Difenzoquat methyl sulfate is a chemical compound from the group of pyrazolium derivatives .
Extraction and presentation
Difenzoquat methyl sulfate can be obtained by a multi-stage reaction from acetophenone with benzaldehyde and subsequent reaction of the respective intermediate products with bromine , sodium methoxide , methyl hydrazine and dimethyl sulfate .
properties
Difenzoquat methyl sulfate is a colorless solid that is readily soluble in water. It is poorly soluble in most organic solvents.
use
Difenzoquat methyl sulfate is used as a herbicide to contain oats in wheat and barley , the carrier of the effect being the 1,2-methyl-3,5-diphenylpyrazolium ion (difenzoquat ion). The herbicidal properties of the compound were discovered by American Cyanamid in 1973 and approved in 1975. Difenzoquat can lead to yellowing of the leaves if it is used on cereal crops that are stressed by cold and wet or hot and dry weather or lack of nutrients.
Admission
In EU countries such as Germany, Austria and Switzerland, no pesticides containing this active ingredient are permitted.
