    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesotrione

    Mesotrione is a selective herbicide used mainly in maize crops. [1] It is a synthetic compound inspired by the natural substance leptospermone found in the bottlebrush tree Callistemon citrinus . It inhibits the enzyme 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD) [ 3 ] and is sold under brand names including Callisto and Tenacity.

  3. 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase inhibitor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate_di...

    Mesotrione was introduced in 2002 and like sulcotrione is a triketone, so it is effective on the same weeds and crops, but is more potent, making it more useful in mixes with other herbicides - an important factor for fully controlling weeds and preventing the development of resistance. It has become the biggest selling member of the HPPD class ...

    In the mid-1980s, scientists at Stauffer Chemical Company published patents to benzoyl-substituted cyclohexanediones which led to their product mesotrione. [3] This encouraged workers at Rhône-Poulenc to expand their own research into molecules with the same mode of action as these 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase inhibitors.

    Butylate or butilate is a widely used thiocarbamate herbicide.As a herbicide, it was introduced in 1962, [2] and it quickly became the fourth most used herbicide in the US, with 28.5 million pounds (12.9 thousand tonnes) used in 1974. [4]

  7. Leptospermone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leptospermone

    Leptospermone can be synthesized from phloroglucinol by a reaction with 3-methylbutanenitrile (isovaleronitrile) in the presence of a zinc chloride catalyst. . Phloroisovalerone imine is produced which is then alkylated with iodomethane after initial treatment with sodium ethoxide and methanol to produce an intermediate which is treated with aqueous hydrochloric acid resulting in ...
