4-Chlorophenoxyacetic Acid Uses
4-Chlorophenoxyacetic acid can be used to synthesize a new class of hypoxia-inducible factor-1 inhibitors.
4-Chlorophenoxyacetic acid (4-CPA) is a chlorine derivative of phenoxyacetic acid (PA) and is a plant growth regulator used as a herbicide.
Plant growth hormone, used as a growth regulator, fruit drop preventer, herbicide, can be used for tomatoes, vegetables, peach trees, etc., and is also used as a pharmaceutical intermediate.
4-Chlorophenoxyacetic acid can be used in the synthesis of pesticide molecules. For example, 4-Chlorophenoxyacetic acid is a key synthetic intermediate for the synthesis of the pesticide molecule fluroxypyralid. Fluroxypyralid is a selective herbicide that can be used in soybeans, peanuts, sunflowers, rapeseed, rice and cruciferous crops.
