Abstract
Publisher Summary This chapter discusses the biodegradable ability of acid amides used to produce herbicides, and fungicides. The chapter begins with a discussion of Acetaminophen and its reactions. Acetochlor— a pre-emergent herbicide, is used to control grass weeds and some broadleaf weeds in corn and soybeans. Alachlor— a soil fungus, is used as a pre-emergent herbicide for the control of weeds in corn and soybeans. Benalaxyl, a fungicide, is used for controlling oomycetes, Plasmopara viticola on grapes, Pseudoperonospora humuli on hops, Phytophthora infestants on potatoes, Plasmopara tabacia on tobacco, and Pythium spp.on turf. Butachlor, a pre-emergent herbicide, is discussed in the chapter. Carpropramid, a systematic fungicide, is used in the control of rice blast disease. Chloramphenicol is processed for pharmaceutical use. N, N-Diethyl-metatoluamide (DEET) is an important insect repellent used for the protection of man from mosquitoes and other biting insects. N-(2, 6-Dimethylphenyl)-4- [[(diethylamino) acetyl] amino] benzamide (DEGA); N, N Diethylphenylacetamide (DEPA); N, N-Dimethylformamide (DMF); and N-Ethyl-N-methyl-4- (trifluoromethyl)-2-(3, 4 dimethoxyphenyl) benzamide (EMTDB) are detailed in the chapter. Epicainide, Furalaxyl, Inabenfide, and other compounds are discussed. The chapter concludes with a detailed discussion of the compounds—Metalaxyl, Naproanilide, Prinomide, and Trifoline.
