On the Utilization of Inactive BHC isomers -Synthesis of 3-(2,4,5-trichlorophenyl)-1-methyl urea as a herbicide-

잔류성(殘留性) 살충제(殺忠劑)인 BHC의 합리적(合理的) 사용방법(使用方法)을 찾기 위하여 용매추출법(溶媒抽出法)에 의한 ${\gamma}$-isomer를 분리(分離) 및 농축(濃縮)하였다. 그리고 불활성(不活性) 이성질체(異性質體)로 부터 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene, 2,4,5-trichloronitrobenzene, 2,4,5-trichloroaniline을 거쳐 3-(2,4,5-trichlorophenyl)-1-methyl urea를 합성(合成)하였으며 몇가지 작물(作物)에 대한 발아(發芽) 및 생육억제효과(生育抑制效果)를 조사하였다. 실험결과(實驗結果)를 요약(要約)하면 다음과 같다. 1. methanol-물 용매계(溶媒系)에서 BHC 원제(原劑)를 재결정(再結晶)하였고, ${\gamma}$-이성질체의 회수율(回收率) 95%에서 ${\gamma}$-이성질체의 조성(組成)이 49.5%로 강화(强化)된 BHC 결정(結晶)을 얻었다. 2. BHC 원제(原劑)를 85%의 methanol성(性) 수용액(水溶液)으로 추출(抽出)한 다음, chloroform이 분배(分配)시켜 재결정시켰을 때는 ${\gamma}$-이성질체의 회수율 90.5%에서 ${\gamma}$-이성질체의 조성(組成)이 89.6%로 농축된 BHC 결정을 얻을수 있었다. 3. BHC 원제로 부터 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene의 합성시(合成時), 합성수율(合成收率)은 alkali 농도(溫度)에 크게 좌우되며, 사용(使用)된 alkali의 종류에도 다소 영향을 받는다. 4. BHC 원제의 alkali 가수분해시(加水分解時) 계면활성제(界面活性劑)의 첨가(添加)는 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene의 수율(收率)을 높혔다. 특히 사급(四級)암모늄염은 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene의 수량(收量)을 크게 증가(增加)시켰다. 5. 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene으로 부터 2,4,5-trichloronitrobenzene의 합성시(合成時) nitro 화시약(化試藥)으로서 $HNO_3-H_2SO_4$를 사용하였을때 94.4%라는 높은 수율(收率)을 보였다. 6. 2,4,5-trichloronitrobenzene을 철(鐵)과 염산(鹽酸)으로 환원(還元)시켰을때, 생성(生成)된 2,4,5-trichloroaniline의 수율(收率)은 91.4%이였다. 7. BHC 원제(原劑)를 기준(基準)으로한 3-(2,4,5-trichlorophenyl)-1-methyl urea의 전수율(全收率)은 60.8%이었다. 8. 6종(種)의 작물에 대한 3-(2,4,5-trichlorophenot)-1-methyl urea의 발아(發芽) 및 생육억제효과(生育抑制效果)는 대조(對照)로 사용한 urea계(系) 제초제(除草劑)인 linuron, diuron 보다 강(强)하였으며, 또 본(本) 화합물(化合物)에 대한 감수성(感受性)은 작물의 종류(種類)와 부위(部位)에 따라 차이(差異)가 있었다.

Present study was carried out to reduce residual toxicity of BHC insecticides inherent in the organochlorine pesticides. For This end, r-isomer, the most potent insecticidal component among the BHC stereoisomers, was isolated and thus fortified by means of solvent precipitation. In parallel, 3-(2,4,5-trichlorophenyl)-1-methyl urea was prepared in good yield from technical BHC via 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene, 1,2,4,-trichloronitrobenzene, and 2,4,5-trichloroaniline. In addition, certain merit of the compound which make it possible to use as a herbicide is discussed. The results are summarized as follows; 1. Recrystallizing technical BHC from methanol-water binary solvent system, r-isomer was enriched to 49.7% at 95% recovery of r-isomer. 2. By partitioning technical BHC in 85% of methanolic solution into chloroform, r-isomer was fortified to 89.6% at 90.5% recovery of r-isomer. 3. Yield of 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene from technical BHC was greatly dependent upon concentration of alkalies and to less degree on the alkalies. 4. Surfactants, in particular cationic a quartenary ammonium salt, increased yield of 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene from technical BHC by alkaline hydrolysis. 5. Conversion of 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene to 2,4,5-trichloronitrobenzene was effected almost quantitatively utilizing $HNO_3-H_2SO_4$ nitrating agent at low temperature. 6. Yield of 91.4% was observed for the synthesis of 2,4,5-trichloroaniline by reducing 2,4,5-trichloronitrobenzene in the presence of iron turning and hydrochloric acid. 7. Overall yield based on BHC of 3-(2,4,5-trichlorophenyl)-1- methyl urea was 60.8%. 8. Inhibition effects, both germination and growth, 3-(2,4,5-trichlorophenyl)-1-methyl urea on several crops were found comparable to or more potent than those of $linuron{\circledR}\;and\;diuron{\circledR}$. In addition, it was also noted that susceptibility to the prepared compound depended upon the crops as well as specific part (shoots, roots) of the plant exposed to the chemicals.
