Description

Dimethylammonium 4-Chloro-o-Tolyloxyacetate is a dimethylammonium salt of a phenoxyacetic acid derivative, valued for its role as a key intermediate in the synthesis of specialized agrochemicals and fine chemicals. Its primary commercial significance lies in its utility for producing selective herbicides and plant growth regulators. This compound is essential for manufacturers and R&D facilities in the agrochemical and pharmaceutical industries seeking to develop or produce targeted crop protection agents.

Application

• Agrochemical Intermediate: Primary use as a key synthetic precursor in the manufacture of phenoxy herbicide active ingredients.
• Herbicide Synthesis: Specifically used in the production of selective post-emergence herbicides for broadleaf weed control in cereal crops and turf.
• Plant Growth Regulator Research: Serves as a starting material or intermediate in the development of novel plant growth modulators.
• Fine Chemical Synthesis: Utilized in organic synthesis for introducing the 4-chloro-2-methylphenoxyacetyl moiety into more complex molecules.
• Chemical Research & Development: Employed in academic and industrial R&D for studying structure-activity relationships in agricultural chemistry.

Quality Control

Our Dimethylammonium 4-Chloro-o-Tolyloxyacetate is manufactured under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and reliability for industrial synthesis. Quality is verified through comprehensive analytical testing including assay, identification, and impurity profiling. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, physical characteristics, and conformance to agreed specifications is provided with each 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 (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product quality and handling properties.
