PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
description
4,5-dichloro-2-n-octyl-3(2H)-isothiazolone is a 1,2-thiazole that is 1,2-thiazol-3(2H)-one substituted by chloro groups at positions 4 and 5 and an octyl group at position 2. It is used as a fungicide. It has a role as an environmental contaminant, a xenobiotic and a fungicide. It is an organochlorine compound and a member of 1,2-thiazoles.
