Abstract
O,Odiepthyl O-p-methysufinylphenylphosphorothionate (Bayer 25141) its dimethyl analogue, and several reduced and oxidized derivatives were investigated as contact and systemic insecticides. The more active compounds studied were of the same order of contact toxicity as parathion and were also effective systemic insecticides. In plant tissue, the sulfoxides are oxidized to sulfones and also appear to isomerize to S-ethyl-isomers.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
