Abstract

The organophosphorus insecticide phosmet is used in plant protection as well as against parasites on animals. Phosmet showed numerous photoinduced reaction pathways, which first were studied in the presence of model environments for animal fur lipids (eg, wool wax). The model solvents for saturated and unsaturated lipids were cyclohexane and cyclohexene, whereas methanol and 2-propanol were used as models for primary and ...
