Structure Formula : Common Name: 2,4-d 2-ethylhexyl ester CAS No.:1928-43-4 CAS Name: (2,4-dichlorophenoxy)-aceticaci2-ethylhexylester Molecular Formula:C16H22 Cl2 O3 Agrochemical Type: Herbicide Mode of Action:Esters react with acids to liberate heat along with alcohols and acids. Strong oxidizing acids may cause a vigorous reaction that is sufficiently exothermic to ignite the reaction products. Heat is also generated by the interaction of esters with caustic solutions. Flammable hydrogen is generated by mixing esters with alkali metals and hydrides.
