Metribuzin (4-amino-6-tert-butyl-3-(methylthio)-1,2,4-triazin-5(4H)-one) is a herbicide used both pre- and post-emergence in crops including soy bean, potatoes, tomatoes and sugar cane.
It acts by inhibiting photosynthesis by disrupting photosystem II.[2] It is widely used in agriculture and has been found to contaminate groundwater.[3]
Metribuzin is produced by reacting one mole of 4-amino-6-tert-butyl-3-mercapto-(1,2,4)triazin-5(4H)one and half a mole of dimethyl sulfonate which react at 57°C in presence of sulfuric acid media about 7 hours and transfer methyl (CH3) from triazine to metribuzin and product formed 1 mole of metribuzin and half mole of sulfuric acid and later neutralized with soda ash and then purified.[citation needed]
MP=125°C, BP=132°C, and cause dust explosion if enough amount of energy absorbed by it.[citation needed]
