3842 6-Deisopropylatrazine 6-Deisopropylatrazine is a chlorinated degradation product of the herbicide atrazine (6-chloro-N2-ethyl-N4-isopropyl-1, 3,5-triazine-2,4-diamine). Atrazine is a herbicide of the triazine class. Atrazine is used to prevent pre and post-emergence broadleaf weeds in crops such as maize (corn) and sugarcane and on turf, such as golf courses and residential lawns. It is one of the most widely used herbicides in the US and in Australian agriculture.] It was banned in the European Union in 2004 because of persistent groundwater contamination. As of 2001, Atrazine was the most commonly detected pesticide contaminating drinking water in the United States. Studies suggest atrazine is an endocrine disruptor and it is thought that 6-Deisopropylatrazine may also have some endocrine disruptor capacity. Pesticide degradates account for a significant portion of the pesticide/herbicide load in surface water. t is a registered US EPA substance. 1007-28-9 13878 C5H8ClN5 White powder. No indication of carcinogenicity to humans (not listed by IARC). This is a man-made compound that is used as a pesticide. 2013-04-25T07:56:49Z 2014-12-24T20:26:32Z C06556 27399 true CCNC1=NC(N)=NC(Cl)=N1 C5H8ClN5 InChI=1S/C5H8ClN5/c1-2-8-5-10-3(6)9-4(7)11-5/h2H2,1H3,(H3,7,8,9,10,11) InChIKey=IVENSCMCQBJAKW-UHFFFAOYSA-N 173.604 173.046822988 Exogenous Solid CHEMBL1895845 13278
