ChEBI: A potassium salt resulting from the reaction of equimolar amounts of clofencet and potassium hydroxide. It is used as a chemical hybridisation agent for commercial hybrid seed production. It is not approved for use within the European Union. | [Production Methods]
Clofencet potassium is produced by first synthesising technical-grade clofencet through the standard aryloxyacetanilide route, where the substituted phenoxy fragment and the acetanilide component are constructed and then coupled to yield the free acid. Once purified to specification, the acid is converted into the potassium salt by controlled neutralisation with potassium hydroxide in aqueous or mixed solvent media, forming a stable, water soluble salt suitable for formulation. | [Mechanism of action]
