Usage

General Description

4-chloro-3-methylphenyl dimethylcarbamate is a chemical compound used as a pesticide and insecticide. It is made up of a dimethylcarbamate group attached to a 4-chloro-3-methylphenyl group, and its molecular formula is C9H10ClNO2. 4-chloro-3-methylphenyl dimethylcarbamate works by inhibiting the activity of the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, which is essential for the proper functioning of the nervous system in insects. By disrupting the nervous system, it ultimately leads to the death of the targeted pests. However, it is important to note that 4-chloro-3-methylphenyl dimethylcarbamate can also be toxic to humans and other non-target organisms if not used properly, and it has been associated with negative effects on human health and the environment.
