CAS 94-74-6

(4-Chloro-2-methylphenoxy)acetic acid

Description:

(4-Chloro-2-methylphenoxy)acetic acid, with the CAS number 94-74-6, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of phenoxyacetic acids. It is characterized by the presence of a chloro group and a methyl group on the aromatic ring, which influences its chemical properties and biological activity. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid and is soluble in organic solvents while exhibiting limited solubility in water. It is primarily used as a herbicide, effective against a variety of broadleaf weeds, and functions by disrupting plant growth processes. The compound's mode of action involves mimicking natural plant hormones, leading to uncontrolled growth and eventual plant death. Safety considerations include potential toxicity to aquatic organisms and the need for careful handling to minimize environmental impact. As with many chemical substances, proper storage and disposal methods are essential to mitigate risks associated with its use.

2-Methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid

CAS: 94-74-6

2-Methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid is a sodium salt of 2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid. It is a herbicide that inhibits photosynthesis by disrupting the electron transport chain in chloroplasts. The hydroxyl group on the phenoxy ring is responsible for its herbicidal activity. 2-Methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid has been shown to cause significant cell death in tissue culture, which may be due to its ability to inhibit enzymes such as acetylcholinesterase, phosphodiesterase, and carboxypeptidase A2. This chemical also has carcinogenic potential, but no toxicological studies have been conducted in humans or animals.
