As molluscicide (against snails carrying bilharzia flukes).
ChEBI: Trifenmorph is a member of morpholines.
Trifenmorph is commercially produced by reacting morpholine with trityl chloride to form N-tritylmorpholine. The synthesis involves the alkylation of morpholine, a cyclic amine, with trityl chloride (triphenylmethyl chloride) under controlled conditions, typically in the presence of a base such as triethylamine or sodium carbonate.
A highly selective neurotoxin to aquatic and semi-aquatic snails, acts by increasing the intracellular chloride levels
