The IUPAC name of Carfentrazone is 2-chloro-3-[2-chloro-5-[4-(difluoromethyl)-3-methyl-5-oxo-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl]-4-fluorophenyl]propanoic acid . With the CAS registry number 128621-72-7, it is also named as Benzenepropanoic acid, .alpha.,2-dichloro-5-(4-(difluoromethyl)-4,5-dihydro-3-methyl-5-oxo-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl)-4-fluoro- ; 2-Chloro-3-{2-chloro-5-[4-(difluoromethyl)-3-methyl-5-oxo-4,5-dihydro-1H-1,2,4-triazol-1-yl]-4-fluorophenyl}propanoic acid ; Carfentrazone-ethyl chloropropionic acid .

The pure product is a viscous yellow liquid. The solubility in water is 12μg/L (20°C) and 22μg/L (5°C). The half-life in soil is only a few hours. Carfentrazone acts by inhibition of protoporphyrinogen oxidase, leading to membrane disruption. It is used in the Post-emergence control in cereals of a wide range of broad-leaved weeds, especially Galium aparine, Abutilon theophrasti, Ipomoea hederacea var. hederacea, Chenopodium album and several mustard species, at 9-35 g/ha. Because it can be absorbed by foliage with limited translocation. It also has good tolerance in wheat, barley and rice.
