The molecule is the methyl ester of cloransulam. An inhibitor of acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS), it prevents the synthesis of amino acids in plants and is used as a herbicide for the control of post-emergence control of broad-leaved weeds in soybeans. It is not approved for use within the European Area. It has a role as a herbicide, an EC 2.2.1.6 (acetolactate synthase) inhibitor and an agrochemical. It is a methyl ester, a sulfonamide, a member of monochlorobenzenes, an organofluorine compound and a member of triazolopyrimidines. It derives from a cloransulam.
