Production Methods
The commercial production process of indolauxipyr cyanomethyl is not available in open literature. However, based on its structure, its production process would probably begin with the preparation of the substituted indole or indole carboxylic acid precursor. Next an auxinic aryl oxy or heteroaryl oxy linkage would be introduced through nucleophilic aromatic substitution or ester formation. Finally, the cyanomethyl group is attached using a halomethyl nitrile or activated cyanomethylating reagent under controlled conditions. Purification and crystallisation of the technical material would complete the process.
Mechanism of action
Synthetic auxin, It causes uncontrolled cell division and elongation, ultimately causing plant death in targeted weeds.
