| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Description]
Chlormequat, usually used as the chloride derivative, is a plant growth retardant inhibiting cell elongation. It has a high aqueous solubility and does not tend to be persistent in the environment. It is moderately with some risk of it leaching to groundwater. It has a low to moderate toxicity to most species including mammals, birds, fish and honeybees. It is considered to be a reproduction/development toxin but no other serious health issues have been identified. | [Definition]
ChEBI: Chlormequat is a quaternary ammonium ion that is choline in which the hydroxy group has been replaced by a chlorine. Its salts (particularly the chloride salt, known as chlormequat chloride) are used as plant growth retardants. It has a role as a plant growth retardant. | [Production Methods]
Chlormequat is produced commercially as the chloride variant through a straightforward chemical synthesis involving two key reactants: ethylene dichloride and trimethylamine. Ethylene dichloride is typically heated in a reactor and trimethylamine is introduced either in liquid or gaseous form. This reaction produces chlormequat chloride via quaternization of the amine. | [Mechanism of action]
