Description

Mecoprop-2-Butoxyethyl Ester CAS NO 23359-62-8 is a synthetic ester derivative of the phenoxy herbicide mecoprop, designed for enhanced formulation stability and application performance. This compound serves as a key active ingredient or intermediate in the production of selective post-emergence herbicides, offering effective control of broadleaf weeds in various settings. It is primarily required by agrochemical manufacturers and formulators developing solutions for turf management, forestry, and non-crop industrial vegetation control.

Application

• Primary active ingredient in selective, post-emergence herbicide formulations for turf and lawn care.
• Key intermediate in the synthesis of more complex phenoxyalkanoic acid ester herbicides.
• Formulation component for forestry management products targeting broadleaf weeds.
• Used in the production of herbicides for non-crop areas, such as roadsides, railways, and industrial sites.
• Employed in research and development for novel agrochemical combinations and synergistic mixtures.
