Aromatic fluorination certainly is one of the best candidate reactions for micro reactors. Fluorinated compounds are of high industrial interest. For instance, they find wide application as pharmaceuticals, dyes, liquid crystals and crop-protection agents [3,13,16, 38] about every third drug contains a fluorine moiety. The introduction of fluorine moieties in molecules has unique effects on biological activity (see original citations in [16]). 

Limited pesticide must be applied to protect the crops from disease and insect pests in order to cultivate healthy crops, according to recommendations for pest control. However, crop protection agents that could interfere with the residue analyses must be used. 

Used industrially for the manufacture of emulsifying agents, flocculants, soaps, textiles softeners, cosmetics, in pharmaceuticals and crop protection agents, in the preparation of chemicals for the paper and leather industries, and in the production of plastics. 

Residual action on plant surfaces. Many crop protection agents exert their effects by residual action following application to plant surfaces. In addition to photochemical stability.

So far, it has been established that there is a very large market for crop protection agents globally and that these markets are dominated with crops such as wheat, barley, maize, soybeans, rice, cotton, grapes, top fruit and total weed control in countries and regions such as the USA,... 

The Pesticide Manual 10 is a valuable source of information on the chemistry of crop protection agents.

Chemistry and Mode of Action of Crop Protection Agents provides an in-depth, yet easy to read and understand, review of the major classes of pesticides, explaining also the basis of their activity and selectivity. Throughout, there are many references to allow the reader to pursue areas of special Interest, and each chapter contains questions to ensure that the text has been understood. It is the first book on the mode of action of pesticides to have been published in over ten years, and as such, will be of equal interest to students, universities. Industrialists and advisors in the field of crop protection. 

Dr Leonard Copping has been involved in the crop protection industry for over twenty years, working in discovery research for Boots. FBC/Schering and Dow/DowElanco. He Is now a consultant to the industry, is editor of The Royal Society of Chemistry s Focus on Biopesticldesf3lus. and of the book Crop Protection Agents from Nature.

There are few important weed, insect or disease problems in major crops that have not been addressed and for which there is not at least one synthetic crop protection agent available to the grower. The challenges to the agrochemical industry are now associated with the search for novel, competitive products in an already crowded market, for which use... 

FORMAMIDE. Form amide (meibanamide), HCONHi. is the lirsi member of the primary amide series and is the only one liquid at room temperature. II is hygroscopic and has a faint odor of ammonia. Formamide is a colorless to pale yellowish liquid, freely miscible with water, lower alcohols and glycols, and lower esters and acetone. It is virtually immiscible in almost all aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, chlorinated hydrocarbons, and ethers. By virtue of its high dielectric constant, close to that of water and unusual for an organic compound, formamide has a high solvent capacity lor many heavy-metal salts and for salts of alkali and alkalinc-carth metals. It is an important solvent, in particular for resins and plasticizers. As a chemical intermediate, formamide is especially useful in the synthesis of heterocyclic compounds, pharmaceuticals, crop protection agents, pesticides, and for the manufacture of hydrocyanic acid.
