1,3-Dichloropropene, sold under diverse trade names, is an organochlorine compound with the formula C3H4Cl2. It is a colorless liquid with a sweet smell. It is feebly soluble in water and evaporates easily. It is used mainly in farming as a pesticide, specifically as a preplant fumigant and nematicide. It acts non-specifically and is in IRAC class 8A. It is widely used in the US and other countries, but is banned in 34 countries (including the European Union).COMMISSION DECISION of 13 May 2022 concerning the non-approval of the active substance 1,3-dichloropropene, Official Journal of the European Union, 13 May 2022.
Production, chemical properties, biodegradation
It is a byproduct in the chlorination of propene to make allyl chloride.Krähling Ludger Allyl Compounds 2000-06-15 https://doi.org/10.1002/14356007.a01_425 Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry Weinheim, Germany Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

It is usually obtained as a mixture of the geometric isomers, called (Z)-1,3-dichloropropene, and (E)-1,3-dichloropropene. Although it was first applied in agriculture in the 1950s, at least two biodegradation pathways have evolved. One pathway degrades the chlorocarbon to acetaldehyde via chloroacrylic acid.Poelarends Gerrit J.

Safety
The TLV-TWA for 1,3-dichloropropene (DCP) is 1 ppm.Robert L. Metcalf "Insect Control" in Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry" Wiley-VCH, Wienheim, 2002. 10.1002/14356007.a14_263 It is a contact irritant. A wide range of complications have been reported.https://wwwn.cdc.gov/TSP/ToxFAQs/ToxFAQsLanding.aspx?id=835&tid=163 ToxFAQs – Letter A Toxic Substance Portal ATSDR
Carcinogenicity
Evidence for the carcinogenicity of 1,3-dichloropropene in humans is inadequate, but results from several cancer bioassays provide adequate evidence of carcinogenicity in animals. In the US, the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) has determined that 1,3-dichloropropene may reasonably be anticipated to be a carcinogen. The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has determined that 1,3-dichloropropene is possibly carcinogenic to humans. The EPA has classified 1,3-dichloropropene as a probable human carcinogen.

Market history
Under the brand name Telone, 1,3-D was one of Dow AgroSciences's products until the merger into DowDuPont. Then it was spun off with Corteva, and 2020 yes has been licensed to Telos Ag Solutions and is no longer a Corteva product.Telone soil fumigant to be distributed by Telos Ag Solutions Vegetable Growers News 2020-11-17 http://vegetablegrowersnews.com/news/telone-soil-fumigant-to-be-distributed-by-telos-ag-solutions/ 2021-07-06
