Thiamethoxam

RTECS: RO0470000 Source/Host Chemicals: Synthetic. Appearance: Off-white to light yellow solid. Solubility: Slightly soluble in chloroform or methanol. Identity: Determined by 1H-NMR. InChi Key: NWWZPOKUUAIXIW-FLIBITNWSA-N Smiles: CN1COCN(CC2=CN=C(Cl)S2)/C1=N\[N+]([O-])=O Thiamethoxam is a broad-spectrum, systemic neonicotinoid insecticide, which means it is absorbed quickly by plants and transported to all of its parts, including pollen, where it acts to deter insect feeding. The compound gets in the way of information transfer between nerve cells by interfering with nicotinic acetylcholine receptors in the central nervous system, and eventually paralyzes the muscles of the insects. Compound can be used as analytical reference material. Product References: [1] P. Maienfisch, et al., Pest. Manag. Sci. 57, 165 (2001) , [2] R. Nauen, et al., Pest. Biochem. Phys. 76, 55 (2003)
