2,2-Dichloropropionic acid is the organic compound with the formula CH₃CCl₂CO₂H.^[1] A colorless liquid, it once was marketed under the name Dalapon as a selective herbicide used to control perennial grasses. The major use of dalapon was on food crops including sugarcane and sugar beets.^[2]

Regulation[]

Its use is no longer authorized in France.^[3]

The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health in the United States has identified it as a potential workplace hazard. The recommended time-weighted average exposure limit is 6 milligrams per cubic meter during a 10-hour workday.^[4]
