Profoxydim is a mixture of several isomeric chemical compounds from the group of cyclohexene oximes . Profoxydim was introduced by BASF in 1998 .
properties
Profoxydim is a colorless and odorless liquid. It is stable to hydrolysis and photolysis , but is changing depending on the pH value by oxidation in sulfoxides to ( DT 50 value between 30 and 300 days).
Stereochemistry
The profoxydim molecule has several stereocenters : the carbon atoms C-2 (in the isopropyl group ) and C-5 (linking atom of the thiopyran radical ) are asymmetrically substituted and therefore chiral ; at the oxime moiety can also ( EZ ) isomerism occur. In the cyclohexanone ring there is an enol grouping that enables keto-enol tautomerism .
The isomers are usually used as a mixture.
use
Profoxydim is used as a systemic herbicide in rice cultivation.
The active ingredient inhibits acetyl-CoA carboxylase in fatty acid biosynthesis.
Admission
In some EU countries, plant protection products with this active ingredient are approved, but not in Germany, Austria or Switzerland.
