Description

4-Chlorophenoxyacetic Acid Sodium Salt is the sodium salt derivative of the plant growth regulator 4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid. This compound is valued for its enhanced solubility and stability in aqueous formulations compared to its acid form. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the agrochemical and plant science research sectors for its role in synthetic auxin applications. The product is supplied under strict quality control to ensure batch-to-batch consistency for industrial and research use.

Application

• Agrochemical Intermediates: A key starting material or intermediate in the synthesis of selective herbicides and plant growth regulators.
• Plant Tissue Culture: Used in laboratory media to promote callus formation and regulate growth in plant cell and tissue culture studies.
• Horticulture Research: Employed in experimental protocols to study the effects of synthetic auxins on fruit setting, rooting, and abscission.
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as a versatile building block for further organic synthesis of phenoxyacetic acid derivatives.
• Buffer Component: Can be utilized in specific biochemical and agricultural research buffers due to its salt form.
