Avoid contact with oxides.

Storage method

Store in a cool, ventilated warehouse. Keep away from fire and heat sources. Protect from direct sunlight. The packaging is sealed. should be kept away from oxidizer, do not store together. Equipped with the appropriate variety and quantity of fire equipment. Suitable materials should be available in the storage area to contain spills.

Synthesis method

Synthesis of 2,4-D: Sodium phenolate and sodium chloroacetate are first synthesized, and then the two are condensed. The reaction is carried out at 110 to 120°C. The reaction process maintains the slightly alkaline solution. The feeding ratio of monochloroacetic acid to phenol is 1:1.16. Then a chlorination reaction is carried out, using chlorine gas as the chlorinating agent, and the reaction temperature is 92 to 98°C.
It has also been reported that the following operation method is used: After mixing 31.6g of industrial phenol (0.332mol) and an appropriate amount of toluene, the temperature is raised to near the reflux point, and aqueous solutions of sodium hydroxide and chloroacetic acid are added dropwise at the same time. The dropping time is 1 hour, and the reaction is carried out at the reflux temperature. After 1 hour, add 230 mL of tap water to the reaction, separate the organic phase solvent and recycle it to obtain phenoxyacetic acid, which can be directly used for chlorination reaction without distillation operation. Use chlorine gas as the chlorinating agent. Add a trace amount of catalyst (such as iodine powder), the chlorination time is 1 to 3.5 hours, the chlorination temperature is 65 to 90°C, the chlorination is completed by filtering and washing at room temperature, and drying to obtain 57.0g of 2,4-D. The total yield of the two steps is ≥ 76%, the quality is significantly improved.
Synthesis of 2,4-D butyl ester Add wet 2,4-D to a certain amount of butanol under stirring, raise the temperature to 120~140°C, keep it for 4 hours, fully dehydrate, and reflux the butanol. When the water level in the separator no longer rises, stop the reflux, raise the temperature to 160-170°C, and steam out the butanol under reduced pressure.

Purpose

Used as agricultural herbicide.
