General Description

1-(2-cyanoethyl)-1-cyclohexyl-3-phenylurea, also known as clofencet, is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C16H21N3O. It is a urea derivative with a cyanogroup, cyclohexyl group, and a phenyl group attached to the urea nitrogen atom. Clofencet is commonly used as an herbicide to control broadleaf weeds in agricultural crops. It works by inhibiting photosystem II in the target plants, ultimately leading to their death. This chemical is a white crystalline solid that is sparingly soluble in water and has a melting point of 160-163 °C. Clofencet should be handled with care due to its herbicidal properties and potential harm to the environment.
