Uses
Sedaxane is a broad-spectrum seed treatment fungicide used for control of seed- and soil-borne diseases in a broad range of crops. It inhibits fungal respiration by binding to the succinate dehydrogenase complex in the fungal mitochondrium.
Definition
ChEBI: N-{2-[1,1'-bi(cyclopropyl)-2-yl]phenyl}-3-(difluoromethyl)-1-methyl-1pyrazole-4-carboxamide is an aromatic amide obtained by formal condensation of the carboxy group of 3-(difluoromethyl)-1-methylpyrazole-4-carboxylic acid with the amino group of 2-[1,1'-bi(cyclopropyl)-2-yl]aniline. It is an aromatic amide, an organofluorine compound, a member of pyrazoles, a ring assembly and a member of cyclopropanes.
Production Methods
Sedaxane is commercially produced via a process that involves constructing a difluoromethyl-substituted pyrazole ring and coupling it with a bicyclopropyl-aryl amide moiety. This multi-step process requires precise control of stereochemistry and fluorination to ensure biological activity and environmental stability.
Mechanism of action
Broad-spectrum, Succinate dehydrogenase inhibitor
