64-00-6 Usage
Uses
Used in Agriculture:
m-Cumenyl methylcarbamate is used as an insecticide for protecting cotton, fruit, vegetables, and field crops. It helps in controlling pests and insects that can damage these crops, ensuring a higher yield and better quality produce.
Used in Malaria Control:
m-Cumenyl methylcarbamate is used as a potential human-safe insecticide against the malaria mosquito. By targeting the mosquito population, it contributes to the reduction of malaria transmission, thereby improving public health and reducing the burden of this disease.
Note: m-Cumenyl methylcarbamate is not registered as a pesticide in the U.S., which may limit its application in certain regions. However, its potential benefits in agriculture and public health make it a valuable compound for further research and development.
Reactivity Profile
MIP 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.
Health Hazard
MIP is a cholinesterase inhibitor.
Fire Hazard
(Non-Specific -- Carbamate Pesticide, Solid, n.o.s.) Container may explode in heat of fire. When heated to decomposition, MIP emits toxic fumes of nitrogen oxides. Incompatible with alkalis. Avoid decomposing heat.
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 64-00-6 includes 5 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 2 digits, 6 and 4 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 0 and 0 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 64-00:
(4*6)+(3*4)+(2*0)+(1*0)=36
36 % 10 = 6
So 64-00-6 is a valid CAS Registry Number.

Insecticidal and/or acaricidal composition exhibiting low toxicity to mammals and fish
-
, (2008/06/13)
The present invention relates to insecticidal compositions of low toxicity to fishes and mammals characterized by containing m-(p-bromophenoxy)-α-cyanobenzyl trans- or trans-rich-2,2-dimethyl-3-(2,2-dichlorovinyl)cyclopropanecarboxylate of the formula (I), STR1 and a carbamic ester of the formula (III), STR2 wherein R is a group of the formula, STR3 in which X is a C1 -C4 alkyl or C1 -C4 alkoxyl group and n is 1 or 2, in a ratio of 1 to 1-100 (part by weight) of the former to the latter, and insecticides obtained by mixing said compositions with a carrier or a diluent and if necessary an additive. The term "trans-rich" shows the ratio of trans/cis is not less than 75/25.
