LINDANE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical PropertiesBHC is a white-to-brownish crystalline solidwith a musty, phosgene-like odor.
Physical propertiesSolid crystals or fine platelets with a faint musty-like odor
Usesδ-1,2,3,4,5,6-Hexachlorocyclohexane is an organochloride annd is one of the isomers of hexachlorocyclohexane. aδ-1,2,3,4,5,6-Hexachlorocyclohexane is also an byproduct of insecticide Lindane (L465990).
UsesInsecticide.
DefinitionChEBI: Beta-hexachlorocyclohexane is the beta-isomer of hexachlorocyclohexane. It has a role as a persistent organic pollutant. It is an organochlorine pesticide and a hexachlorocyclohexane.
General DescriptionSlightly musty odor.
Reactivity ProfileLINDANE may be incompatible with strong oxidizing and reducing agents. Incompatible with some amines, nitrides, azo/diazo compounds, with alkali metals, and with epoxides.
Health HazardACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: Highly toxic. May cause irritation on contact. Hazardous decomposition products.
Potential ExposureThe major commercial usage of BHCis based upon its insecticidal properties. α-BCH is used asan Agricultural chemical, pesticide, pharmaceutical, andveterinary drug. The 7-isomer has the highest acute toxic ity, but the other isomers are not without activity. It is gen erally advantageous to purify the 7-isomer from the lessactive isomers. The γ-isomer acts on the nervous system ofinsects, principally at the level of the nerve ganglia. As aresult, lindane has been used against insects in a wide rangeof applications including treatment of animals, buildings,humans for ectoparasites, clothes; water for mosquitoes;living plants; seeds and soils. Some applications have beenabandoned due to excessive residues, e.g., stored food stuffs. By voluntary action, the principal domestic producerof technical grade BHC requested cancellation of its BHCregistrations on September 1, 1976. As of July 21, 1978, allregistrants of pesticide products containing BHC voluntar ily canceled their registrations or switched their formerBHC products to lindane formulations.
Environmental FateBiological. Dehydrochlorination of δ-BHC by a Pseudomonas sp. under aerobic con ditions was reported by Sahu et al. (1992). They also reported that when deionized watercontaining δ-BHC was inoculated with Pseudomonas sp., the concentration of δ-BHCdecreased to undetectable levels after 8 days with concomitant formation of chloride ionsand δ-pentachlorocyclohexane. In four successive 7-day incubation periods, δ-BHC (5 and10 mg/L) was recalcitrant to degradation in a settled domestic wastewater inoculum (Tabaket al., 1981).
Chemical/Physical. δ-BHC dehydrochlorinates in the presence of alkalies. The hydrol ysis half-lives at pH values of 7 and 9 are 191 days and 11 hours, respectively (Worthingand Hance, 1991).
ShippingUN2761 Organochlorine pesticides, solid, toxic,Hazard Class: 6.1; Labels: 6.1-Poisonous materials.
IncompatibilitiesIncompatible with oxidizers (chlorates,nitrates, peroxides, permanganates, perchlorates, chlorine,bromine, fluorine, etc.); contact may cause fires or explo sions. Keep away from alkaline materials, strong bases,strong acids, oxoacids, epoxides. Decomposes on contactwith powdered iron, aluminum, zinc, and on contact withstrong bases producing trichlorobenzene.
Waste DisposalA process has been developedfor the destructive pyrolysis of benzene hexachloride @400 500℃ with a catalyst mixture which contains 5 10%of either cupric chloride, ferric chloride; zinc chloride; oraluminum chloride on activated carbon.
