Methfuroxam is an analytical standard used for biochemical research.
ChEBI: Methfuroxam is a secondary carboxamide resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxylic acid group of 2,4,5-trimethyl-3-furoic acid with the amino group of aniline. An obsolete fungicide formerly used to control Basidiomycetes pathogens on cereal crops. It has a role as an antifungal agrochemical. It is an anilide, a secondary carboxamide, a member of furans and a furanilide fungicide.
Systemic. Inhibits glucose and acetate oxidative metabolism.
Methfuroxam was prepared by mixing aniline with magnesium metal and sodium hydride and reacting with methyl 2,4,5-trimethylfuran-3-carboxylate.
