Dinosulfon is used in pesticidal compositions. A toxic chemical compound to aquatic organisms. | [Production Methods]
Dinosulfon is produced commercially through a controlled multi step organic synthesis that yields its thiocarbonate ester structure. Industrial production begins with nitration of a substituted phenolic precursor to introduce nitro groups, followed by alkylation with a branched heptyl side chain. This intermediate is then reacted with methylthiocarbonyl chloride (or similar thiocarbonyl reagents) to form the S methyl O [2 (1 methylheptyl) 4,6 dinitrophenyl] thiocarbonate, the active ingredient. The crude product undergoes purification by solvent extraction and recrystallisation to remove impurities, and is subsequently dried and milled into a stable powder. | [Mechanism of action]
Contact with protective and curative action. Respiration inhibitor. Uncoupler of oxidative phosphorylation via disruption of proton gradient. | [Pesticide Type]
Acaricide; Fungicide; Insecticide |
