Dichlorprop

Description:

Dichlorprop, also known as 2,4-dichlorophenoxypropionic acid, is a selective herbicide primarily used for controlling broadleaf weeds in various crops. It belongs to the phenoxy herbicide family and is characterized by its ability to mimic plant hormones, disrupting normal growth processes in target weeds. The chemical structure features a propionic acid moiety linked to a dichlorophenoxy group, which contributes to its herbicidal activity. Dichlorprop is typically applied in agricultural settings and can be found in formulations that allow for effective weed management. Its mode of action involves the inhibition of cell division and elongation in susceptible plants. While it is effective in controlling weeds, it is essential to handle dichlorprop with care due to potential environmental impacts and toxicity to non-target organisms. Regulatory assessments have established guidelines for its use to minimize risks to human health and the ecosystem. As with any chemical substance, proper application techniques and adherence to safety protocols are crucial to ensure effective and responsible use.

Dichloroprop-d7

Controlled Product

CAS: 120-36-5

Applications Dichloroprop-d7 can be obtained from Phenol-d5 (P318003) which is purified here for molecular genetics applications. It is naturally found in tea leaves and plants, and has uses in the synthesis of antioxidant compounds due to the antioxidant activity caused by the phenol moiety. This structure also allows it to be used for syntheses of anti-bacterial & anti-carcinogenic compounds. This is the labelled analog.
