Ethyl 2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetate

Description:
Ethyl 2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetate, with the CAS number 2698-38-6, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of phenoxyacetic acid esters. It features a phenoxy group, which is a phenol derivative where a hydrogen atom is replaced by an ether linkage, and an acetate functional group. This compound is characterized by its moderate polarity due to the presence of both hydrophobic aromatic and hydrophilic ester functionalities. Ethyl 2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetate is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a pleasant odor. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether but has limited solubility in water. This compound is often utilized in agricultural applications as a herbicide, targeting specific plant growth pathways. Its chlorinated aromatic structure contributes to its biological activity, while the ethyl acetate moiety enhances its volatility and efficacy in formulations. Safety data indicates that it should be handled with care, as it may pose environmental and health risks if not managed properly.
