Product Information

• Name: 4-[(4-Chlorobenzyl)oxy]benzoic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-[(4-Chlorobenzyl)oxy]benzoic acid is a methyl ester of 4-chlorobenzoic acid, which is an organic compound. It is a herbicide that has been shown to be effective against weeds in rice fields. The herbicidal activity of 4-[(4-Chlorobenzyl)oxy]benzoic acid may be due to the inhibition of the plant enzyme dehydrohalogenating, which plays an important role in the synthesis of chlorophyll and other pigments. The herbicidal properties are also likely due to its ability to inhibit the enzyme carbonate, which is involved in the biosynthesis of fatty acids and sterols.
