[Incompatibilities]

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. 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. Phosmet is effective in controlling S. scabiei in pigs when applied as a 20% pour-on solution. It is toxic to rats via oral administration (LC50 = 230 mg/kg). Formulations containing phosmet have been used in the control of insects and mites in agriculture.
[Waste Disposal]

[Carcinogenicity]

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].
