4,5-dichloro-2,3-dihydro-1H-1,3-benzodiazol-2-one

4,5-Dichloro-1,3-dihydro-2H-benzimidazol-2-one is derived from 2,3,4-Trichloronitrobenzene (T774430), which is a useful synthetic intermediate that is mainly used as the starting material in the synthesis of third generation quinolone anti-bacterial drugs, such as Lomefloxacin (L469415, HCl) and Ofloxacin (O245750). 2,3,4-Trichloronitrobenzene is also used as the starting material in the synthesis of Aclonifen (A190200); a compound used as a pesticide and herbicide.
