| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
Difenopenten ethyl is an obsolete herbicide. Very little information is available regarding its environmental fate, ecotoxicity or impact on human health. | [Production Methods]
ifenopenten ethyl is commercially produced by a process that begins with the preparation of difenopenten acid, a diphenyl ether derivative containing a trifluoromethyl group and a pentenoic acid moiety. This acid undergoes acid-catalysed esterification with ethanol under controlled temperature and solvent conditions to yield the ethyl ester. | [Mechanism of action]
Selective - rapidly absorbed through the roots and leaf surfaces but apoplastic and symplastic translocation is very limited | [Pesticide Type]
Herbicide; Graminicide |
