Applications
DUDLEY’s 3-Chloro-2-methylphenyl methyl sulfide (CAS: 82961-52-2) is an important building block in the fields of pesticides and fine chemicals, and is mainly used in the synthesis of herbicides.
1. Agrochemical Intermediates: Tembotrione Key Precursor: This is the most important application of this product. Tembotrione is a second-generation triketone herbicide for corn fields developed by Bayer, characterized by its broad-spectrum herbicidal activity, high activity, and good safety profile. This product, after oxidation (to generate sulfones) and side-chain functionalization modification, is used to construct the core benzoyl skeleton of the embotrione molecule.
2. Organic Synthesis : Functional group transformation: The methylthio group (-SMe) in the molecule can be oxidized to sulfoxide or sulfone, and the methyl group (-Me) can undergo halogenation reaction, which can be used to synthesize a variety of complex molecules containing the "3-chloro-2-methyl-4-alkylsulfonyl" structure.
