2,6-Dichlorobenzonitrile
2,6-Dichlorobenzonitrile (CAS: 1194-65-6), also known as dichlobenil, is a white crystalline herbicide that inhibits cell division in germinating weeds. It is used for pre-emergence weed control in orchards, vineyards, berry fields, ornamentals, and industrial areas, and it also serves as a preservative in adhesives and industrial products. As an intermediate, the activated nitrile with two chloro substituents supports further nucleophilic substitution chemistry in agrochemical and fine-chemical synthesis, giving access to substituted benzonitrile families. The solid is stable, easy to formulate, and applied as granules or sprays in the field. Customers procure it for weed-control formulations and specialty biocide applications.
• Herbicide: pre-emergence control of annual grasses and broadleaf weeds in orchards, vineyards, and berry crops.
• Industrial weed control: used along railroads, sewers, and non-crop industrial areas for total vegetation management.
• Preservative: serves as a biocide in adhesives and industrial formulations where fungal control is needed.
• Synthetic intermediate: a reactive dichloro nitrile supporting nucleophilic substitution for further products.
