General Description

1-[cyano(phenyl)methyl]-1-phenylurea is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C16H13N3O. It is commonly used as a herbicide and belongs to the class of urea-based herbicides. 1-[cyano(phenyl)methyl]-1-phenylurea works by inhibiting the enzyme acetolactate synthase, which is essential for the biosynthesis of branched-chain amino acids in plants. By disrupting this process, the herbicide effectively kills unwanted plant species by preventing their normal growth and development. 1-[cyano(phenyl)methyl]-1-phenylurea is known for its selective action, targeting only specific types of plants while leaving others unharmed. This makes it a valuable tool in agriculture for controlling weeds and ensuring the successful growth of desired crops.
