4-Fluorophenoxyacetic acid

CAS: 405-79-8

4-Fluorophenoxyacetic acid is a chemical compound that is used as an insecticide. It has been shown to be effective against the planthopper and ipomoea, two agricultural pests. 4-Fluorophenoxyacetic acid binds to the active site of a specific protein in the insect's cells, inhibiting its function and causing cell death. 4-Fluorophenoxyacetic acid also inhibits the growth of human breast cancer cells in culture. The molecular weight of this compound is 180.2 g/mol and has a melting point of 185°C with a boiling point of 232°C at atmospheric pressure. 4-Fluorophenoxyacetic acid can be synthesized by reacting phenol with acetic anhydride in the presence of palladium complexes and nitrogen atoms. The reaction mechanism for this synthesis is nucleophilic addition to form a covalent bond between the nitrogen atom and sulfur atom on one side of the
