OXYCARBOXIN

Chemical properties

Oxydisulfoton is a white corrosive solid.

Definition

ChEBI: An anilide obtained by formal condensation of the amino group of aniline with the carboxy group of 2-methyl-5,6-dihydro-4,4-dioxo-1,4-oxathiine-3-carboxylic acid. A fungicide for the control of rust diseases on ornamentals, cereals and nursery trees as wel as fairy rings on turf.

Agricultural Uses

Fungicide: Registered as a foliar systemic fungicide for use against rust on carnations and greenhouse geranium. Not approved for use in EU countries. Registered for use in the U.S. and Canada

Trade name

CARBOJECT®[C]; DYNAM®; F461®;FUNGISOL®[C]; PLANTVAX®; PLANT WAX®; VITAVEX®

Metabolic pathway

The oxathiin ring of the oxycarboxin undergoes a glass-catalyzed ring-opening reaction resulting in a simple step for hydrolytic removal of an acetyl group to give 2-(vinylsulfonyl)acetanilide in aqueous solution. The decomposition of oxycarboxin involves the container and is surface-type dependent.
