Chemical identity and properties

Trifluralin
Trifluralin is a substituted aniline that is N,N-dipropylaniline substituted by a nitro groups at positions 2 and 6 and a trifluoromethyl group at position 4. It is an agrochemical used as a pre-emergence herbicide. It has a role as a herbicide, an agrochemical, a xenobiotic and an environmental contaminant. It is a C-nitro compound, a substituted aniline and a member of (trifluoromethyl)benzenes. — ChEBI
