2-Phenoxybutanoic acid

Description:
2-Phenoxybutanoic acid is an organic compound characterized by its phenoxy group attached to a butanoic acid backbone. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its form and purity. This compound is known for its role as a herbicide and plant growth regulator, influencing various physiological processes in plants. Its molecular structure includes a butanoic acid moiety, which contributes to its acidity and potential reactivity. The phenoxy group enhances its lipophilicity, allowing it to penetrate plant tissues effectively. 2-Phenoxybutanoic acid is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water, which affects its application in agricultural practices. Additionally, it exhibits moderate toxicity to non-target organisms, necessitating careful handling and application. As with many chemical substances, safety data sheets should be consulted for information on hazards, handling, and environmental impact. Overall, 2-Phenoxybutanoic acid is significant in agricultural chemistry for its herbicidal properties and its influence on plant growth regulation.
