Easy as 1,2,3: Reaction of methyl carbamate, triethyl orthoformate, and readily available alkenes provides a highly practical preparation of protected aminocyclopropanes. The reaction proceeds with preferential cis addition to alkenes, and cleavage of the methyl carbamate gives the free aminocyclopropanes

To identify potential human-safe insecticides against the malaria mosquito we undertook an investigation of the structure-activity relationship of aryl methylcarbamates inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase (AChE). Compounds bearing a β-branched 2-alkoxy or 2-thioalkyl group were found to possess good selectivity for inhibition

This paper described a simple, rapid and efficient method for the determination of N-methyl carbamate pesticides in tomato, cucumber, carrot and lettuce samples by dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction coupled with HPLC-diode array detection. Some experimental parameters that influenced the extraction efficiency
