2,4,5-Trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (also known as 2,4,5-T ), a synthetic auxin, is a chlorophenoxy acetic acid herbicide used to defoliate broad-leafed plants. It was developed in the late 1940s, synthesized by reaction of 2,4,5-Trichlorophenol and chloroacetic acid. It was widely used in the agricultural industry until being phased out ...
2,4,5-Trichlorophenol (TCP) is an organochloride with the molecular formula C 6 H 3 Cl 3 O. It has been used as a fungicide and herbicide. [2] Precursor chemical used in the production of 2,4,5-Trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T) and hexachlorophene involves the intermediate production of 2,4,5-trichlorophenol (TCP) and the formation of 2,3,7 ...
2,4,6-Trichlorophenol, also known as TCP, phenaclor, Dowicide 2S, Dowcide 2S, omal, is a chlorinated phenol that has been used as a fungicide, herbicide, insecticide, antiseptic, [3] defoliant, and glue preservative. [4] It is a clear to yellowish crystalline solid with a strong, phenolic odor. It decomposes on heating to produce toxic and ...
A trichlorophenol is any organochloride of phenol that contains three covalently bonded chlorine atoms. Trichlorophenols are produced by electrophilic halogenation of phenol with chlorine. [1] Different isomers of trichlorophenol exist according to which ring positions on the phenol contain chlorine atoms. 2,4,6-Trichlorophenol, for example ...
Fenoprop, also called 2,4,5-TP, is the organic compound 2- (2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy)propionic acid. [2] It is a phenoxy herbicide and a plant growth regulator, an analog of 2,4,5-T in which the latter's acetic acid sidechain is replaced with a propionate group (with an extra CH 3 ). The addition of this extra methyl group creates a chiral centre ...
2,4,6-Trichloroanisole ( TCA) is a chemical compound that represents one of the strongest of off-flavors, substances "generated naturally in foods/beverages [that considerably] deteriorate the quality" of such products. [1] [2] As of 2000, TCA was considered the primary chemical compound responsible for the phenomenon of cork taint in wines, [3 ...
2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzodioxin (TCDD) is always a contaminant in this compound's production. Several accidents releasing many kilograms of TCDD have been reported. The reaction between 2,4,5-trichlorophenol and formaldehyde is exothermic. If the reaction occurs without adequate cooling, TCDD is produced in significant quantities as a ...
TCPO, or bis(2,4,6-trichlorophenyl) oxalate, is a chemical used in some types of glow sticks. Uses [ edit ] When combined with a fluorescent dye like 9,10-bis(phenylethynyl)anthracene , a solvent (such as diethyl phthalate ), and a weak base (usually sodium acetate or sodium salicylate ), and hydrogen peroxide , the mixture will start a ...
