Benalaxyl-M is a fungicide that is widely used. It has a moderate aqueous solubility and is quite volatile. Based on its chemical properties it would not be expected to leach to groundwater. It is moderately persistent in soil systems but may be persistent in water. It is moderately toxic to mammals, birds, most aquatic organisms, honeybees and earthworms.

(R)-Benalaxyl is the R-enantiomer of Benalaxyl (B131900) an acylamino acid fungicide.

ChEBI: A methyl N-(2,6-dimethylphenyl)-N-(phenylacetyl)alaninate that is the more active R-enantiomer of benalaxyl.

Benalaxyl-M is produced commercially through a multi-step chemical synthesis that isolates the active R-enantiomer of benalaxyl, ensuring higher biological efficacy. The process typically involves asymmetric synthesis or chiral resolution techniques under tightly controlled conditions to maintain enantiomeric purity. The racemic mixture of benalaxyl is commercially produced through a multi-step chemical synthesis process, beginning with the formation of its core phenylamide structure. The active ingredient, methyl N-phenylacet yl-N-2,6-xylyl-DL-alaninate, is synthesized by reacting phenylacetic acid derivatives with substituted xylylamine and alanine esters under controlled conditions.

A systemic fungicide with protective, curative and eradication action. Disrupts fungal nucleic acid synthesis - RNA ploymerase 1.
