MCPA 2-ethylhexyl ester

Description:
MCPA 2-ethylhexyl ester, with the CAS number 29450-45-1, is an ester derivative of the herbicide MCPA (2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid). This compound is primarily used in agricultural applications for the control of broadleaf weeds in various crops. It is characterized by its lipophilic nature, which enhances its ability to penetrate plant tissues. MCPA 2-ethylhexyl ester is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a characteristic odor. It has moderate volatility and is soluble in organic solvents, while being less soluble in water. The compound exhibits a relatively low toxicity profile to mammals but can be harmful to aquatic organisms, necessitating careful handling and application practices. Its mode of action involves mimicking natural plant hormones, leading to uncontrolled growth and eventual death of target weeds. As with many herbicides, environmental considerations are important, and its use is regulated in many regions to minimize potential ecological impacts.
