Preparation method of sodium o-methylphenoxyacetate in synthesis process of sodium 2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetate

The invention relates to a preparation method of sodium o-methylphenoxyacetate in a synthesis process of sodium 2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetate. The invention provides a preparation method of sodium o-methylphenoxyacetate, which comprises the following steps of: reacting o-cresol with sodium hydroxide to obtain a sodium o-cresol solution, reacting chloroacetic acid with sodium hydroxide to obtain a sodium chloroacetate solution, and reacting the sodium o-cresol with sodium chloroacetate under the condition of a catalyst to obtain the sodium o-methylphenoxyacetate. The catalyst is added in the preparation process, so that the reaction temperature and the decomposition rate of sodium chloroacetate can be effectively reduced, the conversion rate of o-cresol is improved, the problems of difficulty in later phenol-containing wastewater treatment and high energy consumption caused by low conversion rate of o-cresol are solved, and the preparation process is effectively simplified. Meanwhile, the sodium o-methylphenoxyacetate prepared by the preparation method is relatively high in purity and yield.

Finding new elicitors that induce resistance in rice to the white-backed planthopper Sogatella furcifera

Herein we report a new way to identify chemical elicitors that induce resistance in rice to herbivores. Using this method, by quantifying the induction of chemicals for GUS activity in a specific screening system that we established previously, 5 candidate elicitors were selected from the 29 designed and synthesized phenoxyalkanoic acid derivatives. Bioassays confirmed that these candidate elicitors could induce plant defense and then repel feeding of white-backed planthopper Sogatella furcifera.
