| Phenoxyacetic acid Usage And Synthesis |
| Chemical Properties | off-white powder | | Chemical Properties | Phenoxyacetic acid has a sour, sweet odor and a honey-like taste. | | Occurrence | Reported found in cocoa beans | | Uses | Phenoxyacetic acid is a flavoring ingredient.?Its photodegradation using titanium dioxide as photocatalyst has been studied. Selective separation of penicillin V from phenoxyacetic acid using liquid membranes consisting of 1,2-dichloroethane and Amberlite LA-2 as carrier has been studied. | | Uses | Fungicide; keratin exfoliative (to relieve and to soften calluses, corns, and other hard skin surfaces; applied as plasters, pads or in liquids). | | Preparation | By reacting phenol and monochloroacetic acid. | | Definition | ChEBI: A monocarboxylic acid that is the O-phenyl derivative of glycolic acid. A metabolite of 2-phenoxyethanol, it is used in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, pesticides, fungicides and dyes. | | Synthesis Reference(s) | Synthetic Communications, 16, p. 479, 1986 DOI: 10.1080/00397918608057726 | | General Description | Light tan powder or white solid. | | Air & Water Reactions | Slightly soluble in water. | | Reactivity Profile | Phenoxyacetic acid reacts exothermically with all bases, both organic (for example, the amines) and inorganic. | | Health Hazard | ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: Phenoxyacetic acid is a mild skin irritant. | | Fire Hazard | Flash point data for Phenoxyacetic acid are not available; however Phenoxyacetic acid is probably combustible. | | Purification Methods | Crystallise the acid from water or aqueous EtOH.
