Product Information
Name:2,6-Dichlorophenylacetonitrile
Brand:Biosynth
Description: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).
