ChEBI: The oxime resulting from the formal condensation of 2-methyl-2-(methylsulfanyl)propanal with hydroxylamine. Addition of the oxime group to methyl isocyanate forms the final step in the synthesis of the systemic insecticide aldicarb.

Clear colorless,viscous liquid with an unpleasant sulfurous or musty odor.

Sensitive to heat. Water soluble. May decompose with prolonged exposure to moisture.

ALDICARB-OXIME is incompatible with oxidizers, acids and alkalis [(NTP, 1992]. Several explosions or violent decompositions have occurred during distillation of alkoxides, which may be attributable to the formation of peroxides of various types. This is especially the case in the presence of acid, Chem. Eng. News, 1974, 52(35), 3. A nickel catalyzed aldoxime rearrangement to an amide, went out of control after changing the solvent employed, J. Loss Prev., 1993, 6(2), 69.

ALDICARB-OXIME is combustible.
