Contact, short lived activity. It acts by inhibiting the action of the enzyme enoyl-acyl carrier-protein reductase (ENR) which is essential for the survival of bacteria and fungi |
|
A component of many insect pheromones. For example, it is a component of the female sex pheromone of the mining bee (Andrena nigroaenea) and the sex recognition pheromone of the Asian long-horned beetle (Anoplophora glabripennis) |
|
Manufactured using a reflux process, whereby 2,4,4'-trichloro-2'-methoxydiphenyl ether is treated with aluminium chloride |
