ACTIVITY: Herbicide (Arylalanine)

CAS Name for Flamprop: N-benzoyl-N-(3-chloro-4-fluorophenyl)-DL-alanine

Notes: When Flamprop is used as an ester or a salt, its identity should be stated, for example flamprop-isopropyl [52756-22-6], flamprop-methyl [52756-25-9].
The D-isomer of this substance has the ISO common name flamprop-M.

Structure:

 

Photodegradates of Flamprop-methyl on various kinds of sand: Fontainebleau sand (almost pure silica), Touggourt sand (coloured sand from Sahara) and Jijel sand (dark marine sand).

... When a pesticide is spread in the environment only a minor proportion reaches its target. Most of it penetrates in the soil when it is water soluble or stay on surface when solubility is low. There it is generally submitted to sunlight and may be photodegraded. It is important to know if this transformation is rapid or not and if there is no formation of toxic intermediates...
