2-(p-Chlorophenoxy)propanoic acid - Introduction
2-(4-chlorophenoxy)propionic acid is an organic compound with the chemical formula C9H9ClO3. It is a colorless to yellowish solid crystal with an odor of phenol. It is stable at room temperature, slightly soluble in water, soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone.
2-(4-chlorophenoxy)propionic acid is mainly used in agriculture as a herbicide. It can kill weeds by fighting the amino acid metabolism of plants, thus maintaining the growth condition of crops. It has high selectivity to some common weeds such as barnyardgrass and spring grass.
The method for preparing 2-(4-chlorophenoxy)propionic acid is generally obtained by thermal condensation of p-chlorobenzene and chloroacetic acid. This process requires higher temperatures and the presence of an acid catalyst.
When using 2-(4-chroophenoxy) propionic acid, you need to pay attention to its safety. It is a low-toxic compound, but still should avoid direct contact with the skin and eyes, avoid inhaling its dust or solution. Appropriate protective equipment, such as gloves and glasses, should be worn during operation. Keep away from fire and oxidant during storage. If ingested or inhaled, seek medical attention immediately.
