Triflusulfuron-methyl is a chemical compound from the group of sulfonylureas and a herbicide introduced by DuPont in the 1990s .

Extraction and presentation

Triflusulfuron-methyl can be obtained starting from 2-nitro-3-methylbenzoic acid methyl ester and benzyl mercaptan . Their product reacts further with sodium hypochlorite and t -butyldimethylsilylamine . Then o- phenyl- N [4-dimethyl-2-amino-6 (2.22-trifluoroethoxy)] - 1,3,5-triazinyl carbamate is added.

use

Triflusulfuron-methyl is used as a systemic herbicide against broad-leaved weeds and grass weeds in sugar beet cultivation . It works by inhibiting acetolactate synthase (ALS inhibitor). The resistance of the crop is based on a very rapid metabolism (half-life <1h).

Admission

In Germany, Austria and Switzerland, plant protection products with triflusulfuron-methyl as an active ingredient are approved ( Debut , Safari ).
