methyl N-[4-(methoxycarbonylamino)phenyl]sulfonylcarbamate

Carbasulam is an obsolete herbicide. Little is known about its environmental fate, ecotoxicology or its impact on human health.

Carbasulam is a herbicidal carbamate for agricultural purposes. A preemergence herbicides for sugarcane.

While detailed production methods are not publicly documented for carbasulam, its chemical structure suggests it was synthesised through a multi-step organic process involving sulfonamide and carbamate functional groups. The synthesis likely included the reaction of aromatic amines with sulfonyl chlorides followed by carbamoylation, forming the compound.

Sulfonamide herbicides work by inhibiting acetolactate synthase (ALS), an enzyme essential for the biosynthesis of branched-chain amino acids in plants
