:2,5-Dichloro-4-methoxybenzoic acid
Description:
2,5-Dichloro-4-methoxybenzoic acid is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of two chlorine atoms and a methoxy group on a benzoic acid framework. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is known for its moderate solubility in organic solvents, while being less soluble in water. The molecular structure features a benzene ring substituted at the 2 and 5 positions with chlorine atoms and at the 4 position with a methoxy group, which influences its chemical reactivity and physical properties. It is often utilized in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The presence of the carboxylic acid functional group contributes to its acidic properties, while the halogen substituents can enhance its reactivity in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions. Safety data indicates that, like many chlorinated compounds, it should be handled with care due to potential environmental and health impacts.

2,5-Dichloro-4-methoxybenzoic acid
CAS:<p>2,5-Dichloro-4-methoxybenzoic acid is a synthetic herbicide that inhibits the enzyme 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS). This enzyme is necessary for the synthesis of aromatic amino acids. 2,5-Dichloro-4-methoxybenzoic acid is used as a selective herbicide in plants grown in vitro to eliminate weeds. It is also used to control populations of wild plants and grasses. 2,5-Dichloro-4-methoxybenzoic acid has been shown to inhibit the growth of glyphosate resistant weed species by inhibiting EPSPS activity.</p>Purity:Min. 95%
