Uses

Used in Agricultural Applications:
2-(2,4-Di-tert-pentylphenoxy)butryic acid is used as a herbicide for controlling broadleaf and grassy weeds in agricultural fields and non-crop areas. It functions by inhibiting the growth of unwanted plants and disrupting their ability to produce essential proteins, making it an effective tool for weed management.
Used in Environmental Applications:
Due to its low toxicity to humans and the environment, 2-(2,4-Di-tert-pentylphenoxy)butryic acid is also used in various environmental applications where weed control is necessary without causing significant harm to the ecosystem or human health. This makes it a popular choice for sustainable weed management practices.

Process for the preparation of alkyl aryl ethers containing carboxyl groups

Process for the preparation of alkyl aryl ethers containing carboxyl groups which are suitable for the preparation of colour film couplers, or derivatives thereof, by reaction of aromatic alcohols with alkyl halides containing carboxyl groups or derivatives thereof and basic alkali metal or alkaline earth metal compounds, characterized in that the reaction is carried out in the melt of the aromatic alcohol.

Process for producing aromatic amide compounds

There is disclosed a process for producing an aromatic amide compound of the general formula (4), including the steps of subjecting an o-nitrophenol compound of the general formula (1) to catalytic reduction in acetone or an aromatic hydrocarbon solvent under the presence of a nickel catalyst to give an o-aminophenol compound of the general formula (2); and (b) subjecting the o-aminophenol compound of the general formula (2) to condensation with an acid chloride compound having a sulfur content of 0.5% or less, based on the weight of the acid chloride compound, of the general formula (3) in acetone or an aromatic hydrocarbon solvent under an atmosphere of an inert gas having an oxygen concentration of 1% or less. The acid chloride compound having a sulfur content of 0.5% or less, based on the weight of the acid chloride compound, of the general formula (3) may be obtained by allowing a carboxylic acid compound of the general formula (5) to react with thionyl chloride and by concentrating the reaction mixture. Also disclosed is another process for producing an aromatic amide compound of the general formula (4), including the step of subjecting an o-aminophenol hydrochloride salt of the general formula (6) to condensation with an acid chloride compound having a sulfur content of 0.8% or less, based on the weight of the acid chloride compound, of the general formula (3) in an inert solvent.
