The molecule is a carboxylic ester resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of clodinafop with the hydroxy group of prop-2-yn-1-ol. It is widely used as a herbicide for the control of annual grass weeds in cereal crops. It has a role as an EC 6.4.1.2 (acetyl-CoA carboxylase) inhibitor, a herbicide and an agrochemical. It is a carboxylic ester, an aromatic ether, an organochlorine compound, an organofluorine compound, a member of pyridines and a propyzamide. It derives from a prop-2-yn-1-ol and a clodinafop.
