  2. Acetic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acetic_acid

    acetyl chloride SOCl 2 acetic acid (i) Li[AlH 4], ether (ii) H 3 O + ethanol Two typical organic reactions of acetic acid Acetic acid undergoes the typical chemical reactions of a carboxylic acid. Upon treatment with a standard base, it converts to metal acetate and water. With strong bases (e.g., organolithium reagents), it can be doubly deprotonated to give LiCH 2 COOLi. Reduction of acetic ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cativa_process

    Space-filling model of the [Ir(CO) 2 I 2] − catalyst used in the Cativa process The Cativa process is a method for the production of acetic acid by the carbonylation of methanol . The technology, which is similar to the Monsanto process , was developed by BP Chemicals and is under license by BP Plc.

  5. Potassium acetate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Potassium_acetate

    It can be prepared by treating a potassium-containing base such as potassium hydroxide or potassium carbonate with acetic acid: CH 3 COOH + KOH → CH 3 COOK + H 2 O. This sort of reaction is known as an acid-base neutralization reaction. At saturation, the sesquihydrate in water solution (CH 3 COOK·1½H 2 O) begins to form semihydrate at 41.3 ...

  6. Octyl acetate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Octyl_acetate

    Octyl acetate, or octyl ethanoate, is an organic compound with the formula CH 3 (CH 2) 7 O 2 CCH 3. It is classified as an ester that is formed from 1-octanol (octyl alcohol) and acetic acid. It is found in oranges, grapefruits, and other citrus products. [10] Octyl acetate can be synthesized by the Fischer esterification of 1-octanol and ...

  7. Phenoxy herbicide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenoxy_herbicide

    The best known phenoxy herbicides are (4-chloro-2-methylphenoxy)acetic acid , 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) and 2,4,5-trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T). [2] Analogues of each of these three compounds, with an extra methyl group attached next to the carboxylic acid , were subsequently commercialised as mecoprop , dichlorprop and ...

  8. Fenoprop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fenoprop

    Fenoprop, also called 2,4,5-TP, is the organic compound 2-(2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy)propionic acid. [2] It is a phenoxy herbicide and a plant growth regulator , an analog of 2,4,5-T in which the latter's acetic acid sidechain is replaced with a propionate group (with an extra CH 3 ).

  9. Ethylene (plant hormone) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethylene_(plant_hormone)

    The plant hormone ethylene is a combatant for salinity in most plants. Ethylene is known for regulating plant growth and development and adapted to stress conditions through a complex signal transduction pathway. Central membrane proteins in plants, such as ETO2, ERS1 and EIN2, are used for ethylene signaling in many plant growth processes.
