New approach to synthesis of insecticide Sevin

Introduction

Carbaryl is a wide-spectrum carbamate insecticide which controls over 100 species of insects on citrus, fruit, cotton, forests, lawns, nuts, ornamentals, shade trees, and other crops, as well as on poultry, livestock and pets. It is also used as a molluscicide and an acaricide. Carbaryl works whether it is ingested into the stomach of the pest or absorbed through direct contact. The chemical name for carbaryl is 1- naphthol N-methylcarbamate. Carbaryl is formulated as a solid which varies from colorless to white to gray, depending on the purity of the compound. The crystals are odorless. This chemical is stable to heat, light and acids under storage conditions. It is non-corrosive to metals, packaging materials, or application equipment. It is found in all types of formulations including baits, dusts, wettable powder, granules, oil, molassas, aqueous dispersions and suspensions.

Chemical identifying information for Carbaryl

Routes of Sevin synthesis:

1) With using naphtol-1 and phosgene:

2) With using naphtol-1 and methyl isocyanate:

3) With using naphtol-1 and methylcarbamoyl chloride:

In these routes of synthesis of Carbaryl highly toxic substances such as phosgene, methyl isocyanate and methylcarbamoyl chloride are used.

We have developed a new and cost-effective approach to Sevin synthesis without using of toxic reagents:
