			<description><![CDATA[ <p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.lookchem.com/Dimethoate/">Dimethoate</a> is a widely used organophosphate insecticide used to kill insects on contact. It was patented
and introduced in the 1950s by American Cyanamid. Like other organophosphates, dimethoate is an anticholinesterase which disables cholinesterase, an enzyme
essential for central nervous system function.

I was struggling in solving this question which is a part of a practice exam, and I need you to be patient with me and teach me step by step how to figure out
the structure and how to read and analyze the spectra.

I attached the two 1H NMR &amp; IR spectra so you will be able to know what structure I&#39;m talking about.

<p>Now I am doing a research about producing chiral compound from olefin base prochiral substrate. I have tried to utilize short chain of olefin substrate such
as dimethyl itaconate until dibutyl itaconate, but the results were not satisfying enough. Actually I want to try other olefin substrate with more bulky group
which usually contain phenyl group. But I face a problem that usually the more bulky olefinic compounds exist in carboxylic acid form. Then I have to convert
