Benoxacor |
Chemical Name: 4-(dichloroacetyl)-3,4-dihydro-3-methyl-2H-1,4-benzoxazine Formula: C11H11Cl2NO2 Molecular Weight: 260.1 CAS No.: 98730-04-2 Structure: Description: Appearance: Colourless solid Melting Point: 107.6°C. Flash Point: 185°C Vapour Pressure: 0.59mPa(20°C). S.g./density: 1.52(20°C) Solubility: In water 20 mg/l (20°C). In acetone 230, cyclohexanone 300, methylene chloride 400, methanol 30, n-octanol 11, isopropanol 13, toluene 90, hexane 3.2, xylene 60 (all in g/kg). Stability: Stable up to 200°C. Stable in acidic media, hydrolyses in alkaline media; DT50 c. 50 d (pH 7). Undergoes rapid photolytic degradation (c. 0.5 h, pH 7, natural sunlight). Specification: Content: 95%min Loss on Drying: ≤0.5% PH Value: 4-7 Formulation: 95%TC Uses: Absorbed mainly through the shoots of germinating seedlings; accelerates the detoxification of metolachlor in maize. Benoxacor has no herbicidal activity of its own. Used as a herbicide safener, benoxacor increases tolerance of maize to metolachlor under both normal and adverse environmental conditions. Does not affect activity of metolachlor on susceptible species. Available only in mixture with metolachlor, as a 30: 1 ready mix. |
