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.
