Product Information

• Name: Ethyl 2-toluate
• Synonyms: Ethyl 2-methylbenzoate
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Ethyl 2-toluate is a fatty acid which belongs to the class of oxadiazoles. It has been shown to be an effective herbicide and is used in the control of weeds in rice paddies. The reaction products are chlorinated derivatives of ethyl 2-toluate, which have been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria. It also has been shown that this compound can be used as an acaricide, insecticide, and nematocide. The chloride group found on ethyl 2-toluate reacts with hydrogen molecules to form a hydrogen bond, which provides kinetic energy. This kinetic energy is transferred to the hexane molecule, causing it to break apart into its constituent carbonyl groups and alkylthio groups. These electrons are then transferred onto sulfonic acids such as benzoate, resulting in their decomposition.
