| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
Chloretazate is an obsolete plant growth regulator for turf. Little data is available regarding its environmental fate, ecotoxicology or impacts on human health. | [Uses]
Karetazan is used in the preparation of Pyrazole derivatives as pesticides as well as as a chemical hybridisation agent for commercial hybrid seed production. | [Definition]
ChEBI: Karetazan is a member of the class of 4-pyridones that is N-ethyl-4-pyridone that is substituted at positions 2, 3, and 6 by p-chlorophenyl, carboxy, and methyl groups, respectively. It is used (particularly as its potassium salt, known as karetazan-potassium) as a chemical hybridisation agent for commercial hybrid seed production. It is not approved for use within the European Union. It has a role as a chemical hybridisation agent. It is a monocarboxylic acid, a member of monochlorobenzenes, a biaryl and a member of 4-pyridones. It is a conjugate acid of a karetazan(1-). | [Production Methods]
Chloretazate is typically commercially synthesised involving a multi-step organic process starting from substituted pyridine derivatives, incorporating a 4-chlorophenyl group and ethyl substituent through controlled alkylation and acylation processes. | [Pesticide Type]
