Sodium (2,4-dichlorophenoxy)acetate

Description:
Sodium (2,4-dichlorophenoxy)acetate, with the CAS number 2702-72-9, is a chemical compound that serves primarily as a herbicide. It is a salt formed from the reaction of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid and sodium hydroxide. This compound is characterized by its ability to mimic the natural plant hormone auxin, leading to uncontrolled growth in susceptible plants, ultimately resulting in their death. It is typically a white to off-white crystalline powder that is soluble in water, which facilitates its application in agricultural settings. The compound is known for its selective herbicidal properties, targeting broadleaf weeds while being less harmful to grasses. Its use is regulated in many regions due to potential environmental impacts and toxicity to non-target organisms. Safety measures are recommended when handling this substance, as it can cause irritation to the skin and eyes. Overall, sodium (2,4-dichlorophenoxy)acetate is an important tool in weed management, but its application must be carefully managed to mitigate ecological risks.
