Ethoate-methy is a toxic chemical substance, a pesticide.
ChEBI: Ethoate-methyl is an organic thiophosphate.
Ethoate-methyl is commercially produced through a multi-step synthesis involving phosphorodithioic acid derivatives. The key reaction includes the esterification of O,O-dimethyl phosphorodithioic acid with N-ethyl-2-mercaptoacetamide, forming the active compound S-[2-(ethylamino)-2-oxoethyl] O,O-dimethyl phosphorodithioate. This process is typically carried out in inert solvents under controlled temperature and pH conditions to ensure high yield and purity.
Systemic with some contact action. Acetylcholinesterase (AchE) inhibitor.
