[4-(1,1-Dimethylethyl)phenoxy]-acetic acid, TAC acid - Introduction

4-tert-Butylphenoxyacetic acid is an organic compound with the chemical formula C12H16O3. It is a solid, soluble in organic solvents such as methanol and methylene chloride.

The compound is mainly used in the field of pesticides, as one of the ingredients of fungicides and herbicides. It can control plant growth and development by affecting plant growth regulating substances.

The preparation method of 4-tert-Butyloxyacetic acid is mainly achieved by acylation reaction. First, p-tert-butylphenol and sodium acetate are reacted in an alcohol solvent to form p-tert-butylphenol acetate, which is then hydrolyzed under alkaline conditions to form 4-tert-Butylphenoxyacetic acid.

For safety information, 4-tert-Butylphenoxyacetic acid may cause irritation to the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment such as gloves, safety goggles and protective masks during operation. It should be stored in a dry, cool place, away from heat sources and open flames. Do not contact it with strong oxidizing agents to avoid dangerous reactions.
