Description

Methomyl-Sulfone CAS NO 55620-24-1 is a key chemical intermediate and metabolite derived from the carbamate insecticide methomyl. This compound is of significant importance in analytical chemistry and environmental science for residue analysis and metabolic pathway studies. It is primarily required by agrochemical manufacturers, analytical laboratories, and research institutions involved in pesticide development, environmental monitoring, and regulatory compliance testing.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Serves as a certified standard for the quantification and confirmation of methomyl and its metabolites in environmental samples (water, soil) and agricultural products.
• Metabolite Studies: Used in research to study the environmental fate, degradation pathways, and metabolic profile of the parent insecticide methomyl.
• Pesticide Formulation Research: Acts as a critical intermediate in the synthesis and development of new pesticide formulations or in studies aimed at understanding insecticide resistance.
• Quality Control & Assurance: Employed by agrochemical producers for in-house quality control to monitor impurities and degradation products in technical-grade methomyl or its formulations.
• Regulatory Compliance Testing: Essential for laboratories conducting tests to comply with global maximum residue limits (MRLs) set by agencies like the EPA, EFSA, and others.
• Toxicological Research: Utilized in studies assessing the toxicity and environmental impact of methomyl's breakdown products.
