CAS 4841-20-7: methyl 2-(2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy)propanoate
Description:Methyl 2-(2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy)propanoate, with the CAS number 4841-20-7, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of esters. It is characterized by the presence of a methyl ester functional group and a trichlorophenoxy moiety, which contributes to its chemical properties and potential biological activity. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive odor. It is known for its use in agricultural applications, particularly as a herbicide, due to its ability to inhibit plant growth by interfering with specific biochemical pathways. The presence of chlorine atoms in its structure enhances its lipophilicity, which can affect its environmental persistence and bioaccumulation potential. Methyl 2-(2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy)propanoate is subject to regulatory scrutiny due to its potential ecological impact and toxicity to non-target organisms. Proper handling and disposal are essential to mitigate risks associated with its use.
