Amidosulfuron Usage And Synthesis

Description

Amidosulfuron is a broad spectrum herbicide that is used to control broad-leaved weeds. It is volatile, highly soluble in water and, based on its chemical properties, has a high potential for leaching to groundwater. It is not persistent in soil systems but may be persistent in water under certain conditions.

Toxicity

Amidosulfuron has a low mammalian toxicity and would not be expected to bioaccumulate. Amidosulfuron is moderately toxic to most terrestrial and aquatic species.

Uses

Amidosulfuron, is used as pesticide and herbicides.

Uses

Herbicide.

Definition

ChEBI: Amidosulfuron is an aromatic ether.

Metabolic pathway

The hydrolysis of 14C-amidosulfuron in buffer aqueous solutions under various conditions results in 2-amino- 4,6-dimethoxypyrimidine as the major hydrolyzed product. In soils, O-demethylated amidosulfuron is the major degradation product. In mammals and plants, primary hydroxylation at the pyrimidine ring is a characteristic degradation reaction yielding 5-hydroxyamidosulfuron.
