cpa-4

4-Chlorophenoxyacetic acid (4-CPA) is a widely utilized herbicide in agriculture for weed control. It can be degraded through an electrochemical oxidation process in aqueous media. The end products of 4-Chlorophenoxyacetic acid degradation are harmless, including carbon dioxide, water, and chloride ions.

4-Chlorophenoxyacetic acid (sodium) (4-CPA (sodium); p-Chlorophenoxyacetic acid (sodium)) is a chlorinated phenolic compound that functions as both a plant growth regulator and herbicide. At low concentrations, it promotes plant growth, while at high concentrations, it inhibits growth, particularly in dicotyledonous plants. This compound can serve as a biochemical material or organic compound in life sciences research.
