Profoxydim in Focus: A Structural Examination of Herbicide Behavior in Gas and Aqueous Phases.

This study investigates the chemical structure of profoxydim, focusing on its E-isomer, the main commercial form. The research aimed to determine the predominant tautomeric forms under various environmental conditions. Using proton and carbon-13 NMR spectroscopy alongside theoretical modeling, we examined tautomers and their conformers in different solvents (MeOD, DMSO, CDCl, benzene) to mimic gas and aqueous phases.
