2,4-Dichlorophenyl butyrate - Introduction

Ethyl 2,4-dichlorophenylacetate is a chemical substance whose chemical formula is C10H9Cl2O2. The following is a description of its nature, use, preparation and safety information:

Nature:
Ethyl 2,4-dichlorophenylacetate is a colorless to pale yellow liquid with an aromatic odor similar to fruit aromas. It is insoluble in water, but soluble in many organic solvents such as ethanol and ether. It has a melting point of about -5 degrees Celsius and a boiling point of about 235 degrees Celsius.

Use:
Ethyl 2,4-dichlorophenylacetate is mainly used in the synthesis of pesticides and pharmaceutical intermediates. It is an important chemical raw material that can be used in the preparation of pesticides and herbicides. In addition, it can also be used as one of the ingredients of spices, flavors and food additives.

Preparation Method:
Ethyl 2,4-dichlorophenylacetate is mainly prepared by chlorination of phenylacetic acid. First, phenylacetic acid and thionyl chloride are mixed and reacted under appropriate conditions to produce 2,4-dichlorophenylacetic acid. The resulting 2,4-dichlorophenylacetic acid was then reacted with ethanol to give the final Ethyl 2,4-dichlorophenylacetate.

Safety Information:
Ethyl 2,4-dichlorophenylacetate is relatively safe when used and stored correctly. However, it is a flammable liquid, and heat, fire and oxidant may cause it to burn. During operation, contact with strong oxidants and strong acids should be avoided to prevent dangerous situations. Wear appropriate protective equipment, such as gloves and glasses, to avoid direct contact with skin and eyes. If inhaled or exposed to the substance, seek medical help immediately.

Please note that the use and handling of chemicals should be carried out under suitable laboratory conditions and follow local safe operating procedures and regulations.
