Physical & Safety Data

Physical Properties

Molecular weight:364.3. Physical form:Dark brown liquid. Density:1.10 (20 °C); Composition:Originally thought to be 2-(1-methylheptyl)-4,6-dinitrophenyl crotonate (i, n=0). Now known that the commercial material is a mixture comprising 2.0-2.5 parts of 6-octyl isomers (i) to 1.0 part of 4-octyl isomers (ii). See IUPAC definition Vapour pressure:5.3×10-6 mPa (20 °C); 7.5×10-5 mPa (25 °C); Partition coefficient(n-octanol and water):logP = 4.54; Solubility:Almost insoluble in water (<0.1 mg/l). Soluble in most organic solvents, e.g. acetone, methanol, heptane.; Stability:Rapidly decomposed by light. Decomposes >32 °C. Stable in acidic media. Hydrolysis of the ester group occurs in alkaline media. 2-(1-methylheptyl)-4,6-dinitrophenyl crotonate hydrolysed in aqueous methanol.

Toxicology

Oral:Acute oral LD₅₀ for male rats 980 mg/kg, female rats 1190 mg/kg, dogs 100 mg/kg (F. S. Larson et al., Arch. Int. Pharmacodyn. Ther., 1959, 119, 31). Percutaneous:Acute percutaneous LD₅₀ for rabbits >4700 mg tech./ kg, >2350 mg a.i./ kg (as 250 g/

Environmental Profile

Ecotoxicology:
Bees:Not toxic to bees.Fish:Toxic to fish.
Environmental fate:
Animals:In rats, following oral administration, dinocap is almost entirely eliminated rapidly in the urine and faeces. In dairy cows, dinocap and its metabolites are excreted almost completely in the faeces, with only a small amount in the urine. The nitro groupsSoil:In soil, the principal metabolite is 2,4-dinitro-6-(2-octyl)phenol. Details are given in J. Agric. Food Chem., 1984, 32, 1151. Soil DT₅₀ 4.5-6.1 d (silt loam and fine sandy loam) by microbial degradation. Plant:Metabolism follows the same course as in animals.
WATER SOLUBILITY: Practically insoluble.
