2,6-Dichlorobenzeneacetonitrile

Description:

2,6-Dichlorobenzeneacetonitrile, with the CAS number 3215-64-3, is an organic compound characterized by a benzene ring substituted with two chlorine atoms at the 2 and 6 positions, and an acetonitrile functional group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on temperature and purity. It is known for its moderate solubility in organic solvents and limited solubility in water. The presence of the cyano group (-C≡N) contributes to its reactivity, making it useful in various chemical syntheses and applications, including as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. 2,6-Dichlorobenzeneacetonitrile exhibits characteristics typical of halogenated compounds, such as potential toxicity and environmental persistence. Safety precautions are necessary when handling this substance, as it may pose health risks through inhalation or skin contact. Proper storage and disposal methods should be followed to mitigate any environmental impact.

2,6-Dichlorophenylacetonitrile (2,6-DCPA) is a cyanide herbicide that controls weed growth. 2,6-DCPA is used as a preemergent herbicide and is applied to the soil before planting. It can be mixed with calcium oxide or other materials to form a dust, which is then applied to the soil surface. 2,6-DCPA inhibits plant growth by interfering with the photosynthesis process, which may be due to its high cytotoxicity. The exact mechanism of action has not been determined but it may be due to interference with chloride transport or ethyl esters production in plants. This chemical has also been shown to inhibit amine metabolism in plants and animals.
2,6-DCPA has two isomers: cis and trans. They differ only in the position of the chlorine atom on the benzene ring: cis (left) and trans (right).
