Quinclorac is a chemical compound and a growth agent herbicide ( synthetic auxin ) introduced by BASF in 1989 .

Extraction and presentation

Quinclorac can be obtained from 7-chloro-8-methylquinoline . This is chlorinated and then reacts further with hydroxylamine hydrochloride, the chlorine on the side chain being replaced by a nitrile group. It is hydrolyzed to carboxylic acid by reaction with sulfuric acid.

use

Quinclorac works specifically against grass weeds and is mainly used against chicken millet ( Echinochloa ) in rice cultivation.

Admission

No plant protection products containing this active ingredient are permitted in the EU or Switzerland . For example, BASF sells the active ingredient on the Brazilian market.
