It is a white powder, soluble in organic solvents such as methanol, ethanol, and DMSO. It comes from the rhizomes of Imperata cylindrica, the rhizomes of Phragmites australis, and the seeds and roots of Coix lachryma-jobi. | [Uses]
6-Methoxybenzoxazolinone is an intermdiate in the synthesis of DIMBOA-4-O-β-D-glucuronide which is a metabolite of DIMBOA which acts as an antifungal and antialgal agent in crops. The benzoxazinone group within the structure allows for these effects. | [Definition]
