Description

Potassium 2-(2,4-Dichlorophenoxy)-(R)-Propionate is the potassium salt of the (R)-enantiomer of the widely used herbicide 2,4-DP (dichlorprop). This specific stereoisomer is valued for its targeted biological activity and enhanced efficacy in selective weed control applications. It is a critical active ingredient for formulators in the agrochemical industry seeking advanced, high-performance herbicide solutions. The product is supplied as a high-purity technical material suitable for professional agricultural and horticultural use.

Application

• Selective Herbicide Formulation: Primary active ingredient in post-emergence herbicides for broadleaf weed control in cereal crops (e.g., wheat, barley, corn) and turf management.
• Horticulture and Viticulture: Used in specialized formulations for weed management in vineyards, orchards, and non-crop areas where selective action is required.
• Industrial Vegetation Control: Component in herbicide blends for managing unwanted vegetation along railways, roadways, and utility rights-of-way.
• Agricultural Research & Development: Serves as a reference standard and key intermediate in the synthesis and development of new chiral agrochemicals.
• Synthesis of Enantiopure Compounds: Used as a chiral building block or resolving agent in advanced organic synthesis for pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals.
