Usage And Synthesis

Uses

Tridemorph is a systemic fungicide which provides effective eradicant and protective control of powdery mildews, rusts and leaf blotch in cereals (especially caused by Evisyphe graminis) and in bananas.

Definition

ChEBI: 2,6-dimethyl-4-tridecylmorpholine is a member of the class of morpholines that is 2,6-dimethylmorpholine in which the hydrogen attached to the nitrogen is replaced by a tridecyl group. The configuration at positions 2 and 6 is unknown or unspecified. It has a role as an antifungal agrochemical. It is a member of morpholines and a tertiary amino compound.

Safety Profile

Moderately toxic by ingestion andskin contact. An experimental teratogen. Mutation datareported. When heated to decomposition it emits toxicfumes of NOx.

Metabolic pathway

Limited information is available to describe the degradation and metabolic fate of tridemorph. Hydroxylation of the tridecyl side-chain and the hydroxylation/oxidation of one of the methyl moieties in the morpholine ring were the primary metabolic reactions in animals (Scheme 1).

Degradation

Tridemorph (1) is stable to hydrolytic degradation (<50 °C). It degraded rapidly after being exposed to UV light with a half-life (DT₅₀) of 16.5 hours (PM).
