ChEBI: Dinocton 6 is a C-nitro compound. | [Production Methods]
Dinocton is commercially synthesised by a process begins with the preparation of the dinitrophenol intermediate, which is reacted with methyl chloroformate in the presence of a base such as pyridine or triethylamine to form the methyl carbonate ester. This reaction is typically carried out in an organic solvent like dichloromethane under controlled temperature to ensure selectivity and minimise side reactions. | [Mechanism of action]
Contact with protective and curative action. Respiration inhibitor. Uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation via disruption of proton gradient. | [Pesticide Type]
Fungicide; Acaricide |
