Aldimorph is a chemical compound from the group of morpholines . It was brought onto the market by Fahlberg-List in 1980 as a fungicide and is no longer approved.

Stereoisomers

The active ingredient contains two similarly substituted stereocenters on the heterocyclic ring, consequently there are three stereoisomers:

(2 R , 6 R ) -4-dodecyl-2,6-dimethylmorpholine,
(2 S , 6 S ) -4-dodecyl-2,6-dimethylmorpholine and
meso -4-dodecyl-2,6-dimethylmorpholine.

composition

In addition to the main component, aldimorph consists of various 4- N -alkyl-2,6-dimethylmorpholines.

use

Under the trade name Falimorph , it was used against powdery mildew in grain cultivation.

effect

Straight-chain N- alkyl-2,6-dimethylmorphine have a high fungicidal toxicity with chain lengths of C ₁₀ to C ₁₄ . Although they are less effective than the branched compounds, they are more phytotoxic.

Admission

No plant protection products containing this active ingredient are permitted in the EU or Switzerland .
