| FIFRA-Anforderungen | As the federal pesticide law FIFRA directs, EPA is conducting a comprehensive review of older pesticides to consider their health and environmental effects and make decisions about their future use. Under this pesticide reregistration program, EPA examines health and safety data for pesticide active ingredients initially registered before November 1, 1984, and determines whether they are eligible for reregistration. In addition, all pesticides must meet the new safety standard of the Food Quality Protection Act of 1996. Metalaxyl is found on List A, which contains most food use pesticides and consists of the 194 chemical cases (or 350 individual active ingredients) for which EPA issued registration standards prior to FIFRA '88.

| Treatment | Consider gastric lavage, as well was dilution with milk or water after ingestion. Administer charcoal as a slurry following ingestionhowever, activated charcoal should not be given to patients ingesting strong acidic or basic caustic chemicals. In case of inhalation, move patient to fresh air. Monitor for respiratory distress. If cough or difficulty breathing develops, evaluate for respiratory tract irritation, bronchitis, or pneumonitis. Administer oxygen and assist ventilation as required. Treat bronchospasm with inhaled beta2 agonist and oral or parenteral corticosteroids. Irrigate exposed eyes with copious amounts of room temperature water for at least 15 minutes. Following dermal exposure, remove contaminated clothing and wash exposed area thoroughly with soap and water. Treat dermal irritation or burns with standard topical therapy. Patients developing dermal hypersensitivity reactions may require treatment with systemic or topical corticosteroids or antihistamines. Administer symptomatic treatment as necessary. (T36) |
| Wechselwirkungen | Because metalaxyl is used on tobacco, a 90 day smoke inhalation study was conducted. Male & female Fischer 344 rats were exposed to smoke form cigarettes containing 0, 130, 3,900, or 13,000 ppm of metalaxyl for 4 hr/day, 5 days/wk. The max air concn of metalaxyl was 5 ug/L. The concns in test cigarettes were 100-1,000 times avg residue levels & 30-100 times greater than the expected max residue levels. Although the study was limited in its ability to simulate human exposure, the results were adequate to demonstrate toxicological effects from exposures are unlikely beyond that from exposures associated with heavy smoking. The profile of residues in inhalable smoke indicated 30% was metalaxyl, 4% was 2,6-dimethylaniline, & 65% was unidentified material. |

| Umweltverhalten | TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), Koc values ranging from 30 to 284(2) indicate that metalaxyl is expected to have very high to moderate mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of metalaxyl from moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process(3) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 3.0X10-9 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), derived from its vapor pressure, 5.62X10-6 mm Hg(4), and water solubility, 8,400 mg/l(4). Metalaxyl is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces(SRC) based upon its vapor pressure(4). Metalaxyl undergoes fairly rapid degradation (half-life of approx 40 days) in soils incubated aerobically(5). Experiments with 14C-metalaxyl demonstrated that it was readily metabolized in soil with a history of fungicide treatment (half-life of 14 days) but not in a control soil(6). In a tobacco soil, rapid degradation of metalaxyl occurred with a half-life of 6 days(7). The main breakdown product of metalaxyl in soil was the acid metabolite(7).AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), Koc values ranging from 30 to 284(2), indicates that metalaxyl is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is not expected(3) based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 3.0X10-9 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), derived from its vapor pressure, 5.62X10-6 mm Hg(4), and water solubility, 8,400 mg/l(4). According to a classification scheme(5), an estimated BCF of 4(SRC), from its log Kow(6) and a regression-derived equation(7), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low(SRC). Photolysis of metalaxyl in aqueous solution using UV light with wavelengths greater than 290 nm resulted in 10% substrate transformation in 3 hours(8). Long time (65 hr) irradiation under artificial sunlight in the presence of humic acids resulted in 65% degradation of the chemical(8). Photolysis leads not only to rearrangement of the N-acyl group to the aromatic ring but also to demethoxylation, N-deacylation, and elimination of the methoxycarbonyl group from the molecule(8). Based on biodegradation studies in soil, metalaxyl is expected to biodegrade in aqueous systems(SRC). Metalaxyl undergoes fairly rapid degradation (half-life of approx 40 days) in soils incubated aerobically(9). Experiments with 14C-metalaxyl demonstrated that its was readily metabolized in soil with a history of fungicide treatment (half-life of 14 days) but not in a control soil(10).ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), metalaxyl, which has a vapor pressure of 5.62X10-6 mm Hg at 25 °C(2), will exist in both the vapor and particulate phases in the ambient atmosphere(SRC). Vapor-phase metalaxyl is degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals(SRC)the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 14 hours(SRC), calculated from its rate constant of 27X10-12 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC) that was derived using a structure estimation method(3). Particulate-phase metalaxyl may be removed from the air by wet and dry deposition(SRC). Metalaxyl undergoes photolysis in water(4) and, by analogy, may undergo direct photolysis in the atmosphere(SRC). |

Beschreibung
As an important fungicide group, acylanilides have a longer history than triazoles. Metalaxyl (44) is one of the most important fungicides in the group. It originates from the class of herbicidal chloroacetanilides, particularly metolachlor (45). Metolachlor, having a chiral carbon center and a chiral axis, is composed of four stereoisomers, the most herbicidally active one of which is the (αR, 1S)-isomer (32). For the stereoselective synthesis of this isomer, novel iridium-ferrocenyldiphosphine catalysts for the enantioselective hydrogenation of N-(2-ethyl-6-methylphenyl)- N-(1 -methoxymethyl)-ethylidene-amine are reported. In the most effective approach, the catalyst is generated in situ from [Ir(cod)Cl]2(cod = cyclooctadiene) and the ferrocenyldiphosphine ligand (R)-(S)-PPF-P(3,5-xyl)2 (46) (33).When the substrate to catalyst ratio is 106, the conversion is complete in 2 to 3 h, producing metolachlor in optical yields over 80% (34).
Verwenden
Metalaxyl is used for the control of air-borne pathogens by foliar application and of soil-borne pathogens by soil application on a wide range of crops. It is particularly useful against Oomycetes including soil-borne Phytophthora diseases.
