Butoxyethyl (2,4-dichlorophenoxy)acetate Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid is a white to yellow crystalline powder with a slight phenolic odor.

Uses

2,?4-?D-Butylglycol Ester is a reagent used in the preparation of fungicides, herbicides and insecticides.Environmental toxin on US EPA Toxic Release Inventory list (TRI) list.

Health Hazard

Recommended Personal Protective Equipment: Face shield or goggles; rubber gloves; Symptoms Following Exposure: Contact with eyes may cause mild irritation; General Treatment for Exposure: INGESTION: if large amounts are swallowed, induce vomiting and get medical help. EYES: flush with plenty of water and see a doctor. SKIN: flush with water, wash with soap and water; Toxicity by Inhalation (Threshold Limit Value): Data not available; Short-Term Exposure Limits: Data not available; Toxicity by Ingestion: Grade 2 or 3:LD50 = 320-617 mg/kg; Late Toxicity: Data not available; Vapor (Gas) Irritant Characteristics: Data not available; Liquid or Solid Irritant Characteristics: Data not available; Odor Threshold: Data not available.

Chemical Reactivity

Reactivity with Water No reaction; Reactivity with Common Materials: May attack some forms ofplastics; Stability During Transport: Stable; Neutralizing Agents for Acids and Caustics: Not pertinent; Polymerization: Not pertinent; Inhibitor of Polymerization: Not pertinent.

Potential Exposure

2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, was introduced as a plant growth-regulator in 1942. It is registered in the United States as a herbicide for control of broadleaf plants and as a plant growth-regulator. Thus, workers engaged in manufacture, formulation or application are affected, as may be citizens in areas of application. The Vietnam war era defoliant, Agent Orange, was a mixture of 2,4-D and 2,4,5-T.

Shipping

UN3345 Phenoxyacetic acid derivative pesticide, solid, toxic, Hazard Class: 6.1; Labels: 6.1-Poisonous materials. A DOT regulated marine pollutant.

Incompatibilities

A weak acid, incompatible with bases. Decomposes in sunlight or heat, forming hydrogen chloride and phosgene. Contact with strong oxidizers may cause fire and explosions.

Waste Disposal

Incineration of phenoxys is effective in 1 second @ 982 C, using a straight combustion process or @ 482℃ using catalytic combustion. Over 99% decomposition was reported when small amounts of 2,4-D were burned in a polyethylene bag. See “References” for additional detail. In accordance with 40CFR165, follow (31); recommendations for the disposal of pesticides and pesticide containers. Must be disposed properly by follow- ing (100) Package (2) label directions or by contacting your local or federal environmental control agency, or by contacting your regional EPA office. Consult with environ- mental regulatory agencies for guidance on acceptable disposal practices. Generators of waste containing this contaminant (≥100 kg/mo) must conform with EPA regu- lations governing storage, transportation, treatment, and waste disposal.
