N-(2-Ethyl-6-methylphenyl)-N-(2-sulfoacetyl)-L-alanine is a phenolic compound that inhibits the activity of terminal enzymes in fatty acid biosynthesis. It binds to the enzyme and prevents it from attaching to the fatty acid substrate, thereby inhibiting the synthesis of fatty acids. This compound also inhibits enzyme activities including polymerase chain reactions (PCR) and biochemical composition analyses, which are used for the detection of herbicides in plants. N-(2-Ethyl-6-methylphenyl)-N-(2-sulfoacetyl)-L-alanine is an analytical method for determining the presence of specific herbicides that inhibit plant growth. The herbicide targets enzymes such as acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS), acetolactate synthase (ALS), and hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD). N-(2-Ethyl-6-

Stability Hygroscopic Applications N-(2-Ethyl-6-methylphenyl)-N-(2-sulfoacetyl)-L-alanine is a pesticide metabolite that is a pollutant found in in surface water and groundwater.
