Dinocap is a mixture of chemical compounds from the group of substituted carboxylic acid esters and dinitrophenols .

properties

Dinocap is a flammable dark brown liquid which is practically insoluble in water. The compound is a mixture of ( RS ) -2,6-dinitro-4- and ( RS ) -2,4-dinitro-6-octylphenyl crotonates in which "octyl" is a mixture of 1-methylheptyl, 1-ethylhexyl and 1 -Propylpentyl groups, with the commercial products containing approximately a 2: 1 ratio of 6-octyl and 4-octyl isomers.

Dinocap is approximately 22% meptyldinocap , its most active isomer.

use

Dinocap is used as an active ingredient in crop protection products. It works as a fungicide and partly as an acaricide . The substance was first used in 1930. It was first approved in the 1950s.

Admission

A plant protection product with the active ingredient Dinocap was approved in Austria. In Switzerland there were several approved preparations against powdery mildew , but all approvals have now been suspended. In the EU states including Germany and Austria as well as in Switzerland no pesticides with this active substance are allowed anymore.
