1,3-Difluoro-2-propanol is a metabolic poison which disrupts the citric acid cycle and is used as a rodenticide, similar to sodium fluoroacetate. It is the main ingredient (along with 1-chloro-3-fluoro-2-propanol) in the rodenticide product Gliftor which was widely used in the former USSR{{cite journal | vauthors = Buklan AI, Kravets AF | title = [Gliftor poisoning] | language = ru | journal = Sudebno-Meditsinskaia Ekspertiza | volume = 29 | issue = 1 | pages = 55–6 | year = 1986 | pmid = 3961873 }}{{cite journal | vauthors = Feldwick MG, Noakes PS, Prause U, Mead RJ, Kostyniak PJ | title = The biochemical toxicology of 1,3-difluoro-2-propanol, the major ingredient of the pesticide gliftor: the potential of 4-methylpyrazole as an antidote | journal = Journal of Biochemical and Molecular Toxicology | volume = 12 | issue = 1 | pages = 41–52 | year = 1998 | pmid = 9414486 | doi = 10.1002/(SICI)1099-0461(1998)12:1<41::AID-JBT6>3.0.CO;2-P | s2cid = 29455648 }}{{cite journal | vauthors = Menon KI, Feldwick MG, Noakes PS, Mead RJ | title = The mode of toxic action of the pesticide gliftor: the metabolism of 1,3-difluoroacetone to (−)-erythro-fluorocitrate | journal = Journal of Biochemical and Molecular Toxicology | volume = 15 | issue = 1 | pages = 47–54 | year = 2001 | pmid = 11170315 | doi = 10.1002/1099-0461(2001)15:1<47::AID-JBT6>3.0.CO;2-E | s2cid = 9064673 }} and still approved in China.{{cite web |last1=Wood |first1=Alan |title=Gliftor |url=http://www.alanwood.net/pesticides/gliftor.html |website=Compendium of Pesticide Common Names |access-date=14 June 2021}}
