| | Strobane (TM) Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | Amber-colored viscous liquid; density 1.627at 25°C (77°F); insoluble in water; slightlymiscible in alcohol; soluble in hydrocarbonsolvents. | | Uses | Strobane and Toxaphene (T700005) are highly toxic chlorinated derivatives of Terpenes. | | Uses | Insecticide. Compare Toxaphene. | | Production Methods | Strobane is commercially produced by chlorinating terpene hydrocarbons such as pinene or camphene under controlled conditions using elemental chlorine. The process involves passing chlorine gas through the terpene feedstock in a reaction vessel, typically in the presence of ultraviolet light or heat to initiate free-radical chlorination. This results in a complex mixture of chlorinated terpene compounds, collectively known as strobane. The reaction is carefully monitored to achieve the desired degree of chlorination and product consistency. | | Definition | STROBANE (TM) is a chlorinated mixture of terpene hydrocarbons. Also indexed as Terpenes, chlorinated. | | Health Hazard | Moderately toxic by ingestion; mild skin irritant; animal experiments indicate sufficientevidence of carcinogenicity; cancer-causingeffects in humans remain unknown.
LD50 oral (rat): 200 mg/kg
LD50 oral (dog): 200 mg/kg. | | Mechanism of action | Non-systemic with contact action. Acts on the neurons, causing an imbalance in sodium and potassium ions | | Safety Profile | Poison by ingestion. Questionable carcinogen with experimental carcinogenic data. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of Cl-. See also CHLORINATED HYDROCARBONS, AROMATIC. | | Pesticide Type | Insecticide; Metabolite |
