Chlorpyrifos Oxon is a well-characterized compound with a molecular formula of C9H11Cl3NO4P and a molecular weight of 334.5. This organophosphate pesticide derivative is structurally related to chlorpyrifos, an insecticide widely used in agriculture. Due to its hazardous nature, it carries the signal word 'Danger', indicating potential acute toxicity upon ingestion. It is also known to exhibit strong inhibition of acetylcholinesterase enzymes, leading to accumulation of acetylcholine in the nervous system. This property underlies its pesticidal action against various insect species. Additionally, Chlorpyrifos Oxon has been found to decompose slowly in the environment, contributing to its persistence and potential environmental impact.
