Description

Diquat Dipyridone CAS NO 35022-72-1 is a high-purity chemical intermediate of significant commercial importance. It serves as a critical precursor in the synthesis of Diquat, a widely used non-selective herbicide and desiccant. This compound is essential for manufacturers in the agrochemical sector seeking reliable, high-quality raw materials for crop protection products. Its consistent purity is vital for ensuring the efficacy and stability of the final formulated herbicides.

Application

• Primary Intermediate for Diquat Herbicide Synthesis: The foremost application is in the manufacturing of Diquat dibromide and other Diquat salts used as fast-acting, non-selective herbicides and desiccants.
• Agrochemical Formulations: Used in the production of various commercial herbicide formulations for pre-harvest desiccation of crops like potatoes, cotton, and sunflowers, and for general weed control in non-crop areas.
• Chemical Research & Development: Serves as a key starting material in R&D laboratories for developing new bipyridylium-based compounds and studying their biological activity.
• Specialty Chemical Synthesis: Potential use as a building block for synthesizing other complex organic molecules, including dyes, catalysts, or electronic materials, due to its bipyridyl core structure.
