2,6-Dinitroaniline herbicide; plant growth regulator. Butralin is used as a plant grow regulator on tobacco after the tobacco is topped. All tobacco is topped to stimulate desirable chemical and physical characteristics but also stimulates the growth of suckers. It may be used on food crops, broad leaf weeds and ornamentals in some countries. Butralin is been found effective in destroying opium poppy crops. All uses on food crops were canceled in January, 1991, and all uses on turf and ornamental grasses were voluntarily canceled in March, 1997. Actively registered for use in the United States Not approved for use in EU countrieS

If this chemical gets into the eyes, remove any contact lenses at once and irrigate immediately for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids. Seek medical attention immediately. If this chemical contacts the skin, remove contaminated clothing and wash immediately with soap and water. Seek medical attention immediately. If this chemical has been inhaled, remove from exposure, begin rescue breathing (using universal precautions) if breathing has stopped, and CPR if heart action has stopped. Transfer promptly to a medical facility. When this chemical has been swallowed, get medical attention. Give large quantities of water and induce vomiting. Do not make an unconscious person vomit

Butralin is a pre-emergence herbicide and growth inhibiting substance. It has a low aqueous solubility and is non-volatile. It tends not to be persistent in soils. Its persistent in water systems will depend upon local conditions. Toxicity to biodiversity tends to be moderate to high. It is moderately toxic to mammals if ingested and is an irritant.

Butralin is a yellow
orange crystalline solid or liquid. Commercial product is available as an emulsifiable concentrate.

Do not discharge into drains or sewers. Dispose of waste material as hazardous waste using a licensed disposal contractor to an approved landfill. Contact a licensed disposal facility about surplus andnonrecyclable solutions. Burn in a chemical incinerator equipped with an afterburner and scrubber. Extra care must be exercised as the material in an organic solvent is highly flammable. Consult with environmental regulatory agencies for guidance on acceptable disposal practices. Incineration with effluent gas scrubbing is recommended. Containers must be disposed of properly by following package label directions or by contacting your local or federal environmental control agency, or by contacting your regional EPA office. Do not reuse container.

Herbicide.

ChEBI: Butralin is a C-nitro compound.

Commercial production of butralin, typically, involves several key chemical and formulation steps to ensure its effectiveness and stability. The synthesis begins with the nitration of aniline derivatives to produce the dinitroaniline core structure. This is followed by alkylation, where a sec-butyl group is introduced to form butralin. Once synthesised, the technical-grade compound undergoes formulation into a suspension concentrate.
