Epoxiconazole is a broad-spectrum fungicide. It has a low aqueous solubility and is relatively volatile. It may persist in both soil and water systems. It is not highly toxic to mammals and is not expected to bioaccumulate. Epoxiconazole is moderately toxic to birds, honeybees, earthworms and most aquatic organisms.

Epoxiconazole is a fungicide active ingredient from the class of azoles developed to protect crops.

ChEBI: 1-{[3-(2-chlorophenyl)-2-(4-fluorophenyl)oxiran-2-yl]methyl}-1H-1,2,4-triazole is an epoxide that is oxirane substituted by a 2-chlorophenyl, 4-fluorophenyl and a 1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-ylmethyl groups. It is an epoxide, a member of monochlorobenzenes, a member of monofluorobenzenes and a member of triazoles.

Epoxiconazole is commercially produced through a multi-step synthesis typical of triazole fungicides. The process involves constructing a substituted propyl chain bearing both a chlorophenyl and a fluorophenyl group, which is then linked to a 1,2,4-triazole ring. A key step includes the formation of an epoxide intermediate that ensures the molecule’s stereochemistry and biological activity.

Preventative and curative action. Sterol biosynthesis inhibitor.
