2,3,5-TRIMETHACARB Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Uses

2,3,5-Trimethacarb is a major constituent in landrin insecticide.

Definition

ChEBI: A carbamate ester that consists of 2,3,5-trimethylphenol carrying an O-(N-methylcarbamoyl) group. One of two constituents of trimethacarb.

General Description

Brown crystalline solid. Non corrosive. Used as an insecticide.

Air & Water Reactions

Hydrolyzed in strong acid or alkaline media.

Reactivity Profile

2,3,5-TRIMETHACARB is a carbamate ester. Carbamates are chemically similar to, but more reactive than amides. Like amides they form polymers such as polyurethane resins. Carbamates are incompatible with strong acids and bases, and especially incompatible with strong reducing agents such as hydrides. Flammable gaseous hydrogen is produced by the combination of active metals or nitrides with carbamates. Strongly oxidizing acids, peroxides, and hydroperoxides are incompatible with carbamates.
