MALONAMIDES AND THEIR USE AS HERBICIDES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18280408 titled 'MALONAMIDES AND THEIR USE AS HERBICIDES
Simplified Explanation
The invention relates to compounds of formula (I) and their use as herbicides. In said formula, R to R represent groups such as hydrogen, halogen, or organic groups such as alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, or alkoxy; X is a bond or a divalent unit; Y is hydrogen, cyano, hydroxyl, or a linear or cyclic organic group. The invention further refers to a composition comprising such a compound and to the use thereof for controlling unwanted vegetation.
- Compounds of formula (I) are used as herbicides.
- R to R represent various groups including hydrogen, halogen, and organic groups.
- X can be a bond or a divalent unit.
- Y can be hydrogen, cyano, hydroxyl, or a linear or cyclic organic group.
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in agriculture, horticulture, landscaping, and forestry industries for controlling unwanted vegetation.
Problems Solved
The technology helps in effectively managing and eliminating unwanted vegetation that can compete with crops or disrupt ecosystems.
Benefits
The use of these compounds as herbicides can lead to increased crop yields, improved land management practices, and reduced environmental impact compared to traditional herbicides.
Potential Commercial Applications
The technology can be commercialized for the production of herbicides for agricultural and landscaping purposes, offering a more sustainable and efficient solution for weed control.
Possible Prior Art
Prior art may include existing herbicides in the market that target unwanted vegetation but may not have the same chemical structure or mode of action as the compounds of formula (I).
Unanswered Questions
How do compounds of formula (I) compare to other herbicides in terms of effectiveness and environmental impact?
Compounds of formula (I) may offer a more targeted approach to weed control, potentially reducing the amount of herbicide needed and minimizing environmental contamination.
What are the potential regulatory hurdles for the commercialization of herbicides based on compounds of formula (I)?
Regulatory bodies may require extensive testing to ensure the safety and efficacy of these compounds before they can be approved for use in agriculture and other industries.
