Methomyl
Methomyl is a carbamate insecticide. It was introduced in 1966, but its use is restricted because of its high toxicity to humans. Its current primary use is on alfalfa for forage. The EU and UK have imposed these restrictions by allowing a maximum pesticide residue limit of 0.02 mg/kg for apples and oranges. 0.02 mg/kg is the limit of detection. It has been found in residues on vegetables and spices in Thailand exceeding safety standards in 2012, due to not being listed on the Dangerous Substances Act, along with carbofuran, dicrotophos and EPN. Methomyl is the active ingredient in commercial fly bait granules which are mixed with a cola drink to illegally kill bothersome raccoon, skunk and opossum. Synthesis Methomyl can be produced by reacting methyl isocyanate and methylthioacetaldoxime First preparing ester Second preparing oxim from ester Third preparing product from isocyanate and oxim.
