Microbial hydroxylation of the herbicide N-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)methacrylamide (dicryl).

abstract

• The fungus Rhizopus japonicus converts the herbicide N-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)methacrylamide (dicryl) to N-3,4-dichlorophenyl)-2-methyl-2,3-dihydroxypropionamide. This metabolite was formed by the addition of two hydroxyl groups to the ethylenic double bond of dicryl. Its structure was elucidated by nuclear magnetic resonance and mass spectrometric analysis. 1973, American Chemical Society. All rights reserved.
