Abstract
O-Methylester groups constitute a part in a variety of well-known organophosphorus insecticides. Such compounds, e.g. Dipterex and Rogor [1], were found to undergo in vivo [2–4] as well as in vitro [5]P—OCH3 cleavage, thus liberating methanol. The degradation of methanol in mammals has been extensively studied [6, 7] and more recently its fate in the cotton leaf worm has been investigated [8].
