Kurzbeschreibung
Bisher gab es kein Buch, das sich speziell mit der Chiralität von Agrochemikalien beschäftigte, obwohl dieses Gebiet zunehmende Beachtung in der Industrie findet. Diese Darstellung der Chiralität bei Insektiziden, Fungiziden, Herbiziden und anderen Klassen von Agrochemikalien schließt diese Lücke. Synthese, Analytik, biologische Aktivität, Wirkprinzip, Toxikologie, Metabolismus und Umweltschicksal jeder besprochenen Verbindung werden diskutiert. (8/98)
Written by leading experts from industry and academia, this is the first book devoted to the topic of chirality in agrochemicals, discussing the synthesis, activity and toxicology of chiral agrochemicals.
The importance of using optically pure compounds has long been recognized by the pharmaceutical industry. The discovery that opposite enantiomers can have similarly diverse effects on plants and insects has had no less a revolutionary impact on the agrochemical industry. In this review volume, interesting and topical examples of chiral agrochemicals are brought together.
It covers:
* Pyrethroid Insecticides
* Organophosphorus Insecticides and Fungicides
* Aryloxyophenoxypropanoate Herbicides
* Acylanilides
* Triazoles
* Insect Hormones and Pheromones
The book will provide invaluable information for all those in the field.
