| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Production Methods]
Commercial production of 2,4-D-octyl would have followed the same industrial pathway used for other ester derivatives of 2,4-D, although specific data for this variant are limited. Production begins with large scale synthesis of 2,4-D acid, after which the acid is esterified with octanol under controlled temperature and solvent conditions to form the octyl ester. | [Mechanism of action]
Selective, systemic, absorbed through roots and increases biosynthesis and production of ethylene causing uncontrolled cell division and so damages vascular tissue. Synthetic auxin. | [Safety Profile]
Moderately toxic by ingestion andskin contact. When heated to decomposition it emits toxicvapors of Clí. | [Pesticide Type]
