Microbial metabolism of N-methylcarbamate insecticide. II. Synthesis of metabolites of o-sec-butylphenyl N-methylcarbamate.

Abstract
The characterized and anticipated metabolites of o-sec-butylphenyl N-methylcarbamate (BPMC) were synthesized. Preliminary experiments with respect to the determination of configurations of o-(2-hydroxy-1-methylpropyl)phenyl N-methylcarbamate, main metabolites of Aspergillus niger van Tieghem were described.
