1-Chlorooctadecane (cas: 3386-33-2) belongs to organic chlorides. Organochlorines stimulate the central nervous system and cause convulsions, tremor, nausea, and mental confusion. Examples are dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT), chlordane, lindane, endosulfan, and dieldrin. Alkyl chlorides readily react with amines to give substituted amines. Alkyl chlorides are substituted by softer halides such as the iodide in the Finkelstein reaction.Reference of 3386-33-2
Potential synergy between spores of Metarhizium anisopliae and plant secondary metabolite, 1-chlorooctadecane for effective natural acaricide development was written by Hussain, Abid;Aljabr, Ahmed Mohammed. And the article was included in Molecules in 2020.Reference of 3386-33-2 This article mentions the following:
Date palm dust mites are important pests severely infesting valuable nutritious fruits (dates) of date palm. In this regard, in vitro tests were performed to evaluate the interaction of M. anisopliae spores with multiple doses of 1-Chlorooctadecane (0.8, 1.6, 2.4, 3.2, and 4.0 mg/mL). Compatibility bioassay results evidenced from vegetative growth (77.7-84.40 mm), sporulation (5.50-7.30 x 106 spores/mL), and germination (96.70-98.20%), revealed that all the tested doses are compatible (biol. index > 82) with the spores of M. anisopliae. The impact of combined treatment of spores with 1-Chlorooctadecane in different proportions (Scheme I, II, III, and IV) compared to their sole application against O. afrasiaticus was evaluated by concentration-mortality response bioassays. Results showed that all the combined treatments revealed high mortality compared to the sole application, which showed relatively slow mortality response over time. Toxicity recorded from Scheme IV combinations (80% 1-Chlorooctadecane: 20% Spores), exhibited strong synergistic interaction (joint toxicity = 713). Furthermore, potent interactions have overcome the host antioxidant defense at the final stage of infection by tremendously reducing catalase, and superoxide dismutase activities. These experiments demonstrated fungal-toxin joint synergistic interaction as a promising date palm dust mite management option. In the experiment, the researchers used many compounds, for example, 1-Chlorooctadecane (cas: 3386-33-2Reference of 3386-33-2).
