Description

3,5-Dichloro-4-pyridinecarbonitrile is a synthetic herbicide that is used to control weeds. It has been shown to be effective against velvetleaf and portulaca oleracea. This compound inhibits the biosynthesis of formic acid and prevents the formation of hydroxylamine, which is an important intermediate in the synthesis of chlorophyll. 3,5-Dichloro-4-pyridinecarbonitrile also exhibits a strong inhibitory activity against plant tissue culture cells.br>

3,5-Dichloro-4-pyridinecarbonitrile is an analog for hirsutum, thidiazuron and other herbicides. It binds to the enzyme acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS), inhibiting the production of shikimic acid from chorismate. The product of this reaction will be an intermediate in the synthesis of aromatic amino
