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

ChEBI: 2,3,5-trimethylphenyl methylcarbamate is a carbamate ester that consists of 2,3,5-trimethylphenol carrying an O-(N-methylcarbamoyl) group. One of two constituents of trimethacarb. It has a role as an agrochemical and an insecticide. It is functionally related to a 2,3,5-trimethylphenol.

The metabolic pathways of trimethacarb in plants, mammals and insects involve mainly oxidation of N-methyl or ring-methyl substituents and conjugation. Some hydroxylation of the phenyl ring and ester hydrolysis occurs. The metabolism of trimethacarb was reviewed by Fukuto (1972), Kuhr and Dorough (1976) and by Schlagbauer and Schlagbauer (1972).
