2-(2,4,6-Trichlorphenoxy)-buttersaeure-methylester, also known as 2-(2,4,6-trichlorophenoxy)butanoic acid methyl ester, is a synthetic chemical compound with the molecular formula C10H9Cl3O3. It is an ester derivative of 2,4,6-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid, where the carboxylic acid group is esterified with methanol. 2-(2.4.6-Trichlorphenoxy)-buttersaeure-methylester has been used as a plant growth regulator and herbicide, particularly for controlling broadleaf weeds in various crops. It works by mimicking the action of natural plant hormones, leading to uncontrolled growth and eventually plant death. Due to its potential environmental and health risks, its use has been restricted or banned in many countries. The compound is characterized by its white crystalline appearance and has a specific odor. It is soluble in most organic solvents but insoluble in water.
The CAS Registry Mumber 6508-07-2 includes 7 digits separated into 3 groups by hyphens. The first part of the number,starting from the left, has 4 digits, 6,5,0 and 8 respectively; the second part has 2 digits, 0 and 7 respectively. Calculate Digit Verification of CAS Registry Number 6508-07: (6*6)+(5*5)+(4*0)+(3*8)+(2*0)+(1*7)=92 92 % 10 = 2 So 6508-07-2 is a valid CAS Registry Number.
