Isoprothiolane is a malonate ester, specifically diisopropyl malonate with the two methylene hydrogens at position 2 replaced by a 1,3-dithiolan-2-ylidene group. It functions as an insecticide and fungicide, controlling diseases such as Pyricularia oryzae, Helminthosporium sigmoideum, and Fusarium nivale. It acts as an insecticide, environmental contaminant, phospholipid biosynthesis inhibitor, and antifungal agrochemical. It is a member of dithiolanes, an isopropyl ester, and functionally related to malonic acid, deriving from a hydride of a 1,3-dithiolane.
