Benthiavalicarb

ChEBI: A carboxamide resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of L-valine with (1R)-1-(6-fluoro-1,3-benzothiazol-2-yl)ethylamine and replacement of one of the hydrogens attached to the alpha-am no group by a carboxy group. It is the active form of the fungicide benthiavalicarb isopropyl (in which the carbamic acid group has been converted to the corresponding isopropyl ester).

Benthiavalicarb has been developed by Kumiai Chemicals Industry for treatment of tomatoes and potato late blight.
