XMC Usage And Synthesis

Uses

XMC is an insecticide with primarily contact action. It is mainly used to control leafhoppers and planthoppers on rice, and tea green leafhoppers on tea.

Uses

XMC (pesticide) is a pesticide used in pesticide formulation for the protection of green tea crops.

Definition

ChEBI: XMC is a carbamate ester. It has a role as a carbamate insecticide, an EC 3.1.1.7 (acetylcholinesterase) inhibitor and an agrochemical. It is functionally related to a methylcarbamic acid and a 3,5-xylenol.

Metabolic pathway

Metabolic pathways for XMC involve hydroxylation of ring-methyl groups, N-methyl groups and of the phenyl ring. Hydrolysis of the ester moiety occurs in soils.

Degradation

XMC is rapidly hydrolysed in alkaline media to afford the phenol (2). It is relatively stable in neutral and weakly acidic aqueous solutions even at temperatures up to 90 °C. Aqueous solutions of XMC are stable to light(PM).
