  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 ...

  3. 1-Naphthaleneacetic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1-Naphthaleneacetic_acid

    1-Naphthaleneacetic acid (NAA) is an organic compound with the formula C 10 H 7 CH 2 CO 2 H. This colorless solid is soluble in organic solvents. This colorless solid is soluble in organic solvents. It features a carboxylmethyl group (CH 2 CO 2 H) linked to the "1-position" of naphthalene .

  4. Phenoxy herbicide - Wikipedia

    The other auxin now used in comparable amounts to 2,4-D is dicamba, where the 2019 figure was 30,000,000 pounds (14,000,000 kg). [7] It is a benzoic acid rather than a phenoxyacetic acid whose use has grown rapidly since 2016 as crops genetically modified to be resistant to it have been cultivated. [8]

  5. 2,4,5-Trichlorophenoxyacetic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2,4,5-Trichlorophenoxy...

    2,4,5-Trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (also known as 2,4,5-T), a synthetic auxin, is a chlorophenoxy acetic acid herbicide used to defoliate broad-leafed plants. It was developed in the late 1940s, synthesized by reaction of 2,4,5-Trichlorophenol and chloroacetic acid. It was widely used in the agricultural industry until being phased out, starting ...

  6. 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 ...

  7. Vinegar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinegar

    To be called "spirit vinegar", the product must come from an agricultural source and must be made by "double fermentation". The first fermentation is sugar to alcohol, and the second is alcohol to acetic acid. Products made from synthetically produced acetic acid cannot be called "vinegar" in the UK, where the term allowed is "non-brewed ...

  8. MCPA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MCPA

    MCPA (2-methyl-4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid) is a widely used phenoxy herbicide introduced in 1945. It selectively controls broad-leaf weeds in pasture and cereal crops . The mode of action of MCPA is as an auxin , which are growth hormones that naturally exist in plants.

  9. Anaerobic digestion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaerobic_digestion

    Total ammonia nitrogen (TAN) has been shown to inhibit production of methane. Furthermore, it destabilises the microbial community, impacting the synthesis of acetic acid. Acetic acid is one of the driving forces in methane production. At an excess of 5000 mg/L TAN, pH adjustment is needed to keep the reaction stable. [52]
