Coordinates were extracted from CSD entry PABNEM (F.Tsorteki, D.Mentzafos: Carbohydr.Res. , 337, 1229, 2002). The investigated compound is heptakis(2,6-Di-O-methyl)-\b-cyclodextrin (2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid) cla
thrate hydrate of which 2,4-D was extracted and a hydrogen added at O38.
The first successfully developed herbicide, 2,4-D, is a member of the phenoxy family of herbicides. Today, it is the third most widely used herbicide in North America and it is an active ingredient in over 1500 pesticide products. Its predominant uses are in the field of agriculture, specifically on wheat and small grains, corn, rice, sugar-cane, low-till soybeans, pasture, and rangeland. In addition, it is also used in non-crop areas, such as on roadsides, forestry, lawn and turf care, and on aquatic weeds. One of the short-term effects of inhalation or oral exposure to 2,4-D is neuro-toxicity. Symptoms could include stiffness of the arms and legs, lethargy, anorexia, and coma in humans. It could lead to irritation of the gastrointestinal tract thus causing nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Dermal contact leads to skin rash or dermatitis in humans.
