1,1-Dimethylethyl N-(2-oxoethyl)-N-(phenylmethyl)carbamate

Description:

1,1-Dimethylethyl N-(2-oxoethyl)-N-(phenylmethyl)carbamate, identified by its CAS number 136159-63-2, is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of carbamates. This substance typically exhibits characteristics such as being a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and formulation. It is known for its potential applications in agricultural chemistry, particularly as a pesticide or herbicide, due to its ability to inhibit certain biological processes in target organisms. The compound features a carbamate functional group, which is characterized by the presence of a carbonyl group (C=O) adjacent to an amine (N) and an alkoxy or alkyl group. Its molecular structure includes a dimethyl group, contributing to its steric hindrance, which can influence its reactivity and biological activity. Additionally, the presence of the phenylmethyl group may enhance its lipophilicity, affecting its absorption and distribution in biological systems. Safety and handling precautions are essential when working with this compound, as with many chemicals in its class.
