Product Description:

Methyl 2-[4-(3-chloro-5-(trifluoromethyl)pyridin-2-yl)oxy]phenoxy]propionate, with CAS number 72619-32-0, is a pyridine ether derivative. It is structurally characterized by a central phenoxypropionate moiety linked to a substituted pyridine ring bearing chloro and trifluoromethyl groups. This compound is a key intermediate in the synthesis of the post-emergence aryloxyphenoxypropionate (AOPP) herbicide, quizalofop-P-ethyl. Quizalofop-P-ethyl is a selective herbicide used to control annual and perennial grass weeds in broadleaf crops such as soybeans, cotton, and sugar beets. It functions as an acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCCase) inhibitor, disrupting fatty acid synthesis in susceptible plants. As a synthetic intermediate, its primary industrial significance lies in the agrochemical manufacturing sector. The presence of the chiral center in the propionate chain is crucial for the herbicidal activity of the final product, with the (R)-enantiomer (quizalofop-P) being the active form.
