Hymexazol Usage And Synthesis

Chemical PropertiesWhite Solid
UsesPesticide.
UsesHymexazol is used to control soil-borne diseases caused byFusarium, Aphanomyces, Pythium, Corficium and Typhula spp. in rice, sugarbeet, fodder beet, vegetables, cucurbits, ornamentals, carnations andforest tree seedlings. It is also used as a seed dressing and stimulates someplant growth.
UsesAgricultural fungicide and plant growth regulator.
DefinitionChEBI: A member of the class of isoxazoles carrying hydroxy and methyl substituents at positions 3 and 5 respectively. It is used worldwide as a systemic soil and seed fungicide for the control of diseases caused by Fusarium, Aphanomyces Pythium, and Corticium spp. in rice, sugarbeet, fodderbeet, vegetables, cucurbits, and ornamentals.

Mechanism of actionHymexazol works by inhibiting RNA synthesis in pathogenic fungi, disrupting their growth and reproduction.
Metabolic pathwayDegradation of hymexazol in soil gave acetoacetamide and the productof rearrangement, 5-methyl-2(3H)-oxazolone.H owever, in plants the fungicidewas principally converted into its O- and N-glucoside conjugates inthe roots and shoots. The two main metabolites of hymexazol found in theurine of rats were the O-glucuronide and sulfate conjugates.
DegradationHymexazol is stable under alkaline conditions and relatively stable inacidic conditions. It is stable to sunlight and heat (PM). It should be notedthat the parent molecule is tautomeric. Hymexazol is highly volatile andwill be lost by volatilisation unless it is covered or incorporated into soil.The fungicide was completely biodegraded in natural water at 30 °C in2 weeks and at 10-13 °C in 2 months (Rebenok and Kolesnikova, 1983).Hymexazol is stable in sunlight but it is readily degraded by ultravioletlight. Photolysis of an aqueous solution of the fungicide at 253.7 nm, usinga low pressure Hg lamp, afforded the oxazolinone (2) as the major productand at least two unidentified minor components. The oxazolinone (2)has been found in soil studies as described below and is a product ofrearrangement formed via an aziridinone intermediate as shown inScheme 1 (Nakagawa et al., 1974).
