2-[2,4-Bis(1,1-dimethylpropyl)phenoxy]butanoic acid

Description:

2-[2,4-Bis(1,1-dimethylpropyl)phenoxy]butanoic acid, commonly referred to by its CAS number 13403-01-5, is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of phenoxy acids. This substance is characterized by its complex structure, which includes a butanoic acid moiety linked to a phenoxy group that is further substituted with two bulky 1,1-dimethylpropyl groups. These substituents contribute to its hydrophobic nature, influencing its solubility and interaction with biological systems. The compound is primarily recognized for its applications in agriculture, particularly as a herbicide, due to its ability to disrupt plant growth by mimicking natural plant hormones. Its efficacy and selectivity make it valuable in controlling specific weed species while minimizing impact on crops. Additionally, the presence of multiple alkyl groups enhances its stability and persistence in the environment. Safety and environmental impact assessments are essential for its use, as with any agrochemical, to ensure responsible application and minimize ecological risks.
