Daminozide

Описание

Alar is a systemic growth regulator approved in the United States for use on ornamental plants such as chrysanthemums, poinsettias, and bedding plants located in enclosed structures such as greenhouses. Alar reduces internode elongation; induces heat, drought, and frost resistance; and produces darker foliage and stronger stems as well as earlier and multiple flowers and fruits. A spray is often applied at the rate of 1500–10 000 ppm.

Химические свойства

Daminozide is a colorless crystalline solid.

Использование

Daminozide is a plant growth regulator used to improve crop quality and maximize yield.Used as a standard for Pesticide detection. Useful in cannabis testing kits as a component of pesticide mixes (P698240).

Общее описание

Odorless white crystals or powder.

Реакции воздуха и воды

Slightly soluble in water.

Профиль реактивности

Daminozide may be heat sensitive. Incompatible with strong oxidizing agents, strong acids, and bases. Also incompatible with wetting agents, alkaline materials, oils and copper-containing compounds. May corrode metals . May generate toxic gases with acids, aldehydes, amides, carbamates, cyanides, inorganic fluorides, halogenated organics, isocyanates, ketones, metals, nitrides, peroxides, phenols, epoxides, acyl halides, and strong oxidizing or reducing agents. May generate flammable gases with alkali metals. Explosive reactions can occur with strong oxidizing agents, metal salts, peroxides, and sulfides.

Пожароопасность

Flash point data for Daminozide are not available; however, Daminozide is probably combustible.

Сельскохозяйственное использование

Plant growth regulator: Daminozide is a systemic growth regulator registered for use on ornamentals, including potted chrysanthemums and poinsettias, and bedding plants in enclosed structures. U.S. sales for food and feed crops were halted in 1989 because of health considerations, i. e., the Alar scare on apples.

Возможный контакт

Daminozide is a herbicide/plant growth regulator used on certain fruit (especially apples) to improve the balance between growth and fruit production and to improve fruit quality and synchronize maturity. A RUP. United States sales were suspended in 1989 due to health considerations.

Метаболический путь

Daminozide is oxidized by photochemically generated singlet oxygen, with rose bengal as a sensitizing agent in methanol-d4 to yield equimolar amounts of N,N- dimethylnitrosamine (DMN) and succinic anhydride as the only products detected by 1H and 13C NMR. The reaction is efficiently inhibited by 2,5-dimethylfuran as a competitor for, or sodium azide as a quencher of, singlet oxygen. Humic acid, similar to that found in natural and waste waters, and a red pigment isolated from apple peel also sensitize the photodegradation of daminozide to produce DMN and succinic anhydride.

Несовместимости

Daminozide may be heat sensitive. Incompatible with strong oxidizing agents, strong acids, and bases. Also incompatible with wetting agents, alkaline materials, oils and copper-containing compounds. May corrode metals (NTP, 1992). May generate toxic gases with acids, aldehydes, amides, carbamates, cyanides, inorganic fluorides, halogenated organics, isocyanates, ketones, metals, nitrides, peroxides, phenols, epoxides, acyl halides, and reducing agents. May generate flammable gases with alkali metals. Explosive reactions can occur with strong oxidizing agents, metal salts, peroxides, and sulfides . 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 dithio- nites (releasing hydrogen sulfate and oxides of sulfur).
