| | VINCLOZOLIN Usage And Synthesis |
| Uses | Vinclozolin is a non-systemic, contact fungicide that controls fruit
rot, brown rot, mould and blight caused by Botrytis spp., Sclerotinia spp.,
Monilia spp., etc. in vines, fruits, vegetables, oilseed rape, ornamentals,
hops, turf and strawberries. Vinclozolin exhibits both preventive and
curative activities. | | Uses | Agricultural fungicide. | | Definition | ChEBI: 3-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)-5-ethenyl-5-methyl-2,4-oxazolidinedione is a member of the class of oxazolidinones that is 5-ethenyl-5-methyl-2,4-oxazolidinedione in which the imide hydrogen is replaced by a 3,5-dichlorophenyl group. It is a dicarboximide, a dichlorobenzene, an oxazolidinone and an olefinic compound. | | General Description | Colorless crystals with slight aromatic odor. Used as a fungicide. | | Air & Water Reactions | Hydrolysis rapidly occurs under alkaline conditions | | Reactivity Profile | A halogenated dicarboximide. Organic amides/imides react with azo and diazo compounds to generate toxic gases. Flammable gases are formed by the reaction of organic amides/imides with strong reducing agents. Amides are very weak bases (weaker than water). Imides are less basic yet and in fact react with strong bases to form salts. That is, they can react as acids. Mixing amides with dehydrating agents such as P2O5 or SOCl2 generates the corresponding nitrile. The combustion of these compounds generates mixed oxides of nitrogen (NOx). | | Agricultural Uses | Fungicide: Vinclozolin is a non-systemic fungicide which has
been used on vines (such as grapes), strawberries, raspberries, chicory grown for Belgian endive, lettuce, kiwi,
canola, succulent beans, and dry bulb onions. Import tolerances have been established to permit. Not approved for
use in EU countries

procymidone, are added to wine after fermentation
and the degradation products are isolated and
identified. Chlozolinate undergoes a rapid hydrolytic
loss of the ethoxycarbonyl substituent to give an
oxazolidine that further undergoes hydrolytic cleavage
to give 3' ,5' -dichloro-2-hydroxypropanilide. The
oxazolidine ring of vinclozolin undergoes a similar
hydrolysis reaction to give the corresponding anilide, 3' ,5'-dichloro-2-hydroxy-2-methylbut-3-eneanilide. Both
of these anilides are stable in wine for 150 days. A
different degradation behavior is observed with
procymidone and leads to the formation of 3,5-
dichloroaniline, which, in turn, breaks down in wine. | | Purification Methods | Crystallise the fungicide from Me2CO/H2O. Its solubility at 20o (w/w%) is 44 (Me2CO), 32 (CHCl3), 25 (EtOAc) and 10 (H2O). It irritates the eyes and skin. [GP 2,207,576 1973, Chem Abstr 79 137120 1973.] | | Degradation | Vinclozolin (1) was rapidly hydrolysed in alkaline solution. The hydrolytic
DT50, values in pH 5, 7 and 9 solution at 25 °C were 45 days, 13.4
hours and 1.6 hours, respectively (Melkebeke et al., 1986). Szeto et al.
(1989a) and Villedieu et al. (1994, 1995) reported that the opening of
the oxazolidinedione ring by attack of the hydroxyl ion on the two
carbonyl groups is the primary hydrolysis mechanism to yield 2-{[3,5-
dichlorophenyl)carbamoyl]-oxy}-2-methyl-3-butenoica cid (2) and 3'5'-
dichloro-2-hydroxy-2-methylbut-3-enanilide(3) as major products. The
formation of compound 3 was likely via the intermediate N-(2-hydroxy-
2-methyl-1-oxo-buten-3-yl)-3,5-dichlorophenyl-1-carbamic acid (4). 3,5-
Dichloroaniline (5) was reported as a minor hydrolysis product. The
proposed hydrolytic degradation pathway of vinclozolin is presented in
Scheme 1. Compound 3 was also reported as the primary degradation
product of vinclozolin in wine (pH 3-4, 30 °C) whereas 3,5-
dichloroaniline (5) was not detected in the wine samples (Cabras et al.,
1984; Pirisi et al., 1986).
The degradation rate of vinclozolin in aqueous solution at λ> 290 nm
was slower than at λ>230 nm; furthermore, the addition of humic
and fulvic acids catalysed the aqueous photodegradation reaction
(DT50 8 hours) to yield compound 5 and 3,5-dichlorophenyl isocyanate
(6) as primary degradation products (see Scheme 1; Hustert and
Moza, 1997). Schwack et al. (1995) reported the photolytic reactions of
vinclozolin in various organic solvents. Addition of the solvent molecules
to the vinyl moiety and dechlorination products were observed as major
photodegradation reactions. |
