MCPA Isooctyl Ester is a derivative of MCPA which is a herbicide. | [Production Methods]
MCPA-isooctyl is produced by first manufacturing and purifying technical-grade MCPA acid through the standard industrial sequence of para-cresol chlorination followed by carboxylation to form the phenoxyacetic acid. The acid is then esterified with isooctanol (typically a branched C8 alcohol such as 2-ethylhexanol) in the presence of an acid catalyst, with the reaction run under conditions that continuously remove water to drive the equilibrium toward ester formation. After esterification, the mixture is neutralised and washed to remove residual catalyst and unreacted alcohol, and the crude ester is refined, often via vacuum distillation, to meet technical specifications. | [Mechanism of action]
Selective, systemic with translocation. Synthetic auxin. | [Toxics Screening Level]
The Initial Threshold Screening Level (ITSL) for MCPA 2-EHE is 90μg/m3 with an annual averaging time. | [Pesticide Type]
