Urea, N-butyl-N'-[1-(3,4-dichlorophenyl)-1-methylethyl]-N-methyl-, also known as DCPMU, is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C14H20Cl2N2O. It is a derivative of urea, featuring a butyl group, a 3,4-dichlorophenyl group, and a methyl group attached to the nitrogen atoms. DCPMU is primarily used as a herbicide, specifically targeting the inhibition of photosynthesis in plants by binding to the D1 protein of Photosystem II. This action disrupts the electron transport chain, leading to the death of the plant. The compound is effective against a wide range of broadleaf and grassy weeds, making it a valuable tool in agriculture for controlling weed growth. Its chemical structure and mode of action contribute to its selectivity and effectiveness in weed management.
The CAS Registry Mumber 64795-76-2 includes 8 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 5 digits, 6,4,7,9 and 5 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 7 and 6 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 64795-76: (7*6)+(6*4)+(5*7)+(4*9)+(3*5)+(2*7)+(1*6)=172 172 % 10 = 2 So 64795-76-2 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
