Description
Myclobutanil is a broad-spectrum systemic foliar-applied
fungicide of the substituted triazole chemical class of
compounds, with protective, eradicative, and curative action. It
disrupts membrane function in fungi by inhibition of sterol
biosynthesis.
It is produced by the alkylation of 4-chlorophenylacetonitrile
with butyl chloride, followed by treatment with dibromomethane
and sodium hydroxide in dimethyl sulfoxide. The
resulting intermediate is then reacted with the potassium salt of
1,2,4-triazole in dimethyl formamide.
Commercially, myclobutanil is presented as different
formulations or preparations with concentrations up to 60%
active ingredient (a.i.). It is formulated as a wettable powder
(2–40% a.i.) or as an emulsifiable concentrate (1–25% a.i.),
granular (<1% a.i.), dust (5% a.i.), dry flowable (60% a.i.), and
ready to use (<1% a.i.) solutions to be used in agriculture or in
domestic activities by homeowners.
It is also used at lower concentrations in combination
with other agrochemicals such as pyretroids (permethrin),
fludioxonil, mefenoxam, azoxistrobin, mancozeb, sulfur, or
fluoxastrobin.
Chemical Properties
White to pale yellow crystalline solid.

Potential Exposure
Myclobutanil is a nitrile compound
and a triazole fungicide. It is widely used to control powdery
mildew, rust, sclerotina, spot blight, rot, black rot and
similar fungi on a variety of food and nonfood crops.
Nitriles can be derived from salts of cyanide, but are usually
less toxic.
Environmental Fate
Relevant physicochemical properties are estimated Koc value
of 950, log Kow of 2.94, estimated Henry’s law constant of
4.3×10-9 atmm3 mol-1 at 25 ℃, vapor pressure of 1.6 106
mmHg, and water solubility of 140 mg l-1.
In soil under aerobic conditions, myclobutanil exhibits high
to very high persistence, and medium to low mobility, forming
the minor soil metabolite myclobutanil butyric acid which
exhibits low to moderate persistence and very high mobility in
soil. Both adsorptions are affected significantly by differing soil
pH. Volatilization from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be
an important fate process. The biodegradation half-life of
myclobutanil in silt loam soil is about 66 days. No degradation
was observed under anaerobic conditions.
In aquatic environments, it is expected to adsorb to suspended
solids and sediment. Volatilization from water surfaces
is not expected. In dark natural sediment water systems,
myclobutanil partitioned from the water column to sediment,
where it exhibited very high persistence. Aqueous solutions of
myclobutanil decompose on exposure to light with half-lives of
222 days in sterile water, 0.8 days in sensitized sterile water,
and 25 days in pond water. Hydrolysis was not observed after
28 days at pH values of 5, 7, and 9 at 28 ℃.
An estimated bioconcentration factor of 37 suggests the
potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is moderate,
provided the compound is not metabolized by the
organism.
In the ambient atmosphere, it is expected to exist in both
the vapor and particulate phases. Vapor-phase myclobutanil is degraded by reaction with photochemically produced hydroxyl
radicals; the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be
2.3 days. Particulate-phase myclobutanil may be removed from
the air by wet or dry deposition.
Metabolic pathway
There is limited published information available on the metabolism of
myclobutanil. In plants and mammals, the butyl group is oxidised to an
alcohol and a ketone. In soils, substantial degradation of the molecule
occurs under aerobic conditions.

Degradation
Myclobutanil is stable under normal storage conditions (PM). Aqueous
solutions decompose on exposure to light. The DT50 is 222 days in sterile
water and 25 days in pond water. It was not hydrolysed in 28 days at pH
5,7 and 9 (28 °C).
Toxicity evaluation
Target organ in animal studies is the liver, as exposure to myclobutanil
resulted in liver hypertrophy or hepatotoxicity mediated
byCYP induction; also reproductivemodificationswere reported.
Triazole fungicides are designed to inhibit the fungal CYP51
enzyme but can also modulate the expression and function of
mammalian CYP genes and enzymes. Triazoles affected the
expression of numerous CYP genes in rat liver and testis,
including multiple CYP2C and CYP3A isoforms as well as other
xenobiotic metabolizing enzyme (XME) and transporter genes.
For some genes, myclobutanil and other triazoles had similar
effects on expression, suggesting possible common mechanisms
of action. Many of these CYP, XME, and transporter
genes are regulated by xenobiotic-sensing nuclear receptors,
and hierarchical clustering of CAR/PXR-regulated genes
demonstrated the similarities of toxicogenomic responses in
liver between all triazoles and in testis between myclobutanil
and triadimefon. Triazoles also affected expression of multiple
genes involved in steroid hormone metabolism in the two
tissues.
Conazole fungicides induce a thyroid response in rats.
Myclobutanil produced a dose-dependent decrease in T3 and
T4, related to an induction of uridine diphospho-glucuronosyl
transferase (UDPGT), the T4-metabolizing enzyme, although
thyroid hormone levels did not differ from control values after
90 days and TSH was not increased in any exposure group.
Incompatibilities
Decomposes on exposure to strong light.
Incompatible with oxidizers (chlorates, nitrates, peroxides,
permanganates, perchlorates, chlorine, bromine, fluorine,
etc.); contact may cause fires or explosions. Keep away from
alkaline materials, strong bases, strong acids, oxoacids, epoxides.
The triazoles are sensitive to heat, friction, and impact.
Sensitivity varies with the type substitution to the triazole
ring. Metal chelated and halogen substitution of the triazole
ring make for a particularly heat sensitive material. Azido
and nitro derivatives have been employed as high explosives.
No matter the derivative these materials should be treated as
explosives. Nitriles may polymerize in the presence of
metals and some metal compounds. They are incompatible
with acids; mixing nitriles with strong oxidizing acids can
lead to extremely violent reactions. Nitriles are generally
incompatible with other oxidizing agents such as peroxides
and epoxides. The combination of bases and nitriles can produce
hydrogen cyanide. Nitriles are hydrolyzed in both aqueous
acid and base to give carboxylic acids (or salts of
carboxylic acids). These reactions generate heat. Peroxides
convert nitriles to amides. Nitriles can react vigorously with
reducing agents. Acetonitrile and propionitrile are soluble in
water, but nitriles higher than propionitrile have low aqueous
solubility. They are also insoluble in aqueous acids.
Waste Disposal
Consult with environmental
regulatory agencies for guidance on acceptable disposal
practices. Contact a licensed disposal facility about surplus
and nonrecyclable solutions. Burn in a chemical incinerator
equipped with an afterburner and scrubber. Extra care must be exercised as the material in an organic solvent is highly
flammable. In accordance with 40CFR165, follow recommendations
for the disposal of pesticides and pesticide containers.
Containers must be disposed of properly by
following package label directions or by contacting your
local or federal environmental control agency, or by contacting
your regional EPA office. Incineration or permanganate
oxidation.
Check Digit Verification of cas no
The CAS Registry Mumber 88671-89-0 includes 8 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 5 digits, 8,8,6,7 and 1 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 8 and 9 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 88671-89:
(7*8)+(6*8)+(5*6)+(4*7)+(3*1)+(2*8)+(1*9)=190
190 % 10 = 0
So 88671-89-0 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
