Chemical compound
Chlormequat is an organic compound with the formula ClCH 2CH 2N(CH 3)+ 3 that is used as a plant growth regulator. It is typically sold as the chloride salt, chlormequat chloride[1] (C5H13Cl2N), a colorless hygroscopic crystalline substance that is soluble in water and ethanol.[2] It is an alkylating agent and a quaternary ammonium salt. Chlormequat is one of the onium-type growth regulators.[3]
