p-Bromophenoxyacetic acid Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

White or cream crystalline powder

Uses

4-Bromophenoxyacetic acid may be used as a starting material in the preparation of radioiodinated phenoxyacetic acid derivatives with potential application as radiopharmaceuticals.

General Description

4-Bromophenoxyacetic acid, also known as p-bromophenoxyacetate, is a phenoxyalkanoic acid derivative. It is a chemical elicitor that can induce β-glucuronidase (GUS) activity in rice.

Purification Methods

Crystallise the acid from EtOH or H2O (m 161.4-161.8o). [Hayes & Branch J Am Chem Soc 65 1555 1943, Beilstein 6 III 747, 6 IV 1052.]
