Description

5-Hydroxy-Clethodim Sulfoxide is a key intermediate and metabolite in the synthesis and mode of action of the herbicide clethodim. This compound matters for its role in the development and analytical verification of selective post-emergence herbicides used to control annual and perennial grasses in broadleaf crops. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the agrochemical industry for product development, quality control, and as a reference standard for environmental and metabolic studies.

Application

• Agrochemical Intermediate: A critical synthetic precursor in the manufacturing process of clethodim-based herbicide formulations.
• Analytical Reference Standard: Used in HPLC, LC-MS, and GC-MS methods for the quantification and identification of clethodim and its metabolites in technical materials, formulations, and environmental samples.
• Metabolic Studies: Employed in research to study the environmental fate, degradation pathways, and metabolic behavior of clethodim in plants and soil.
• Quality Control & Assurance: Serves as a high-purity benchmark for in-house quality testing of active ingredient batches and final herbicide products.
• Research & Development: Utilized in academic and industrial R&D for developing new herbicide formulations and studying structure-activity relationships (SAR).
