Kresoxim-methyl is a high-efficiency, broad-spectrum and novel kind of fungicide. It has excellent treatment efficacy on strawberry powdery mildew, melon powdery mildew, cucumber powdery mildew, pear scab and other diseases. It is capable of controlling the treatment of Ascomycetes, Basidiomycetes, Deuteromycetes, Oomycetes and most kinds of other diseases. It has inhibitory effect on spore germination and growth of mycelium inside the leaf with activities of protection, treatment and eradication. It has good permeability and local systemic activity with long duration period. It has been widely applied for controlling crop diseases on fruit trees, vegetables, tea, tobacco, etc. In addition, the product can have a positive physiological regulatory function on the crop which is capable of inhibiting the generation of ethylene, helping crops have a longer period of time to ensure the energy storage and guarantee the biological maturity; it can significantly improve the crop nitrification reductase activity, when the crop is subject to attack from viruses, it can accelerate the formation rate of resistant virus proteins.

1: Kresoxim-methyl should not be used in combination with strong alkali, strong acidic substances such as pesticides.
2: The safety interval of product is four days with crop being subject to spraying at most at 3-4 times per quarter.
3: People, upon application of this product, should wear masks, gloves and goggles, and should not make things and drinking during spraying and should promptly wash hands and face after spraying.
4: pregnant women and lactating women should not touch.
5: it has certain toxicity on aquatic fishes and should be kept from contaminating surface water.
6: it has excellent efficacy in controlling powdery mildew. Owning to that the powdery mildew fungus is prone to develop drug resistance. Application of Kresoxim-methyl in area had been subject to long-term application of triazole fungicides will achieve more pronounced efficacy and it can be mixed with thiophanate-methyl for application.
7: It should be stored in dry, cool, ventilated, rainproof place and should be away from fire and heat source. It should be put in place out of the reach of children and locked. Avoid storing it together with food, drink and feed.
It is a kind of Strobilurin fungicide and is mainly applied to cereals, rice, potatoes, apples, pears, pumpkins and grapes. It also has protection, treatment and eradication activity on the Ascomycetes, Basidiomycetes, Deuteromycetes and Oomycetes and other pathogenic fungi with long duration period. Under recommended dose, it is safe to crops without injury-free and safe for the environment.
Kresoxim-methyl is a strobilurin fungicide. It inhibits conidial germination of V. inaequalis isolates from apple orchards (EC50s = 0.00033-0.0078 mg/L). Kresoxim-methyl also inhibits mycelial growth (EC50 = 0.240 mg/L) and is fungicidal against Saprolegnia (MIC = 1 mg/L). It increases intracellular calcium levels and disrupts the mitochondrial membrane potential in mouse cortical cultures in a concentration-dependent manner. Kresoxim-methyl is toxic to goldfish (C. auratus; LC50 = 0.807 mg/L).
An agricultural fungicide.
Kresoxim-methyl is used for the control of several diseases (scab,
mildews, blast, sheath blight and others) on a range of crops including
apples, pears, vines, sugar beet and cereals.

