MPMC Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Description

Xylylcarb (MPMC) is a colorless solid, which is sparingly soluble in water and is fairly soluble in acetonitrile, cyclohexane, and xylene.

Uses

Xylylcarb is a non-systemic insecticide. It is mainly used to control hoppers and other sucking pests on rice, and leafhoppers, planthoppers and scale insects on fruit.

Definition

ChEBI: Xylylcarb is a carbamate ester. It has a role as an EC 3.1.1.7 (acetylcholinesterase) inhibitor, a carbamate insecticide and an agrochemical. It is functionally related to a methylcarbamic acid and a 3,4-xylenol.

Metabolic pathway

In plants and animals, the principal pathways of xylylcarb metabolism are oxidation of the 4-methyl substituent, hydroxylation of the N-methyl group, hydrolysis of the carbamate ester to form phenols and conjugation.

Degradation

Xylylcarb is hydrolysed in alkaline conditions (PM).
