Overview

(2-methyl-2,3-dihydro-1-benzofuran-7-yl) N-methylcarbamate (CAS 1563-67-3) is a carbamate insecticide with high acute toxicity across multiple exposure routes. This specialized carbamate compound represents a significant class of organophosphate alternatives in pest control applications. With its molecular formula C11H13NO3 and molecular weight of 207.23 g/mol, this substance exhibits potent biological activity through acetylcholinesterase inhibition, making it effective against various insect species while requiring careful handling protocols. The compound's benzofuran ring system combined with the N-methylcarbamate functional group provides enhanced stability and bioavailability compared to simpler carbamate structures. Its classification under Acute Toxicity Category 3 across oral, dermal, and inhalation routes necessitates stringent safety measures, reflected in its GHS06 pictogram and "Danger" signal word. Transportation falls under ADR Class 6.1, indicating its status as a toxic substance requiring specialized logistics. Key safety considerations include potential cholinergic effects upon exposure, demanding appropriate personal protective equipment and controlled handling environments. Unlike some related compounds such as 1,1-dichloro-1-nitroethane which serves different industrial purposes, this carbamate specifically targets nervous system pathways in target organisms. Primary applications include agricultural pest control formulations, specialty insecticide manufacturing, and research applications in entomology studies. The compound's efficacy profile makes it valuable for integrated pest management systems where resistance to other insecticide classes has developed. Industrial users also employ this substance in developing novel pest control technologies and conducting comparative toxicology studies. Its well-characterized pharmacological profile supports regulatory submissions and product development initiatives. OYSI maintains reliable supply chains for this technical-grade carbamate, supporting European customers with consistent quality and regulatory compliance documentation.
