Dichloran is a component for pesticide formulations.
It is used as dyestuff, agricultural and pharmaceutical intermediate.
Dicloran is a protectant fungicide used to control various rots
pathogens (Botrytis, Monilinia, Rhizopus and Sclerotinia) in a wide
variety of fruits and vegetables.
ChEBI: A nitroaniline that is 4-nitroaniline in which the hydrogens at positions 2 and 6 are replaced by chlorines. An agricultural fungicide, it is not approved for use in the European Union.
Fungicide: Used to control fungi on a variety of crops. The top
crop usages in California are on celery, head lettuce, and
grapes (table, wine and raisin). Not approved for use in
EU countries. Actively registered in the U.S. Sixty-five
global suppliers.

Dichloran is a substituted benzene/
chlorophenyl fungicide Used to control fungi on a variety
of crops. The top crop usages in California are on celery,
head lettuce, and grapes (table, wine and raisin).
The metabolism of 2,6-dichloro-4-nitroaniline (DCNA)
in rat hepatic microsomes gives rise to the unique
metabolite 3,5-dichloro-4-aminophenol (DCAP).

Crystallise Dichloran from aqueous EtOH or *benzene/EtOH. [Beilstein 12 IV 1681.]
Dicloran (1) is stable to hydrolytic degradation (pH 5-9) up to 300 °C.
Degradation occurred when dicloran in pH 7 solution was irradiated with
UV light (>290 nm); the estimated DT50 was 41 days (PM). Smith-Downey
and Fordham (1990) reported the hydrolysis of dicloran in 6 M base to
yield 3,5-dichloro-4-aminophenol(2) as the only product detected.
Keep away from strong oxidizing agents,
strong acids; acid anhydrides; acid chlorides; acetic anhydride; and carbon dioxide
Consult with a licensed waste
disposal service or environmental regulatory agencies for
guidance on acceptable disposal practices. Dissolve or mix
material with a combustible solvent and burn in a chemical
incinerator equipped with an afterburner and scrubber
