Usage

Description

2-methyl-2-(2-methylphenoxy)propanoic acid is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C11H14O3, belonging to the class of aryloxyphenoxypropionate herbicides. It is an effective herbicide known for selectively inhibiting the growth of grassy weeds in various crops, making it a valuable tool in agricultural weed control.

Uses

Used in Agriculture:
2-methyl-2-(2-methylphenoxy)propanoic acid is used as a herbicide for selectively controlling grassy weeds in crops such as rice, wheat, and barley. It works by interfering with the synthesis of fatty acids in the target plants, ultimately leading to their death.
It is important to handle this chemical with caution due to its potential toxicity to aquatic organisms and possible harmful effects on human health if not properly managed.

The formation of benzoxacin-3-ones: Via intramolecular Nicholas reactions and synthesis of 8-membered heliannuols

The γ-carbonyl cations generated from propargyl ether-Co2(CO)6 complexes undergo intramolecular Nicholas reactions to give dehydrobenzoxacin-3-one-Co2(CO)6 complexes in good yields. Reductive decomplexation and subsequent manipulation allows the synthesis of (±)-heliannuol K methyl ether and the formal syntheses of (±)-heliannuol K, (±)-heliannuol A, and (-)-heliannuol L.

Synthesis and preliminary antihyperlipidaemic activities evaluation of andrographolide derivatives

Recent studies indicated that andrographolide was a potential antihyperlipidaemic therapeutic agent. In the paper, the synthesis of a series of andrographolide derivatives was described and their antihyperlipidaemic activities were evaluated in vivo. As compared with TG, TC, HDL-C and LDL-C concentrations, some of the derivatives exhibited better antihyperlipidaemic effects than positive control atromide. Therein, compound 6i, which was the most potent compound, could serve as a new lead for further development of antihyperlipidaemic agents.

Development of a scalable synthesis of GSK183390A, a PPAR α/γ agonist

A scalable synthesis of GSK183390A, a PPAR α/γ agonist, is described. This synthesis is highlighted by (1) a regioselective formal 1,3-dipolar cycloaddition reaction between an enamine and a nitrile inline dipole to form a 1,3,5-trisubstmited pyrazole and (2) a regioselective amidomethylation of an o-cresol derivative using 2-chloro-JV- hydroxymethylacetamide.
