Of eleven substituted phenoxyacetic acids tested, only three (2,4-dichloro-, 4-chloro-2-methyl-and 2methylphenoxyacetic acid) served as growth substrates for Alcaligenes eutrophus JMP 134. Whereas only one enzyme seems to be responsible for the initial cleavage of the ether bond, there was evidence

4-Chloro-2-methylphenoxyacetic acid (MCPA) is an aryloxyacetic acid derivative categorised as a plant hormone herbicide. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of MCPA on pregnant females and the prenatal development of rabbits. The substance tested was administered orally to pregnant New Z
The important herbicide, 2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid (MCPA) was synthesized by the chlorination of 2-methylphenoxyacetic acid with tert-butyl hypochlorite in the presence of methyl N,N-dimethylglycinate as a catalyst, giving a high yield and regioselectivity. The reaction was investigated us
