Pyrametostrobin is a novel fungicide. Also, it is derived from 1-Methyl-2-nitrobenzene (N572306), which is a toxic pollutant of the environment because of its large scale use in the production of explosives. It is a useful synthetic intermediate. It shows carcinogenic activity in rats.
ChEBI: Pyrametostrobin is a carbamate ester that is the methyl ester of (2-{[(1,4-dimethyl-3-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-5-yl)oxy]methyl}phenyl)methoxycarbamic acid. A fungicide that is active against powdery mildew and other diseases. It has a role as a mitochondrial cytochrome-bc1 complex inhibitor and an antifungal agrochemical. It is a carbamate ester, an aromatic ether, a member of pyrazoles, a methoxycarbanilate strobilurin antifungal agent and a carbanilate fungicide.
Systemic translaminar and protectant action having additional curative and eradicant properties. Respiration inhibitor (QoL fungicide).
o-nitrotoluene and p-chloroaniline were used as starting materials in the synthesis of pyrametostrobin.
