ASCARIDOLE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

Pale Yellow Oil

Uses

An organic peroxide which constitutes 60-80% of oil of chenopodium. Anthelmintic.

Definition

ChEBI: A p-menthane monoterpenoid that is p-menth-2-ene with a peroxy group across position 1 to 4.

Hazard

Strong oxidizing agent, explodes on heating to 130C or in contact with organic acids.

Safety Profile

Poison by ingestion. Questionable carcinogen with experimental neoplastigenic and tumorigenic data. Flammable by spontaneous chemical reaction. An oxidizer. Explodes when heated > 130℃ or when exposed to organic acids. Dangerous; heating emits toxic fumes and may explode; reacts with reducing materials. See also CHENOPODIUM OIL and PEROXIDES, ORGANIC.
