Definition
ChEBI: Thiobencarb is a member of monochlorobenzenes and a monothiocarbamic ester.
General Description
Pale yellow to brownish yellow liquid. Non corrosive. Used as an herbicide.
Air & Water Reactions
Thio and dithiocarbamates slowly decompose in aqueous solution to form carbon disulfide and methylamine or other amines. Such decompositions are accelerated by acids.
Reactivity Profile
Thiobencarb is a thiocarbamate. Flammable gases are generated by the combination of thiocarbamates and dithiocarbamates with aldehydes, nitrides, and hydrides. Thiocarbamates and dithiocarbamates are incompatible with acids, peroxides, and acid halides.
