<p>Applications 4'-Chlorobiphenyl-2-ylamine is used as a reagent in the synthesis of Boscalid (B675850); a fungicide belonging to the class of carboxamides. Boscalid acts by inhibiting spore germination and germ tube elongation, and is also effective on all other stages of fungal development. Boscalid is used in the agriculture to protect crops from gray mold, powdery mildew, and other fungus.<br>References Yan, F. et al.: Nongyao, 47, 132 (2008); Lozowicka, B. et al.: Prog.
