Bis(2,4-dichlorophenyl) chlorophosphate, with the CAS number 14254-41-2, is an organophosphate compound characterized by its structure, which includes two 2,4-dichlorophenyl groups attached to a phosphate moiety. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its form and purity. It is known for its use as an insecticide and acaricide, functioning by disrupting the normal functioning of the nervous system in pests. The presence of chlorine atoms in the phenyl rings enhances its lipophilicity, allowing for better penetration through biological membranes. Bis(2,4-dichlorophenyl) chlorophosphate is also recognized for its potential environmental persistence and toxicity, necessitating careful handling and regulation. Its reactivity is attributed to the chlorophosphate group, which can undergo hydrolysis and other chemical transformations. As with many organophosphates, it poses risks to non-target organisms, including humans, making safety precautions essential during its use and application.
