CYCLANILIDE

Chemical properties

A white or pale yellow, crystalline or powdery solid. No characteristic odor.

The Uses of CYCLANILIDE

Cyclanilide is a plant growth regulator that functions by interactting with auxin-regulated processes. Cyclanilide is commonly used on cotton plants to either suppress vegetative growth or accelerate senescence. Cyclanilide is also used as a bioregulator of deciduous fruit trees.

Definition

ChEBI: Cyclanilide is a monocarboxylic acid that is cyclopropanecarboxylic acid that is substituted by a 3,5-dichlorophenylcarbamoyl group at position 1. It is a plant growth regulator which is used as a cotton harvest aid. It has a role as a plant growth regulator and a fungicide. It is a dichlorobenzene, a member of cyclopropanes, an anilide and a monocarboxylic acid.

Potential Exposure

Cyclanilide, amalonanilate plant growth regulator and fungicide is used as a cotton harvest aid

UN2811 Toxic solids, organic, n.o.s., Hazard Class: 6.1; Labels: 6.1-Poisonous materials, Technical Name Required.

Incompatibilities

May react violently with strong oxidi- zers, bromine, 90% hydrogen peroxide, phosphorus trichloride, silver powders, or dust. Incompatible with silver compounds. Mixture with some silver compounds forms explosive salts of silver oxalate. Keep away from reducing agents, oxidizers, sulfuric acid, caustics, ammonia, aliphatic amines, alkanolamines, isocyanates, alkylene oxides, epi- chlorohydrin. Compounds of the carboxyl group react with all bases, both inorganic and organic (i.e., amines) releasing substantial heat, water, and a salt that may be harmful. Incompatible with arsenic compounds (releases hydrogen cyanide gas), diazo compounds, dithiocarbamates, isocya- nates, mercaptans, nitrides, sulfides (releasing heat, toxic, and possibly flammable gases), thiosulfates, and dithionites (releasing hydrogen sulfate and oxides of sulfur).

Waste Disposal

Dissolve or mix material with a combustible solvent and burn in a chemical incinerator equipped with an afterburner and scrubber. In accordance with 40CFR165 recommendations for the disposal of pesti- cides and pesticide containers. noncombustible containers should be crushed and buried under more than 40 cm of soil . Must be disposed properly by following package label directions or by contacting your local or federal envi- ronmental control agency, or by contacting your regional EPA office.
