China and the United States are the leading exporters of 2,3-Dichloropropene (CAS 78-88-6), together accounting for the majority of global shipments, while India, South Korea, and Germany represent the largest importers. Imports by India and South Korea have risen steadily since 2022, coinciding with increased domestic demand for agrochemical intermediates and relative stability in 2,3-Dichloropropene prices.
2,3-Dichloropropene is a colorless to pale yellow, volatile liquid with a chloroform-like odor. It is an unsaturated aliphatic organochloride and classified as a reactive halogenated olefin intermediate. Its boiling point is approximately 77–79 °C, and it is immiscible with water but soluble in common organic solvents. Primarily used as a chemical intermediate, it serves in the synthesis of agrochemicals—including herbicides such as dalapon and the fungicide dichlofluanid—as well as pharmaceuticals and specialty chemicals. Its main application areas are agrochemical manufacturing and fine chemical synthesis.
