| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
Cufraneb is an obsolete copper fungicide. It has not been extensively studied and so little information is available regarding its environmental fate, ecotoxicity or impacts on human health. | [Production Methods]
The industrial synthesis of cufraneb involves the complexation of copper ions, typically from copper sulphate or copper acetate, with tetrachlorophthalic acid or similar aromatic carboxylic acids. This reaction forms a stable copper-organic complex with enhanced biological activity. | [Mechanism of action]
Multi-site contact activity that inhibits the growth of fungal pathogen cells by disrupting essential cellular processes | [Pesticide Type]
Fungicide; Acaricide |
