2-methyl-2-(2-methylphenoxy)propanoic acid

Description:
2-Methyl-2-(2-methylphenoxy)propanoic acid, with the CAS number 53498-62-7, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which includes a propanoic acid backbone substituted with a 2-methylphenoxy group. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid or crystalline substance. It is known for its role as a herbicide, particularly in agricultural applications, where it functions by inhibiting specific plant growth processes. The presence of the methyl and phenoxy groups contributes to its lipophilicity, enhancing its ability to penetrate plant tissues. The compound is generally stable under standard conditions but may undergo hydrolysis in the presence of strong acids or bases. Its solubility varies, often being more soluble in organic solvents than in water. Safety data indicates that, like many chemical substances, it should be handled with care, as it may pose environmental risks and potential toxicity to non-target organisms. Proper safety measures, including the use of personal protective equipment, are recommended when working with this compound.
