Chemical Properties
Pure product is white crystalline solid. m.p.162～163℃, vapor pressure 8.9×10-3Pa) (20℃), relative density 1.28. It can be solved in many organic solvents such as acetone, methanol, ethyl acetate, chloroform and dimethylformamide, and is difficult to be solved in water (8.41mg/L), and the raw material (content of 85%) is white or light yellow crystalline powder, m.p.159～160 ℃.
Uses
Uniconazole-P is a plant growth retardant and a gibberellin biosynthesis inhibitor. Uniconazole-P can promote the formation of flower buds in some woody plants and influence the sex expression of cucumbers, increasing the female[1].
Definition
ChEBI: A (1E)-1-(4-chlorophenyl)-4,4-dimethyl-2-(1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)pent-1-en-3-ol that has S configuration at the chiral centre. It is the enantiomer of (R)-uniconazole; the fungicide and p
ant growth retardant uniconazole is the racemic mixture comprising (R)-uniconazole and uniconazole-P.
