Usage

Description

(2,4-DI-TERT-BUTYLPHENOXY)ACETIC ACID, commonly known as Dicamba, is a synthetic auxin-like herbicide that functions by mimicking the plant hormone auxin. This action induces uncontrolled growth in broadleaf weeds, leading to their eventual death. As a selective herbicide, Dicamba targets these weeds while minimizing harm to grasses and other non-target plants. It is often used in conjunction with other herbicides to achieve comprehensive weed control in agricultural settings.

Uses

Used in Agricultural Industry:
(2,4-DI-TERT-BUTYLPHENOXY)ACETIC ACID is used as a herbicide for controlling broadleaf weeds in various crops. Its application reason is its ability to mimic the plant hormone auxin, which causes the uncontrolled growth and subsequent death of the target weeds, while leaving grasses and other non-target plants relatively unharmed.
Due to its potential for drift and the possibility of causing damage to neighboring crops and vegetation, the use of (2,4-DI-TERT-BUTYLPHENOXY)ACETIC ACID has been a subject of controversy and is highly regulated in some regions. This regulation aims to balance the effectiveness of weed control with the protection of other crops and the environment.

Solid-phase oxidation of 2,4-di-tert-butylphenol and 3,6-di-tert-butylpyrocatechol in the presence of alkali and alkaline earth metal halides under elastic deformation

Solid-phase oxidation of 2,4-di-tert-butylphenol to give 2,2′,4,4′-tert-butyl-6,6′-bisphenol and of 3,6-di-tert-butylpyrocatechol to afford 3,6-di-tert-butyl-1,2-benzoquinone was performed in the presence of alkali and alkaline earth metals halides under conditions of modified extrusion. The formation of the corresponding metal 3,6-di-tert-butylsemiquinolates was registered by ESR method. The different behavior of chlorides, bromides, and iodides was observed and rationalized basing on the dissimilar complexing ability of halogens. The mechanism of activated oxidation was assumed.

Discovery of potent transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 antagonists: Design and synthesis of phenoxyacetamide derivatives

We aimed to discover a novel type of transient receptor potential vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) antagonist because such antagonists are possible drug candidates for treating various disorders. We modified the structure of hit compound 7 (human TRPV1 IC50 = 411 nM) and converted its pyrrolidino group to a (hydroxyethyl)methylamino group, which substantially improved inhibitory activity (15d; human TRPV1 IC50 = 33 nM). In addition, 15d ameliorated bladder overactivity in rats in vivo.
