Studies on insecticidal activity and synthesis of Bis (trichlorophenoxy) ethane

Bis(trichlorophenoxy) ethane(BTPE)의 합성 및 살충효력에 관한 연구(I)

Many of the chlorophenol derivatives are widely used as insecticides, herbicides and plant growth regulators. The function and use of these chemicals would be different according to the number of chlorine and their chemical structures. It was reported in this article that 1) Bis(trichlorophenoxy) ethane was synthesized with 2 mol-trichlorophenol and 1 moi-dibromoethane in 2 moi-Sodium hydroxide alcohol solution, and 3) the insecticidal activity of Bis(trichlorophenoxy) ethane was compared with Phenkapton, Tedion V-18, BHC, and DDT, on Citrus red mite, Bombix mori (Silk worm), and Daikon leaf beetle(Phaedon brassicae) 3) The toxicity of Bis(2, 4, 5-trichlorophenoxy) ethane and Bis(2, 4, 5-trichlorophenoxy) ethane was studied on mice. The following results were obtained. 1) Yield of Bis(2, 4, 5-trichlorophenoxy) ethane, $50.06\%$, m.p. $157-159^{\circ}C$, and yield of Bis(2,4, 6-trichlorophenoxy) ethane, $32.60\%$, m.p. $162-163^{\circ}C$. 2) Insecticidal activity of Bis(2, 4, 5-trichlorophenoxy) ethane to Citrus red mite is stronger than that of Tedion V-18, and weaker than that of Phenkapton. 3) Insecticidal activity of Bis(2, 4, 5-trichlorophenoxy) ethane to Bombix mori is weaker than those of BHC and DDT. 4) Insecticidal activity of Bis(2. 4, 5-trichlorophenoxy) ethane to Daikon leaf beetle proved to be ineffective. 5) Five rams of Bis(2, 4, 5-trichlorophenoxy) ethane and Bis(2, 4, 6-trichlorophenoxy) ethane pet kg of body weight respectively were given to mice orally, and none of the mouse was killed by it after a period of 72 hours. Therefore it seems that there is almost no toxicity.

Chlorophenol 유도체들이 농약으로 많이 사용되고 있으므로 저자들은 Trichlorophenol과 Dibromoethane으로 Bis(2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy) ethane 과 Bis(2,4,6-trichlorophenoxy) ethane을 합성하고 mice에 대한 독성 및 Bis(2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy) ethane의 귤응애, 누에 및 무우잎별레에 대한 살충작용을 Phenkapton, Tedion V-18. BHC 및 DBT 등과 비교관찰하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. (1) Bis(2,4,5-trichlorophenory) ethane의 yield 는 8.0g $(50.06\%)\;(m.p. 157-159^{\circ}C)$이며 Bis(2,4,6-trichlorophenoxy) ethane 의 yield는 5.2g $(32.60\%)\;(m.p. 162-163^{\circ}C}$였다. (2) Bis(2,4,6-trichlophenoxy) ethane의 귤응애(Citrusred mite)에 대한 살충작용은 Tedion V-18 보다 강하고 Phenkapton에 비해서는 약하다. (3) 누에 (Bombix mori)에 대한 살충작용은 BHC 및 DDT보다 약하다. (4) 무잎별레(Daikon leaf beetle)에 대해서는 살충력이 없였다. (5) 2,4,5-BTPE 및 2,4,6-BTPE는 체중 k9당 5g씩 mice에 경구투여한 바 72시간동안 한 마리도 죽지 않아 독성은 적은 것으로 본다.
