as an insecticide on swine and cattle.

No treatment-related increases
in tumor incidence occurred in rats given a diet with 0, 20, 40,200, or 400 ppm (400 ppm terminated at 12 months) (equivalent
to 0, 1.1, 1.8, 9.4, and 23 mg/kg/day in males and 0, 1.1,
2.1, 10.9, and 27 mg/kg/day in females) for 2 years .
When mice were given diets with 0, 5, 25, or 100 ppm
phosmet (approximately 0.75, 3.75, or 15.0 mg/kg/day) for
2 years, there was an increased incidence of hepatocellular
tumors in males and mammary gland tumors in
females . | [Environmental Fate]
Soil. In soils, phosmet is rapidly hydrolyzed to phthalimide (Camazano and Martin,
1980; Sánchez Camazano and Sánchez Martin, 1983). The rate of hydrolysis is greater in
the presence of various montmorillonite clays and chloride salts. The calculated hydrolysis
half-lives of phosmet in the presence of calcium, barium, copper, magnesium and nickel
montmorillonite clays were 0.084, 0.665, 10.025, 16.926 and 28.738 days, respectively.
Similarly, the half-lives of phosmet in the presence of copper, calcium, magnesium and
barium chlorides were <0.020, 5.731, 10.680 and 12.242 days, respectively. In comparison,
the hydrolysis of phosmet in a neutral water solution was 46.210 days (Sánchez Camazano
and Sánchez Martin, 1983)
Plant. In plants, phosmet is degraded to nontoxic compounds (Hartley and Kidd, 1987).
Dorough et al. (1966) reported the half-life in Bermuda grass was 6.5 days. Half-life values
ranged from 1.2 to 6.5 days (Dorough et al., 1966; Leuck and Bowman
Chemical/Physical. Emits toxic fumes of phosphorus, nitrogen and sulfur oxides when
heated to decomposition (Sax and Lewis, 1987). Though no products were identified, the
hydrolysis half-lives at 20°C were 7.0 days and 7.1 hours at pH 6.1 and pH 7.4, respectively.
At 37.5°C and pH 7.4, the hydrolysis is 1.1 hours (Freed et al., 1979) | [Metabolic pathway]
The main degradative route of phosmet metabolism in plants and animals
is similar with the compound being hydrolysed via attack on the carbonyl
group of the phthaloyl moiety, yielding phthalamic acid which is further
hydrolysed and decarboxylated to benzoic acid. It should be noted,
however, that the studies on which the evidence for these metabolites
is based are old and used paper chromatography for the main
analytical evidence. A rather later study in rats identified N-hydroxymethylphthalimide
and phthalimide as metabolites, implying a degradative
hydrolytic route via attack on the N-methylene carbon atom.
Oxidative desulfuration to the active acetylcholinesterase inhibitor
phosmet oxon predominates over hydrolysis in insects and is responsible
for the selectivity of the compound. | [Metabolism]
Orally administered
phosmet in mammals is rapidly degraded to
phthalamic acid, phthalic acid, and phthalic acid derivatives,
and the metabolites are excreted in the urine.
Oxidative desulfuration to the oxon predominates over
hydrolysis in insects. It is rapidly degraded in plants
and soils. | [Degradation]
Phosmet is relatively stable in acid media but it is hydrolysed under basic
conditions. The half-lives at pH values 4.5, 7 and 8.3 were 13 days, <12
hours and <4 hours, respectively (PM). Phosmet was hydrolysed under
basic conditions to phthalamic acid (2), phthalic acid (3) and O,Odimethyl
phosphorodithioate (4) indicating that nucleophic attack by
OH-occurs preferentially on the phthalimido carbonyl group rather than
on phosphorus (Menn et al., 1965) (Scheme 1). The photolysis of an ether
solution of phosmet irradiated in a quartz tube by unfiltered UV light
from a mercury vapour lamp was investigated by Tanabe ef al. (1974).
Photoproducts were separated by silica gel column chromatography and
characterised by GLC, TLC, MS and 1H NMR spectroscopy in comparison
with authenticated reference standards. Two major photoproducts were
identified as N-methylphthalimide (5) and N-methoxymethylphthalimide
(6) (Scheme 1) in addition to a large number of minor products which
were not characterised. The use of a Pyrex filter to remove light below
286 nm reduced the rate of photolysis but not the nature of the products.
N-Methoxymethylphthalimide (6) was the main product when phosmet
was irradiated by sunlight in thin films on silica gel TLC plates or in dilute
aqueous solution [personal communication by McBain and Menn (1973),
in Tanabe et al., 1974]. | [Toxicity evaluation]
The acute oral LD50 for rats is 113–160 mg/kg. Inhalation LC50
(1 h) for rats is 2.76 mg/L air. NOEL (2 yr) for rats
is 40 mg/kg/d. ADI is 0.01 mg/kg bw. |
| Questions And Answer | Back Directory | [Chemical Properties]
Phosmet is an off-white crystalline solid with an offensive odour.It is very soluble in acetone, xylene, methanol, benzene, toluene, and methyl isobutyl ketone; in kerosene. Phosmet is combustible and susceptible in the presence of strong reducing agents and hydrides. It forms highly toxic and flammable phosphine gas. On partial oxidation by oxidising agents, phosmet releases toxic phosphorus oxides. On heating and/or burning, phosmet decomposes and produces toxic fumes including nitrogen oxides, phosphorous oxides, and sulphur oxides.
