ethyl 2-[4-[(6-chlorobenzothiazol-2-yl)oxy]phenoxy]propionate

Fenthiaprop-ethyl is commercially produced by a process that begins with the preparation of fenthiaprop acid, a phenoxypropionic acid derivative containing a 6-chlorobenzothiazol-2-yloxy moiety. This acid is then reacted with ethanol in the presence of an acid catalyst or coupling agent to form the ethyl ester, enhancing its lipophilicity and plant uptake.

Selective. Acetyl CoA carboxylase inhibitor (ACCase) - distrupts fatty acid biosynthesis and lipid formation.
