Description

Acetochlor Ethanesulfonic Acid Sodium Salt, 2-[(Ethoxymethyl)(2-Ethyl-6-Methylphenyl) Amino]-2-Oxo-Ethanesulfonic Acid Sodium Salt is a key intermediate and metabolite in the synthesis and environmental analysis of the widely used chloroacetamide herbicide, acetochlor. This compound is of significant importance for quality control, regulatory compliance, and environmental monitoring within the agrochemical sector. It is primarily required by agrochemical manufacturers, analytical laboratories, and research institutions for use as a reference standard and in the development of analytical methods.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Primary use as a high-purity certified standard for the quantification of acetochlor and its metabolites in various matrices via HPLC, LC-MS, or GC-MS.
• Environmental Fate Studies: Critical for tracking the degradation, transformation, and mobility of acetochlor in soil and water systems to assess environmental impact.
• Metabolite Research: Used in biochemical and toxicological studies to understand the metabolic pathways and breakdown products of acetochlor in plants and organisms.
• Method Development & Validation: Essential for developing, calibrating, and validating analytical methods in compliance with global regulatory guidelines (e.g., EPA, EU).
• Quality Assurance/Quality Control (QA/QC): Employed in the internal QC laboratories of agrochemical producers to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and purity of technical acetochlor.
• Residue Analysis: Used in testing laboratories to monitor acetochlor ESA (ethanesulfonic acid) metabolite residues in food crops and water supplies for safety compliance.
