ulture. | Metabolic pathway | Butocarboxin is a structural isomer of aldicarb. Butoxycarboxim is the
sulfur oxidation (sulfone) product of butocarboxim. Limited information
is available to describe the degradation and metabolic fate of these two
compounds. As with aldicarb, oxidation of the sulfur molecule of butocarboxim
to butocarboxim sulfoxide and butoxycarboxim is the primary
photolytic and metabolic reaction in soils, plants and animals (Scheme 1). | Degradation | Butocarboxim (1) is stable to hydrolytic degradation (pH 5-7, up to 50 °C,
PM) and is stable under UV light irradiation. It degrades under strong
acidic and alkaline conditions.
Butoxycarboxim (2) is susceptible to alkaline hydrolysis (DT50 values of
500, 18 and 16 days in pH 5, 7 and 9, respectively, PM). It is also stable
under UV light irradiation. |
