Propanoic acid, 2-(3,4-dichlorophenoxy)-2-methyl-

Description:

Propanoic acid, 2-(3,4-dichlorophenoxy)-2-methyl-, also known by its CAS number 103905-85-7, is an organic compound characterized by its propanoic acid backbone, which features a carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH). The presence of a 3,4-dichlorophenoxy group indicates that the compound has a phenolic structure with two chlorine substituents on the aromatic ring, contributing to its chemical properties and potential biological activity. The additional methyl group at the second carbon of the propanoic acid chain enhances its hydrophobic characteristics. This compound is likely to exhibit moderate solubility in organic solvents and limited solubility in water due to the hydrophobic nature of the chlorinated aromatic moiety. Its structure suggests potential applications in agrochemicals or pharmaceuticals, particularly in herbicides or as a biochemical agent, although specific applications would depend on further research into its efficacy and safety. As with many chlorinated compounds, environmental persistence and toxicity are important considerations in its use and regulation.
