Best Agrolife secures process manufacturing patent for fungicide intermediate

Methyl 2-(2-methylphenoxymethyl) phenylglyoxylate serves as a critical intermediate compound in the production of widely used fungicides like Kresoxim-methyl and Trifloxystrobin

  • By ICN Bureau | November 30, 2024

Best Agrolife Group, an innovator in the agrochemical industry, has secured a process patent for manufacturing of Methyl 2-(2-methylphenoxymethyl) phenylglyoxylate. This aligns with Best Agrolife’s strategy on innovation and development of fungicides.

With advanced R&D facilities and robust backward integration capabilities, Best Agrolife Group develops a wide range of agrochemical products, including Strobilurin fungicides such as Trifloxystrobin, Azoxystrobin, Picoxystrobin, Kresoxim-methyl, and Pyraclostrobin.

Methyl 2-(2-methylphenoxymethyl) phenylglyoxylate serves as a critical intermediate compound in the production of widely used fungicides like Kresoxim-methyl and Trifloxystrobin. The newly patented process represents a significant advancement in the manufacturing of this intermediate. 

This patent addresses one of the major challenges in agrochemical manufacturing—high costs associated with by-product generation during downstream processes. By minimizing the formation of by-products, the process eliminates the need for multistep recycling and reuse operations, traditionally required in intermediate synthesis.

By overcoming this limitation, the company has set a new benchmark for operational efficiency and product quality. This groundbreaking approach reduces operational costs while enhancing efficiency, delivering higher yields and improved purity of the final product. Such transformative innovation places Best Agrolife at the forefront of the agrochemical industry.

Kresoxim-methyl and Trifloxystrobin fungicides are well-regarded for their effectiveness in combating powdery mildew and their "greening effects," which enhance crop vitality. These fungicides are widely used to control scab on apples and pears and address a variety of fungal diseases across a broad spectrum of crops, making them essential tools for modern agriculture.
