2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid by MP Biomedicals is a high grade reagent. Also known as 2,4-D, this is an organic compound which is widely used as a systemic herbicide. This reagent is available as an off-white powder which is soluble in water. 2,4-D is manufactured from chloroacetic acid and 2,4-dichlorophenol, which itself is produced by chlorination of phenol. It is a synthetic auxin, which is a class of plant hormones, hence it stimulates uncontrolled, unsustainable growth, causing stem curl-over, leaf withering, and eventual plant death. CAS No. 94-75-7 Quantity Provided: 50 gm per pack Molecular Formula: C8H6O3Cl2 Molecular Weight 221.04 Soluble in water2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid is widely used in chemical and biological sectors. It is majorly used as a selective herbicide which kills various terrestrial and aquatic broadleaf weeds, but not grasses. 2,4 D has been used in laboratories for plant research as a supplement in plant cell culture media such as MS medium. 2,4-D is applied in plant cell cultures as a de-differentiation (callus induction) hormone. Soaking tomatoes in 2,4-D as a way of slowing their ripening after harvest has been researched.
