The activity generating the emissions is amidosulfuron production. The reference product is amidosulfuron. Amidosulfuron is an organic substance with the CAS no.: 120923-37-7. It is called 1-(4,6-dimethoxypyrimidin-2-yl)-3-[methyl(methylsulfonyl)sulfamoyl]urea under IUPAC naming and its molecular formula is: C9H15N5O7S2. It is solid under normal conditions of temperature and pressure, which is soluble in water and ethyl acetate. It is modelled as a pure substance. Modelling this substance in a solution requires the user to add the solvent of their choice in their models. Amidosulfuron is a herbicide applied to control broad-leaved weeds. It is used post-emergence and mainly on cleavers, in winter wheat, durum wheat, barely, rye and oats. It inhibts the synthesis of the amino acids valine and isoleucine which are necessary for the proteinsynthesis.
