ChEBI Name	clethodim

ChEBI ID	CHEBI:70721

Definition	An oxime O-ether resulting from the formal conversion ot the acyclic keto group of 5-[2-(ethylsulfanyl)propyl]-3-hydroxy-2-propionylcyclohex-2-en-1-one to the corresponding oxime with subsequent O-alkylation of the oxime by an (E)-3-chloroallyl group. It is used as a selective postemergence herbicide for the control of annual and perennial grasses in numerous crops, including alfalfa, celery, clover, conifers, cotton, cranberries, garlic, onions, ornamentals, peanuts, soybeans, strawberries, sugarbeet, sunflowers, and vegetables; the (−)-enantiomer has been reported to be more active than the (+)-enantiomer.

General Comments
2012-10-20	Note from Barrie Walker (19/10/2012): The material has E stereochem at the allyl double bond, but undefined stereo (geometry) at the oxime double bond. The CAS number remains the same (I persuaded CAS to retain it). This was a revision to the original definition which took place about 3 years ago. There are several possible tautomers but all have the undefined oxime double bond.
2012-10-20	The name clethodim was originally approved for the substance with (E)-stereochemistry at the C=N double bond, but in 2008 the manufacturer determined that the (Z)-isomer is also present in the manufactured product and requested that the definition be changed.
