| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
Chloropon is an obsolete herbicide. This substance has not been extensively studied and very little data is available. Ithas a low mammalian toxicity | [Production Methods]
Chloropon was commercially produced as part of mid-20th century efforts to develop chlorinated herbicides. Its synthesis typically involves chlorination of propanoic acid derivatives, introducing chlorine atoms at the alpha and beta positions to yield the trichlorinated acid. The process likely used reagents such as chlorine gas or thionyl chloride under controlled conditions to achieve selective halogenation. | [Mechanism of action]
Selective, systemic absorbed through leaves and roots. Inhibition of lipid synthesis. | [Pesticide Type]
Herbicide |
