| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
Morfamquat, usually used a salt, is a herbicide not widely used in the developed world. It is moderately toxic to mammals and a neurotoxin as well as being a known skin and eye irritant. Little is known about its environmental fate or its ecotoxicology. | [Production Methods]
Morfamquat is commercially produced a process that involves reacting 4,4'-bipyridine with chloromethyl morpholinylcarboxylate derivatives under alkylation conditions, typically in polar solvents like acetonitrile or dimethylformamide, to yield the final active compound. | [Mechanism of action]
Broad-spectrum, non-residual activity with contact and some desiccant action. Photosystem I (electron transport) inhibitor. | [Pesticide Type]
Herbicide; Metabolite |
