Fluthiacet-methyl is a cis - trans mixture from the group of thiadiazoles or imines and a derivative of fluthiacet .
Extraction and presentation
Fluthiacet-methyl can be produced by a multi-stage reaction beginning with the reaction of 4-chloro-2-fluoroacetanilide with disulphur dichloride in the presence of aluminum chloride , removal of the protective group and generation of the corresponding mercaptonanilline, reaction of the intermediate product with carbon disulphide in the presence of an amine and subsequent reaction with methyl chloroformate , Hexahydropyridazine and phosgene can be obtained.
properties
Fluthiacet-methyl is a yellowish solid that is practically insoluble in water.
use
Fluthiacet-methyl is used as a herbicide . It was discovered by Kumiai Chemical , investigated by Novartis for its potential uses and first approved in the USA in 1999. It is used against annual broadleaf weeds in soybean , corn and cotton plantations. The effect is based on the inhibition of protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PROTOX).
Admission
Fluthiacet-methyl is not on the list of active ingredients for pesticides permitted in the European Union . In Germany, Austria and Switzerland, no pesticides with this active ingredient are permitted.
