DIMETHIRIMOL Chemical Properties, Uses, Production

Description

Dimethirimol is a systemic, eradicant fungicide. It has a high aqueous solubility and is quite volatile. Based on its chemical properties, it may leach to groundwater. It can be persistent in soil systems. Dimethirimol has a low mammalian toxicity. It is moderately toxic to birds and fish.

Chemical Properties

Pure product is white needle crystal, odorless. m.p.102℃, vapor pressure 1.46×10-3Pa (30℃), solubility at 25℃: chloroform 1200g/L, xylene 360g/L, ethanol 65g/L, propanol 45g/L, water 1.2g/L. Stable to acid, alkali, and heat, and non-corrosive to metal.

Uses

Dimethrimolis a fungicide used initially to prevent powdery mildew and other fungal infections or crops. Pesticide.

Uses

Fungicide.

Uses

Dimethirimol is a systemic fungicide that provides both protective and curative control of powdery mildew (Sphaeratheca fulginea) in cucurbits. Other uses include tobacco, tomatoes and ornamentals.

Definition

ChEBI: A member of the class of aminopyrimidines that is 2-dimethylaminopyrimidine carrying methyl, butyl and hydroxy substituents at posiitons 4, 5 and 6 respectively. A fungicide first marketed in 1970, and used particularly in glasshouses to control powdery mi dew, it is no longer approved for use within the European Union.

Production Methods

The commercial production of dimethirimol involves a multi-step process. It starts with the condensation of ethyl acetoacetate and butylamine to form an intermediate, followed by cyclisation with guanidine or a dimethylguanidine derivative in the presence of a base, such as sodium ethoxide, in an alcoholic solvent under controlled temperature to yield the pyrimidine ring structure. The crude dimethirimol is purified through filtration, washing, and recrystallisation to achieve high purity.

Mechanism of action

Systemic, ergosterol biosynthesis inhibitor. Nucleic acid synthesis - adenosin-deaminase.

Metabolic pathway

Information presented in this summary is abstracted from unpublished data in the 1971 ICI dimethirimol petition submitted to the Canadian authority. Dimethirimol is rapidly metabolised in both plants and animals. Primary metabolic reactions in soils, plants and animals are N-dealkylation, hydroxylation of the butyl group and the direct conjugation of dimethirimol in plants (glucosides) and animals (glucuronides). Metabolic pathways are shown in Scheme 1.

Degradation

Dimethirimol (1) is stable to heat and in acid and alkahe solutions. It is decomposed rather rapidly in aqueous solution when exposed to sunlight with an observed DT50 of 7 days.
