:2-(3-Ethylphenoxy)acetic acid
Description:
2-(3-Ethylphenoxy)acetic acid, with the CAS number 1878-51-9, is an organic compound characterized by its phenoxyacetic acid structure. It features a phenyl ring substituted with an ethyl group at the meta position and an acetic acid moiety. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents, with limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic phenyl group. It exhibits properties typical of carboxylic acids, including the ability to form hydrogen bonds, which can influence its reactivity and interactions in biological systems. 2-(3-Ethylphenoxy)acetic acid is of interest in various fields, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, where it may serve as a precursor or intermediate in the synthesis of more complex molecules. Its specific applications can vary, but it is often studied for its potential biological activity and role in plant growth regulation. As with many organic compounds, handling should be done with care, considering safety data and potential environmental impacts.
