| Questions And Answer | Back Directory | [Uses]
2-(3,4-Dichlorophenoxy)ethyl diethylamine, commonly known as yield-increasing amine (DCPTA), was first discovered by American chemical researchers in 1977. It is a high-performance plant growth regulator that has shown significant yield-increasing effects on many agricultural crops and can improve fertilizer utilization and increase crop stress resistance. |

White Powder | [Production Methods]
Commercial production of DCPTA, typically begins with the synthesis of 3,4-dichlorophenol, which is then reacted with 2-chloro-N,N-diethylethanamine through a nucleophilic substitution process. This reaction forms the ether linkage between the phenoxy group and the ethylamine chain. The process is carried out under controlled conditions using organic solvents and a base to facilitate the substitution, followed by purification steps such as crystallisation or distillation to isolate the final compound. | [Mechanism of action]
Absorbed by stems and foliage. Substance has been shown to improve photosynthesis, increasing chlorophyll, plant sugar and starch content. | [Pesticide Type]
