General Description

"2-(diethylamino)ethyl (4-chlorophenoxy)acetate", also known as Chlorphenoxy-2, is a chemical compound commonly used as a herbicide or plant growth regulator in agriculture. It is formed by the reaction of 2-(diethylamino)ethanol with 4-chlorophenoxyacetyl chloride. 2-(diethylamino)ethyl (4-chlorophenoxy)acetate has selective herbicidal activity against broad-leaved weeds and is often used to control weeds in cereal and grain crops. It works by disrupting the growth and development of plants, leading to their eventual death. However, it is important to use this chemical with caution as it can have harmful effects on non-target plants and animals if not used properly or in excessive amounts.
