Usage

General Description

Dimethyldithiocarbamic acid ethyl ester, also known as ethyl dimethyldithiocarbamate, is a chemical compound that is commonly used as a fungicide and bactericide in agricultural applications. It is an ethyl ester of dimethyldithiocarbamic acid and has the chemical formula C5H11NS2. Dimethyldithiocarbamic acid ethyl ester acts by inhibiting the enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of essential substances in microorganisms, leading to their growth inhibition. Dimethyldithiocarbamic acid ethyl ester is also used as a vulcanization accelerator in the production of rubber and as a reagent in organic synthesis. Due to its potential toxicity and environmental impact, its use is regulated in many countries.

Pesticidal compositions containing phosphoric esters and divalent sulphur compounds

Pesticidal composition comprising: a pesticidal, phosphoric ester the molecule of which has at least one alkyl group of 1 to 3 carbon atoms, 0.05 to 10% of an agent stabilizing the said ester against decomposition by protonisation, together with adjuvants characterized in that the stabilizing agent comprises at least one sulphur compound containing per molecule at least one divalent sulphur atom of which one valence is bonded to an atom chosen from sulphur, carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, and metals capable of giving a salt, the other valence being bonded to an atom chosen from hydrogen, the carbon atom already noted, a second carbon atom, the nitrogen atom already noted, a second nitrogen atom, the metal atom already noted in the case of a metal of valence greater than one, a second atom of metal and oxygen when the first valence is not attached to an atom of hydrogen, the proportion of sulphur calculated with reference to the weight of the sulphur compound being between 5 and 99%. Process for stabilizing a phosphoric ester of which the molecule possesses at least one alkyl group containing 1 to 3 carbon atoms characterized in that there is added to the phosphoric ester or to a mixture which contains it, 0.05 to 10% calculated on the weight of the phosphoric acid ester of an agent capable of stabilizing the said phosphoric ester against protonisation and comprising at least one sulphur compound such as that defined thereupon.
