  • Applications

    1,2-Dibromo-3-chloropropane (CAS 96-12-8) is historically used as a nematicide and soil fumigant in agriculture, notably for banana crops and other horticultural crops to control nematodes; it has also served as an industrial intermediate in the synthesis of other halogenated organic compounds; in chemical manufacturing and research settings it may be encountered as a reactive intermediate or precursor for related brominated and chlorinated organics; due to toxicity and regulatory restrictions, its use is limited and subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
