MONURON, also known as monuron, is a white crystalline solid or white powder with a slight odor. It has a melting point of 175°C and is classified as moderately toxic by ingestion. MONURON is a member of the class of ureas, specifically urea in which one of the nitrogens is substituted by a p-chlorophenyl group while the other is substituted by two methyl groups. It is characterized by its very low solubility in water and hydrocarbon solvents, slight solubility in oils, partial solubility in alcohols, and stability toward oxidation and moisture.

150-68-5 Usage

Uses

Used in Agriculture:
MONURON is used as a herbicide for controlling the growth of unwanted plants in agricultural fields. Its application helps to improve crop yield by reducing competition for resources such as nutrients, water, and sunlight.
Used as a Sugarcane-Flowering Suppressant:
In the sugarcane industry, MONURON is utilized as a flowering suppressant to prevent the plants from flowering prematurely. This is important because flowering can lead to a reduction in sugar content and overall yield of the sugarcane crop.
Used in Analytical Chemistry:
MONURON may be used as a reference standard in the determination of monuron levels in rice and corn using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with fluorescence detection combined with ultraviolet decomposition and post-column derivatization. This application helps to ensure the quality and safety of these staple crops by monitoring the presence of MONURON residues.

Environmental Fate

Biological. Monuron was mineralized in sewage samples obtained from a water treatment plant in Ithica, NY. (4-Chlorophenyl)urea and 4-chloroaniline were tentatively identified as metabolites (Wang et al., 1985).Soil/Plant. In soils and plants, monuron is demethylated at the terminal nitrogen atom coupled with ring hydroxylation forming 3-(2-hydroxy-4-chlorophenyl)urea and 3-(3- hydroxy-4-chlorophenyl)urea (Hartley and Kidd, 1987). Walln?efer et al. (197Photolytic. When an aqueous solution of monuron was exposed to sunlight or simulated sunlight, the major degradative pathways observed were the photooxidation and demethylation of the N-methyl groups (Crosby and Tang, 1969; Tanaka et al., 1982a),Tanaka et al. (1981) studied the photolysis of monuron in dilute aqueous solutions in order to fully characterize a substituted diphenylamine that was observed in an earlier investigation (Tanaka et al., 1977). They identified MONURON as an isomeric mixture containing 92% 2-chloro-4¢,5-bis(N¢,N¢-dimethylureido)biphenyl and 8% 5-chloro-2,4¢- bis(N¢,N¢-dimethylureido)biphenyl (Tanaka et al., 1981).Tanaka et al. (1982) undertook a study to identify the several biphenyls formed in earlier photolysis studies (Tanaka et al., 1979, 1981). They identified these compounds as 2,4¢-, 3,4¢- and 4,4¢-bis-(N¢,N¢-dimethylureido)biphenyls (fenuron biphenyls) (Ta

Check Digit Verification of cas no

The CAS Registry Mumber 150-68-5 includes 6 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 3 digits, 1,5 and 0 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 6 and 8 respectively.
Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 150-68:
(5*1)+(4*5)+(3*0)+(2*6)+(1*8)=45
45 % 10 = 5
So 150-68-5 is a valid CAS Registry Number.

Symmetrical and unsymmetrical N,N’-disubstituted as well as trisubstituted ureas/thioureas by the hydroamination of isocyanates/isothiocyanates, and various phosphathioureas by the hydrophosphination of isothiocyanates have been synthesized in good to excellent yields under catalyst-free and mild conditions. This protocol is also applicable for the efficient synthesis of chiral ureas and thioureas and common herbicides, such as fenuron and monuron.

supporting information, p. 3590 - 3600 (2021/10/07)

A 2,2,2-trifluroenthanol (TFE) promoted synthesis of unsymmetric ureas was described. This approach enabled the construction of a variety of ureas from the readily prepared and easy-to-handle dioxazolones and amines via tandem Lossen rearrangement/condensation process. The reaction featured mild conditions for the urea synthesis under metal-free conditions, which was successively applied in the scale-up synthesis of herbicides Monuro and Isoproturon.

By means of a synergistic effect, the herbicide has the beneficial effects that the a weed control effect can be improved, the use amount of the herbicide per unit area can be reduced, the herbicide use cost can be reduced, weeds that come up and do not come up can be controlled effectively, and the herbicide can be used before and after emergence.

Hydroamination of carbodiimides, isocyanates, and isothiocyanates by a bis(phosphinoselenoic amide) supported titanium(IV) complex

Bhattacharjee, Jayeeta,Das, Suman,Kottalanka, Ravi K.,Panda, Tarun K.

, p. 17824 - 17832 (2016/11/18)

The hydroamination of heterocumulenes such as carbodiimides, isocyanates, and isothiocyanates by a bis(phosphinoselenoic amide) supported titanium(iv) complex as a precatalyst is reported here. The titanium(iv) complex [{Ph2P(Se)NCH2CH2NPPh2(Se)}Ti(NMe2)2] (1) was synthesised by the reaction of tetrakis-(dimethylamido)titanium(iv) [Ti(NMe2)4] with [{Ph2P(Se)NHCH2CH2NHPPh2(Se)}] in toluene at ambient temperature. Titanium complex 1 proved to be a competent pre-catalyst for the addition of an amine N-H bond to carbodiimides, isocyanates, and isothiocyanates. The reaction scope was expanded to reactions of aliphatic and aromatic amines with phenylisocyanates and phenylisothiocyanates in toluene solvents proceeding rapidly at room temperature with 5 mol% catalyst loadings to yield the corresponding urea and thio-urea derivatives up to 99%. However, ambient temperature was needed for hydroamination of 1,3-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide. The amine addition reactions with isocyanates showed first order kinetics with respect to catalyst 1 as well as substrates. The most plausible mechanism for the hydroamination reaction was established by isolating 1,1-dimethylphenyl urea as a side product.

Transition Metal-Free Carbazole Synthesis from Arylureas and Cyclohexanones

Wu, Jun,Xie, Yanjun,Chen, Xiangui,Deng, Guo-Jun

supporting information, p. 3206 - 3211 (2016/10/21)

An efficient strategy for carbazole synthesis from arylureas and cyclohexanones under transition metal-free conditions has been developed. The combined use of potassium iodide and iodine could significantly improve the reaction efficiency to provide 2,6-disubstituted 9-arylcarbazoles in moderate to good yields. In this kind of transformation, the whole carbazole moiety (except the nitrogen atom) comes from two equivalents of cyclohexanones. (Figure presented.).

Copper-catalyzed mild nitration of protected anilines

Hernando, Elier,Castillo, Rafael R.,Rodríguez, Nuria,G?mez Arrayás, Ram?n,Carretero, Juan C.

supporting information, p. 13854 - 13859 (2016/02/18)

A practical copper-catalyzed direct nitration of protected anilines, by using one equivalent of nitric acid as the nitrating agent, has been developed. This procedure features mild reaction conditions, wide structural scope (with regard to both N-protecting group and arene substitution), and high functional-group tolerance. Dinitration with two equivalents of nitric acid is also feasible. Practical and reliable: A Cu-catalyzed selective nitration of para- and ortho-substituted aniline derivatives by using one equivalent of HNO3 has been developed that produces water as the only stoichiometric byproduct (see scheme; PG=protecting group). This method is compatible with strongly electron-deficient substrates, enabling dinitration (by using 2.0 equiv of HNO3). This method allows for a rapid access to relevant nitrogen-containing heterocyclic architectures.
