Diethyl-benzylmercaptomethyl-phosphinoxid, also known as O,O-diethyl-S-benzyl-S-methyl phosphorodithioate, is an organophosphorus compound with the chemical formula C12H19O2PS2. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a garlic-like odor and is used as an agricultural pesticide, specifically as an acaricide and insecticide. The compound works by inhibiting the acetylcholinesterase enzyme in insects, leading to their paralysis and death.
