Chemistry:Flufenauxirim
Flufenauxirim is a chemical herbicide. It is a pyrimidinecarboxylic acid and a broad-spectrum herbicide.[1][2] Its mechanism of action is unclear, but likely involves inhibition of enzymes that are involved in synthesis of fatty acids and amino acids.[1] The formula of flufenauxirim is C
14H
11F
4N
3O
4.[3][4]
The herbicide was announced in March 2025 as a product of Chinese company Qingdao KingAgroot Chemical Compound Co., and was provisionally approved by the International Organization for Standardization.[2] It is noted as being effective against grasses and broadleaf weeds.[3] As of August 2025, it is not approved by any European regulatory authority.[1]
Production and synthesis
Flufenauxirim is produced through a substitution reaction between pyrimidine and an aromatic intermediate that is substituted with methoxy and fluorine groups.[1] A derivative of flufenauxirim is flufenauxirim-metotyl.[5]
