2-(4-Ethylphenoxy)acetic acid

Description:
2-(4-Ethylphenoxy)acetic acid, with the CAS number 24431-27-4, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure and functional groups. It features a phenoxy group, which is a phenyl ring bonded to an ether oxygen, and an acetic acid moiety, indicating the presence of a carboxylic acid functional group. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents, while its solubility in water may vary. The presence of the ethyl group on the phenyl ring contributes to its hydrophobic characteristics, influencing its interactions in biological systems. 2-(4-Ethylphenoxy)acetic acid is often studied for its potential applications in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, particularly as a herbicide or plant growth regulator. Its chemical properties, such as acidity and reactivity, are influenced by the electron-donating effects of the ethyl group and the electron-withdrawing nature of the carboxylic acid. Safety and handling precautions are essential, as with many organic compounds, to mitigate any potential hazards.
