CAS: 3239-35-8
Tanderinol, chemically known as 2-Chloro-N-(2,6-diethylphenyl)acetamide (CAS: 3239-35-8), is an organic compound primarily recognized as an acetamide herbicide. Its molecular formula is C12H16ClNO, and it has a molecular weight of 225.72 g/mol. This chemical typically presents as a colorless to off-white solid or powder, exhibiting limited solubility in water but higher solubility in various organic solvents. It is synthesized for its specific action against unwanted vegetation in agricultural settings.
Tanderinol is principally employed as a pre-emergence herbicide in agriculture. Its main use is to prevent the growth of a broad spectrum of annual grasses and broadleaf weeds by inhibiting their emergence from the soil. It is applied to crop fields before or shortly after planting.
The primary application of Tanderinol is in crop protection for economically significant crops such as corn (maize), cotton, soybeans, and peanuts. It functions by disrupting cell division and elongation within susceptible weed species, thereby preventing their successful germination and establishment. Its effectiveness is realized through soil application, where it creates a chemical barrier that affects germinating weed seeds and emerging seedlings.
Tanderinol is classified as moderately toxic via acute oral exposure and can act as an irritant to the skin and eyes. There is also a potential for skin sensitization. Inhalation or ingestion of the substance may be harmful. Environmentally, it shows moderate persistence in soil and poses a risk to aquatic organisms; therefore, proper application and waste disposal are essential to prevent groundwater contamination. When handling, it is recommended to use personal protective equipment, including gloves, eye protection, and respiratory protection. It should be stored in well-ventilated areas, away from ignition sources, and disposed of in accordance with local environmental regulations.
