Usage

General Description

(2,4-dichlorophenyl)methanaminium chloride is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C7H8Cl2N that is commonly used as a herbicide. It is a salt derivative of the amine compound (2,4-dichlorophenyl)methanamine, which is often used in the production of agricultural chemicals. (2,4-dichlorophenyl)methanaminium chloride is primarily used as a weed killer to control unwanted vegetation in agricultural and non-agricultural areas. It is applied as a selective herbicide, targeting specific types of plants while leaving others unharmed. However, it is important to handle this chemical with caution, as it can be harmful if ingested, inhaled, or comes into contact with skin or eyes.

Direct cycle between co-product and reactant: An approach to improve the atom economy and its application in the synthesis and protection of primary amines

Two important goals of green chemistry are to maximize the efficiency of reactants and to minimize the production of waste. In this study, a novel approach to improve the atom economy of a chemical process was developed by incorporating a direct cycle between a co-product and a reactant of the same reaction. To demonstrate this concept, recoverable 3,4-diphenylmaleic anhydride (1) was designed and used for the atom-economical synthesis of aliphatic primary amines from aqueous ammonia. In each individual cycle, only ammonia and alkyl halide were consumed, and 1 was recovered in nearly a quantitative yield. In this approach for developing atom-economical protecting agents, 1 showed good performance as a recoverable protecting agent for primary amines. The broad substrate scope, good tolerance to various reaction conditions, and high reaction and recovery rates make 1 a valuable complement to conventional primary amine protecting agents.
