ChEBI: Dicamba-olamine is an organoammonium salt that is the ethanolamine salt of dicamba. It has a role as an agrochemical and a herbicide. It contains a 3,6-dichloro-2-methoxybenzoate. | [Production Methods]
The industrial manufacture of dicamba-olamine follows the same broad pattern used for other amine salts of phenoxy- and benzoic-acid herbicides: first produce purified dicamba acid, then convert it into the desired amine salt under tightly controlled neutralisation conditions. The upstream steps mirror standard dicamba production, constructing the dimethyl-chlorobenzoic acid core through halogenation and methylation chemistry, followed by carboxylation and purification to yield technical-grade dicamba acid. To form the olamine salt, this acid is dissolved or slurried in a suitable solvent and reacted with an appropriate alkanolamine at a defined pH and temperature, ensuring complete salt formation without leaving excess free amine or unreacted acid. | [Mechanism of action]
Selective, systemic, absorbed through leaves and translocates throughout plant. Synthetic auxin. | [Pesticide Type]
