Xyloxadine, or dimenoxypyrin, is a pyridine herbicide which was never commercialised. It controls barnyard grass, foxtail and switch grass. PPDB reports it to be first mentioned in 2016, [1] however a Japanese study from 2014 explains a method for its synthesis. [2]

Chemically, xyloxadine technical grade is a racemate. [1] It is a derivative of acetyl chloride, sodium pyrithione and p-xylene. [3]