To the organic layer obtained in Example 12 was added an aqueous solution (132.0 ml) of tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB, 0.14 g), sodium hydroxide (15.8 g), and the reaction was stirred at 45°C for 1.0 hour. The organic layer containing methyl 2-o-toluoyloxymethylbenzoate was separated and retained to recover 2-o-toluoylbenzoic acid (compound of formula (1)). To the aqueous layer containing methyl 2-o-toluoyloxybenzoate (compound of formula (4a)) was added an aqueous solution (25.0 ml) of methoxylamine hydrochloride (14.5 g) and stirred at room temperature for 1.0 hour. Dichloromethane (DCM, 35.0 ml) was added to the reaction mixture and stirring was continued for 1.0 hour. The organic layer was separated and the aqueous layer was extracted with DCM (40.0 ml). The organic layers were combined and dried to give a mixture containing methoxyimino-(2-o-toluyloxymethylphenyl)acetic acid (compound of formula (4b)) with a 50:50 ratio of E- and Z-isomers, where R is 2-methylphenoxy. To this organic layer was added N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF, 0.7 ml) at room temperature followed by thionyl chloride (26.3 g). The reaction mixture was heated at 40-45°C for 8.0 hours and concentrated to give a gummy substance. Methanol (100.0 ml) was added to the colloidal substance within 1.0 h. The reaction mixture was heated at 60-65°C for 1.0 h. The mixture was cooled to 10°C and filtered. The white solid was washed with methanol (30 ml) and dried to give (E)-2-(methoxyimino)-2-(2-((tolylmethoxy)methyl)phenyl)acetic acid methyl ester (Kresoxim-methyl, compound of formula (5b)) (42.5 g, 82.2% yield) with HPLC purity >96%.
By hepatocyte suspensions prepared from goats, pigs,
hens, and rats that have been cryopreserved and
thawed, BAS 490 F is metabolized via the same
pathways as observed using fresh rat hepatocytes.
The rate of hydrolysis of 14C-BAS 490 F leading to a
carboxylic acid derivative seems to be constant
between the cryopreserved and fresh hepatocytes
except for goats. The oxidation reaction at the methyl
group of the phenoxy ring, leading to the
hydroxymethyl analog of the carboxylic acid of BAS
490 F, significantly decreases after cryopreservation,
whereas the formation of (E)-2-methoxyimino-2[2-(4-
hydroxy-2-methylphenyloxymethyl)phenyl] acetic acid
by hydroxylation at the 4-position of the phenoxy ring
remains at a constant rate. In pig hepatocytes, the two
hydroxylated metabolites of the phenoxy ring, carboxy
BAS 409 F and (E)-2-methoxyimino-2-o-
hydroxymethylphenyl acetic acid, are formed to a
lesser extent after cryopreservation.
Kresoxim-methyl is rapidly metabolized in mammalian
systems to the virtually inactive carboxylic acid, accounting
for its low toxicity and high level of selectivity. Atharvest
residues in cereals and top fruit are <0.05 mg/kg
and <1 mg/kg in grapes and vegetables. The soil DT50 =
<3 days, and the Koc is 219 to 372. For the main metabolite,
the Koc is 17 to 24. Hydrolytic stability tests indicate
a DT50 of 34 days at pH 7 but only 7 h at pH 9.
Kresoxim-methyl is a stable crystalline solid with limited water solubility.
It is stable in the pH range 3-8 but it is hydrolysed to the carboxylic acid
(2, see Scheme 1) in base. DT50 values (25 °C) at pH 5,7 and 9 were 875,34
and 0.29 days, respectively. The product (2) was stable under these
conditions.
Kresoxim-methyl undergoes rapid photodegradation in water when
irradiated with UV light. Its DT50 was 3 days and several products were
formed, one of which was the Z-isomer. Details of the other products are
not available. Under conditions of simulated sunlight the compound was
degraded with a DT50 of 37 days in pure water and 19 days in natural
pond water.
Kresoxim-methyl has an acute oral LD50 > 5,000
and an acute dermal LD50 > 2,000 mg/kg in rats. The
NOEL for rats is 800 ppm, and the ADI = 0.4 mg/kg bw
(body weight). Kresoxim-methyl is not a skin or eye
irritant, is nonmutagenic and nonteratogenic. It shows
toxicity to aquatic organisms (fish 96-h LC50 = 0.681
to 1 mg/L) but does not cause permanent damage.
Other nontarget organisms show the following levels
of sensitivity: bird: 14-day LD50 = 2,150 mg/kg; bee: 48-
h LD50 ≥ 20 μg/bee; worm: LC50 ≥ 937 mg/kg; Daphnia:
48-h EC50 = 0.186 mg/L; and algae 0- to 2-h EC50 =
63 μg/L.
