3,4-Dichlorobenzyl methylcarbainate is a selective preemergence herbicide active against both grass and broadleaf weeds. Synthesis of pigment is inhibited in species sensitive to this chemical. Minor structural modifications, such as positioning of the chlorine on the phenyl ring or variations in the N-substituent, significantly alter its activity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
