Metolachlor-d6 - Introduction
Metolachlor-d6 (Metolachlor-d6) is a labeled compound of acetochlor and a herbicide. Compared with common chloroacetochlor, it contains 6 deuterium (D) isotopes and can be used for tracing, analysis or research purposes.
The chemical properties of Metolachlor-d6 are similar to those of ordinary acetochlor. It is a colorless to yellow oily liquid with a pungent odor. It has a density of 1.18g/cm³ and a boiling point of about 150-155°C. The compound is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, xylene and ether.
Metolachlor-d6 is mainly used as a herbicide to control weeds in corn, cotton, peanuts, legumes and other grasses. It interferes with the growth process of weeds, preventing them from normal germination and growth, thus playing a role in weeding.
The preparation of Metolachlor-d6 is usually prepared by reacting chloroacetochlor with deuteride. Specifically, the chloroacetochlor is reacted with an ethanol solution of deuterated sodium hydroxide to form a Metolachlor-d6 chloroamine salt, which is then reacted with a corresponding sodium oxide salt through a displacement reaction to obtain the final deuterium-labeled compound.
Regarding the safety information of Metolachlor-d6, it is an organic compound, and attention should be paid to following relevant safety operating procedures. Appropriate protective equipment such as gloves, goggles and protective clothing should be worn during use. Avoid inhaling its vapors or touching the skin. If you take or inhale too much Metolachlor-d6 by mistake, seek medical attention immediately.
