Aldoxycarb is an active ingredient for crop protection from the group of oxime-acid amides, used as an insecticide, for example on tobacco plants.[1]
Aldoxycarb is the sulfone analogue of the insecticide aldicarb. Studies indicate that residues of aldicarb or aldoxycarb do not enter the drinking water supply. Most residues are degraded in the unsaturated zone with a half-life of 0.5 to 2 months. Aldoxycarb and aldicarb degrade at a comparable rate.[2]
In another study, aldicarb and aldoxycarb (2.24 kg/ha) increased seed potato yields by approximately 40%. The active ingredient oxamyl proved comparably effective. In addition, the control of nematodes in potatoes by aldicarb, aldoxycarb, and oxamyl was confirmed.[3]
Synthesis
Aldoxycarb is obtained by reacting aldicarb with hydrogen peroxide:[1]
