Oxamyl, is also called N,N-dimethyl-2-methylcarbamoyloxyimino-
2-(methylthio)acetamide (IUPAC), consists of colorless
crystals, which are readily soluble in water, methanol,
ethanol, acetone, and fairly soluble in toluene.
Oxamyl is produced by chlorination of the oxime of
methylglycolate, reaction with methanethiol and alkali,
and conversion to the carbamate with methyl isocyanate.
