DODEMORPH

Dodemorph is a morpholine fungicide used for fungal control. It is moderately soluble in water and most organic solvents. It is moderately persistent in soil and is non-mobile. Based on its physico-chemical parameters, dodemorph is not expected to leach to groundwater. It demonstrates a low toxicity to mammals but a moderate level of toxicity to bees, fish and aquatic invertebrates. Limited data is available on its toxicity to humans but some reports suggest it is a possible reproduction/developmental toxin as well as an irritant.

Stability of moringa: Stable for more than 1y in closed containers. Stable for more than 2y at 50°C. Stable in neutral, medium strength alkali or acid. Decomposes and is flammable at high temperatures.

A labelled form of 4-Cyclododecyl-2,6-dimethylmorpholine (C990000) which isa morpholine pesticide and often used to control mildew in rose cultivation. 4-Cyclododecyl-2,6-dimethylmorpholine is known to inhibit ergosterol-biosynthesis and can be used to detect fungicide residues in fruits and vegetables. Useful in cannabis testing kits as a component of pesticide mixes (P698235).

The commercial production of dodemorph involves synthesising a morpholine-based fungicide through a series of organic reactions that build its distinctive structure. The process begins with the formation of the 2,6-dimethylmorpholine ring, which is then alkylated with a cyclododecyl group. This alkylation step introduces two chiral centres, resulting in a mixture of cis-trans isomers, which are then purified and formulated into products.

ChEBI: A member of the class of morpholines that is 2,6-dimethylmorpholine in which the hydrogen attached to the nitrogen is replaced by a cyclododecyl group. It is a fungicide used for the control of powdery mildew, particularly in rose culture.

Systemic with protective and curative action. Inhibits sterol biosynthesis in membranes
