| Chemical Properties | alpha-cypermethrin is a colorless crystalline solid or viscous yellowish-brown semisolid mass. mild aromatic odor. easily soluble in alcohols, ketones and aromatic hydrocarbon organic solvents, such as cyclohexanone 515g/l, xylene 315g/l, solubility in water 5 ~ 10mg/l (0.01 ~ 0.2mg/l). it is relatively stable under acidic and neutral conditions, easy to hydrolyze under strong alkaline conditions, and has good thermal stability. |
| Uses | insecticide |
| Uses | Alpha-cypermethrin is used to control a wide range of insects,especially Lepidoptera, in fruit, vines, vegetables, cereals, beans, beets,cotton, ornamentals and forestry and other crops. It is also used for insectcontrol in public health and for ectoparasite control on animals. |
| Uses | alpha-Cypermethrin is a synthetic pyrethroid pesticide used in large-scale commercial agricultural applications as well as in consumer products for domestic purposes. |
| Definition | ChEBI: Cypermethrin is a carboxylic ester resulting from the formal condensation between 3-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid and the alcoholic hydroxy group of hydroxy(3-phenoxyphenyl)acetonitrile. It has a role as a pyrethroid ester insecticide, a pyrethroid ester acaricide, an agrochemical and a molluscicide. It is an organochlorine compound, a nitrile, an aromatic ether and a cyclopropanecarboxylate ester. It is functionally related to a 3-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid. |
| Agricultural Uses | Insecticide: A U.S. EPA restricted Use Pesticide (RUP) (zeta-Cypermethrin only). Used for the control of a wide range of chewing and sucking insects (particularly Lepidotera, Coleoptera, and Hemiptera) in fruit (including citrus), vegetables, vines, cereals, maize, beet, oilseed rape, potatoes, cotton, rice, soya beans, forestry, and other crops. Control of cockroaches, mosquitoes, flies, and other insect pests in public health; and flies in animal houses. Also used as an animal ectoparasiticide. |

| Potential Exposure | alpha-Cypermethrin useds for the control of a wide range of chewing and sucking insects (particularly lepidotera, coleoptera, and hemiptera) in fruit (including citrus), vegetables, vines, cereals, maize, beet, oilseed rape, potatoes, cotton, rice, soya beans, forestry, and other crops. Control of cockroaches, mosquitoes, flies, and other insect pests in public health; and flies in animal houses. Also used as an animal ectoparasiticide. alpha-Cypermethrin only is a United States Environmental Protection Agency Restricted Use Pesticide (RUP). |
| Metabolic pathway | Alpha-cypermethrin is composed of two of the four cis-cypermethrinisomers (i.e. two of the eight cypermethrin isomers). These are the lRcisaSand 1ScisaR isomers. The fate of alpha-cypermethrin specifically has beenreported for soils, rat and human. Metabolite analysis was conducted inenough detail to indicate that the fate of this mixture is very similar to itsfate when presented to biological systems as part of cis-cypermethrin.Thus reference can be made to the cypermethrin entry for details. Thestructure and Scheme numbering used below refers to the cypermethrinentry. |
| Shipping | UN3349 Pyrethroid pesticide, solid toxic,Hazard Class: 6.1; Labels: 6.1-Poisonous material. UN3352Pyrethroid pesticide, liquid toxic, Hazard Class: 6.1;Labels: 6.1-Poisonous materials. |
| Degradation | Alpha-cypermethrin is stable as a solid but it is readily hydrolysed insolution under alkaline conditions. By analogy with cypermethrin, therate-determining step in dilute solution is nucleophilic attack by OH-.Half-lives of cis-cypermethrin in river water and sea water at 25 °Cwere 21 and 24 days, respectively. Major products were 3-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxylic acid (2, DCVA), 3-phenoxybenzaldehyde(9, 3PBAl) and a-carbamoyl-3-phenoxybenzyl 3-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)-2,2-dimethylcyclopropanecarboxyltae (the amide 3);minor products were the a-carboxy analogue of 3 (4) and 3-phenoxybenzoicacid (10,3PBA) (see cypermethrin, Schemes la and lb). Photodecomposition would be expected to be similar to that ofcis-cy permethrin. |
| Incompatibilities | May react violently with strong oxidi-zers, bromine, 90% hydrogen peroxide, phosphorustrichloride, silver powders, or dust. Incompatible with silvercompounds. Mixture with some silver compounds formsexplosive salts of silver oxalate. |
| Waste Disposal | Do not discharge into drainsor sewers. Burn in incinerator specifically designed for pes-ticide disposal or dispose as a Hazardous waste in a landfillapproved and licensed for the disposal of pesticides.Consult with environmental regulatory agencies for guid-ance on acceptable disposal practices. Ultimate disposal ofthe chemical must consider: the material’s impact on airquality; potential migration in soil or water; effects on ani-mal, aquatic, and plant life; and conformance with environ-mental and public health regulations. |
