2,4,5-T Isopropyl ester

Description:
2,4,5-T Isopropyl ester, with the CAS number 93-78-7, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of herbicides. It is an ester derivative of 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T), which is a synthetic auxin used to control broadleaf weeds. The compound is characterized by its relatively low solubility in water but higher solubility in organic solvents, making it effective for application in various formulations. It typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid and has a distinct odor. The substance is known for its systemic action, allowing it to be absorbed by plants and translocated to growth points, leading to uncontrolled growth and eventual death of the target weeds. However, due to environmental and health concerns associated with its use, particularly regarding potential dioxin contamination, the use of 2,4,5-T and its derivatives has been restricted or banned in many countries. Proper handling and safety measures are essential when working with this chemical to mitigate any associated risks.
