Definition
ChEBI: Methoprotryne is a member of 1,3,5-triazines.
Production Methods
Methoprotyne is commercially synthesised through esterification of methoxy-substituted dodecadienoic acid with isopropanol. In industrial production, methoprotyne is derived from a multi-step organic synthesis starting with long-chain unsaturated alcohols and acids. The key reaction involves forming the active compound.
Mechanism of action
Selective, absorbed through roots and foliage and translocated. Photosynthetic electron transport inhibitor at the photosystem II receptor site.
