| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Uses]
Methoxyphenone is a pesticidal compound, and it is used in preparation of Nitrones as herbicides. | [Definition]
ChEBI: Methoxyphenone is a member of benzophenones. | [Production Methods]
No public source provides a proprietary industrial synthesis for methoxyphenone, but its production can be inferred from its chemical structure and standard benzophenone manufacturing chemistry. The molecule would be produced by forming the benzophenone core through Friedel–Crafts acylation or an equivalent aromatic acylation route, typically reacting a 3 methylphenyl acyl chloride (or related activated acylating agent) with a 4 methoxy 3 methylbenzene derivative under Lewis acid catalysis. After the acylation step, the crude benzophenone would be purified by solvent extraction, washing, and crystallisation to achieve the technical grade active ingredient. | [Mechanism of action]
Inhibits photosynthesis. Selective - induces chlorosis | [Pesticide Type]
