a mixture of the enantiomeric pairs (3RS,4RS;3RS,4SR)-3-chloro-4-chloromethyl-1-(α,α,α-trifluoro-m-tolyl)-2-pyrrolidone (isomers in the ratio 3:1)

3-chloro-4-(chloromethyl)-1-[3-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]-2-pyrrolidinone

C₁₂H₁₀Cl₂F₃NO

Flurochloridone is a selective pre-emergence residual herbicide of the pyrrolidone group for control of many broadleaf and some grass weeds in sunflowers, potatoes, carrots, parsley, dill, coriander, chickpeas, winter wheat, winter rye, maize and sugar cane.

Flurochloridone is taken up by the roots of the plants and is quickly translocated to the foliar tissues in susceptible plants. Germinating weeds are killed before emergence or emerge bleached and quickly die.

Capsule suspension, emulsifiable concentrate.

Environmental fate: 
Animals:Flurochloridone is extensively metabolised and rapidly excreted in rats; >95% of orally applied dose was excreted in 90 h. Metabolism by oxidation, hydrolysis and glutathione conjugation yielded numerous metabolites in urine and faeces.Soil:In the lab., flurochloridone is readily degraded in soil, mostly forming CO₂ and a bound residue; DT₅₀ (3 soil types, aerobic, 28 °C) 4, 5 and 27 d; two metabolites were formed, which were readily degraded further. InPlant:Flurochloridone is rapidly metabolised in plants. Numerous minor metabolites are formed through oxidation and conjugation. Residue levels of flurochloridone in crops are generally <0.05 mg/ kg.

Signal Word:CAUTION; Hazard Class:III(Slightly hazardous)
