Description

Sodium (R)-2-(2,4-Dichlorophenoxy)Propionate is the sodium salt of the (R)-enantiomer of the widely used herbicide 2,4-DP (dichlorprop). This compound is a selective, systemic herbicide valued for its high biological activity and specificity. It is primarily utilized in the agricultural and horticultural sectors for the post-emergence control of broadleaf weeds in cereal crops and turf. The product is supplied under CAS number 119299-10-4.

Application

• Selective Herbicide Formulations: Core active ingredient in post-emergence herbicide products for controlling broadleaf weeds in wheat, barley, oats, and rye.
• Turf and Lawn Management: Used in professional turf management for weed control in grasses, maintaining the quality of golf courses, sports fields, and ornamental lawns.
• Agricultural Research & Development: Serves as a critical reference standard and intermediate in R&D for developing new enantiomerically pure agrochemicals.
• Industrial Vegetation Control: Employed in non-crop areas such as railways, roadsides, and industrial sites for managing unwanted vegetation.
• Synthesis Intermediate: Acts as a chiral building block or precursor in the synthesis of more complex, optically active chemical compounds.

Quality Control

Our Sodium (R)-2-(2,4-Dichlorophenoxy)Propionate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including chiral purity assay and impurity profiling, to ensure it meets stringent specifications for agrochemical and research use. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, enantiomeric excess, and related substances is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product stability and handling properties.
