Product Information

• Name: 2,3-Difluoro-6-methoxybenzoic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2,3-Difluoro-6-methoxybenzoic acid is a crystalline compound with an unusual chemical structure. It has been shown to be biologically active in experiments on plants and fungi. Experiments indicate that 2,3-difluoro-6-methoxybenzoic acid is an effective herbicide with a wide spectrum of activity against many types of weeds, including grasses, sedges, and broadleaf weeds. This compound also has the ability to inhibit the growth of some bacteria. The herbicidal activity of 2,3-difluoro-6-methoxybenzoic acid may result from its ability to inhibit plant cell respiration by blocking the electron transport chain at complex II. The inhibition of bacterial cells may be due to its inhibition of DNA synthesis or protein synthesis.
