Terbuchlor is an antiparasitic agent. A herbicide.

The commercial production of terbuchlor typically involves a multi-step synthesis starting with 2-chloro-o-toluidine and tert-butyl alcohol. These react under controlled conditions, often in the presence of a catalyst, to form the active compound N-(butoxymethyl)-N-(2-tert-butyl-6-methylphenyl)-2-chloroacetamide. The process includes steps such as alkylation, chlorination, and amide formation, followed by purification through crystallisation or chromatography to achieve high purity levels suitable for agricultural use.
