Episode 1: Introduction to Chirality in Agrochemicals
Introduction Chirality, the property of a molecule that makes it non-superimposable on its mirror image, is a crucial consideration in agrochemistry. Agrochemicals such as pesticides, herbicides, and fungicides often contain one or more stereogenic centers. The two enantiomers of a chiral molecule can behave very differently in biological systems, leading to differences in efficacy, toxicity, and environmental persistence. In agriculture, where large amounts of chemicals are released into the environment, these differences have far-reaching implications …
