CAS 10443-70-6: MCPB ethyl

Description: MCPB ethyl, or 4-(4-chloro-2-methylphenoxy)butanoic acid ethyl ester, is a chemical compound primarily used as a herbicide. It belongs to the class of phenoxy herbicides, which are known for their selective action against broadleaf weeds while being less harmful to grasses. The compound exhibits characteristics typical of phenoxy acids, including a relatively low solubility in water but higher solubility in organic solvents, which facilitates its application in agricultural settings. MCPB ethyl acts by mimicking natural plant hormones, leading to uncontrolled growth and eventual death of susceptible plants. Its mode of action involves the disruption of normal plant growth processes, particularly affecting cell division and elongation. Safety and environmental impact assessments are crucial for its use, as with many herbicides, to mitigate potential risks to non-target species and ecosystems. Proper handling and application guidelines are essential to ensure efficacy while minimizing adverse effects.
