MCPA-butyl

Description:
MCPA-butyl, with the CAS number 1713-12-8, is a chemical compound that belongs to the class of phenoxy herbicides. It is a butyl ester of 4-chloro-2-methylphenoxyacetic acid (MCPA), which is primarily used in agricultural applications for controlling broadleaf weeds in various crops. The compound exhibits characteristics typical of herbicides, including selective toxicity to certain plant species while being less harmful to others. MCPA-butyl is generally soluble in organic solvents and has limited solubility in water, which influences its application and environmental behavior. Its mode of action involves the disruption of plant growth by mimicking natural plant hormones, leading to uncontrolled growth and eventual death of susceptible weeds. Safety and environmental impact assessments are crucial for its use, as with many agrochemicals, to mitigate potential risks to non-target organisms and ecosystems. Proper handling and application practices are essential to maximize efficacy while minimizing adverse effects.
