Difluorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DFDT) is a chemical compound. Its composition is the same as that of the insecticide DDT, except that two of DDT's chlorine atoms are replaced by two fluorine atoms.
DFDT was developed as an insecticide by German scientists during World War II. It is possible that Hoechst wanted to avoid license fees for DDT to Schering or the original developer J. R. Geigy (the later Ciba-Geigy). It was documented by Allied military intelligence, but for Americans it remained in obscurity after the war.
