Potential Exposure

Mefluidide is an anilide herbicide and plant growth regulator used to control ornamental and nonornamental woody plants, ground cover, hedges, trees, turfgrass, and broadleaf weeds. Both the diethanolamine and potassium salts are actively used in the United States Not refistered for use in the EU.

Environmental Fate

Soil. Rapidly degrades in soil forming 5-amino-2,4-dimethyltrifluoromethane sulfone anilide as the major metabolite (half-life <1 week) (Hartley and Kidd, 1987).

Preparation method of herbicide-mefluidide

The invention relates to the field of herbicide, in particular to a preparation method of herbicide-mefluidide. The preparation method includes following steps: preparing 5-amino-2, 4-dimethyl trifluoromethyl aminophenyl sulfone, adding 100g of 2, 4-dimethyl metaphenylene diamine and 270g of N, N-dimethyl formamide into a four-opening flask of 500mL while stirring, feeding 112.5g of trifluoromethyl sulfuryl fluoride at 20 DEG C, and stirring for reaction for 2h; rising temperature for reaction at 90 DEG C for 10h, cooling to 30 DEG C after reaction is finished, adding 14.5% sodium hydroxide solution, heating mixed liquid for distillation, recycling N, N-dimethyl formamide, finishing distillation when distillate is neutral, using 500mL of dichloromethane to wash an aqueous phase; using diluted hydrochloric acid for acidification and sucking filtration to remove impurities, using an extraction agent to adjust pH of filtrate to neutral to obtain solid precipitate, performing sucking filtration to obtain an intermediate-5-amino-2, 4-dimethyl trifluoromethyl aminophenyl sulfone, and drying to obtain 180g of the herbicide. The preparation method is simple in process, safe and stable in reaction and mild in reaction condition, production cost is lowered greatly, and production efficiency is improved.

Substituted pyridinesulfonamide compounds or their salts, process for preparing the same, and herbicides containing the same

A substituted pyridinesulfonamide compound or its salt represented by the following general formula (I): wherein R1 is an unsubstituted or substituted alkyl group; R2 is an unsubstituted or substituted alkyl group, or an unsubstituted or substituted alkoxy group; and X and Y are each independently a member selected from the group consisting of alkyl groups and alkoxy groups, is disclosed. This compound is useful as the effective ingredient of a herbicide showing a wide weed-control spectrum even if used in a small amount.

Synergistic herbicidal compositions

Synergistic herbicidal activity is displayed by compositions comprising the following two components: (a) a pyrrolidone of the formula STR1 and (b) an acetanilide of the formula STR2 in which R1 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, C1 -C4 alkyl, and chlorine; R2 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, C2 -C6 alkoxyalkyl, and C3 -C6 carbalkoxyalkyl; R3 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, C1 -C4 alkyl, and chlorine; R4 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, C1 -C4 alkyl, and chlorine; and R5 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, C1 -C4 alkyl, chlorine, and --NHSO2 CF3, at a weight ratio of (a) to (b) of from about 0.1:1 to about 50:1.
