Sign in to saveAlso known as 2-(4-tert-butylphenoxy)cyclohexyl prop-2-ynyl sulfite, 2-(4-tert-butylphenoxy)cyclohexyl prop-2-ynyl sulphite, BPPS, 2-(p-tert-butylphenoxy)cyclohexyl 2-propynyl sulfite, 2-(p-tert-butylphenoxy)cyclohexyl propargyl sulfite, 2-(p-t-butylphenoxy)cyclohexyl propargyl sulfite, Comite
Propargite (IUPAC name 2-(4-tert-butylphenoxy)cyclohexyl prop-2-yne-1-sulfonate, trade names Mitex, Omite and Comite) is a pesticide used to kill mites (an acaricide). It acts through inhibition of mitochondrial ATP synthase, and is in IRAC group 12C. Symptoms of excessive exposure are eye and skin irritation, and possibly sensitization. It is highly toxic to amphibians, fish, and zooplankton, as well as having potential carcinogenity.
