Template:Chembox Footer/trackingTemplate:Short description
Metalaxyl is an acylalanine fungicide with systemic function.[3] Its chemical name is methyl N-(methoxyacetyl)-N-(2,6-xylyl)-DL-alaninate. It can be used to control Pythium in a number of vegetable crops, and Phytophthora in peas. Metalaxyl-M is the ISO common name[4] and Ridomil Gold is the trade name for the optically pure (-) / D / R active stereoisomer, which is also known as mefenoxam.[5]
It is the active ingredient in the seed treatment agent Apron XL LS.[6]
The fungicide has suffered severe Page Template:Visible anchor/styles.css has no content.resistance problems. The fungicide was marketed for use against Phytophthora infestans. However, in the summer of 1980, in the Republic of Ireland, the crop was devastated by a potato blight epidemic after a resistant race of the oomycete appeared.[7] Irish farmers later successfully sued the company for their losses.[citation needed] Maximum pesticide residue limits for the EU/UK are set at 0.5 mg/kg for oranges and 1.0 mg/kg for apples.[citation needed] As early as 1998 Pythium was known to be widely developing resistance to metalaxyl[8] which was the most effective control at the time.[8] Various Pythium populations have been known to have resistance to mefenoxam since the 1980s[9] and metalaxyl since 1984.[10] There is wide variability in resistance/sensitivity between Pythium species, with some populations showing complete ineffectiveness.[9]
Synthesis
The first synthesis of metalaxyl was disclosed in patents filed by Ciba Geigy.[11]
2,6-Xylidine is alkylated with methyl 2-bromopropionate to give an alanine derivative. This is further reacted with the acid chloride of methoxyacetic acid to yield racemic metalaxyl.[11][12] The homochiral, single-isomer version of the chemical, which retains all its fungicidal activity, has been manufactured.[13]
