METHYLARSONIC ACID Chemical Properties,Uses,Production
Description
Salts of methanearsonic acid,CH3AsO(OH)2, especially the iron ammonium salt, Neoasozin, used as a fungicide in rice growing and the sodium, ammonium, and diethanolam monium salts used as herbicides in cotton growing.
Chemical Properties
Plates from EtOH or Me2CO.Sol in H 2O and EtOH.
Chemical Properties
White crystalline solid.
Uses
Methylarsonic acid is used as herbicide.
Definition
ChEBI: Methylarsonic acid is a member of arsonic acids, a one-carbon compound and an organoarsonic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a methylarsonate(1-).
Production Methods
Methylarsonic acid is commercially produced through the reaction of arsenic acid or arsenic trioxide with methylating agents such as methyl iodide or dimethyl sulphate under controlled conditions. The process typically involves neutralisation and oxidation steps to yield the organoarsenic acid. The compound is then purified by recrystallisation from solvents like ethanol or acetone.
Hazard
Moderately toxic by ingestion.
Mechanism of action
Selective, contact action with some systemic properties. Readily absorbed by leaves and translocates throughout the plant
Potential Exposure
Methanearsonic acid is an organoarsenic herbicide.
Shipping
UN3465 Organoarsenic compound, solid, n.o.s., Hazard Class: 6.1; Labels: 6.1-Poisonous materials, Technical Name Required.
Purification Methods
Recrystallise this herbicide from Me2CO or absolute EtOH (white plates; its solubility is 28g/100mL EtOH). [Quick & Adams J Am Chem Soc 44 809 1922, Beilstein 4 H 613, 4 I 577, 4 II 996, 4 III 1822, 4 IV 3682.]
Incompatibilities
A strong acid. Incompatible with caustics, ammonia, amines, amides, organic anhydrides, isocyanates, vinyl acetate, alkylene oxides, epichlorohydrin. May not be compatible with nitrates. Moisture may cause hydrolysis or other forms of decomposition. Attacks metals in the presence of moisture
Waste Disposal
Do not discharge into drains or sewers. Dispose of waste material as hazardous waste using a licensed disposal contractor to an approved landfill. Consult with environmental regulatory agencies for guidance on acceptable disposal practices. If allowed, Incineration with effluent gas scrubbing is recommended. Containers must be disposed of properly by following package label directions or by contacting your local or federal environmental control agency, or by contacting your regional EPA office.
