2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid is an organic compound with the chemical formula Cl 2 C 6 H 3 OCH 2 CO 2 H.It is usually referred to by its ISO common name 2,4-D. [4] It is a systemic herbicide that kills most broadleaf weeds by causing uncontrolled growth, but most grasses such as cereals, lawn turf, and grassland are relatively unaffected.
2,4-Dithiapentane is the dimethyldithioacetal of formaldehyde. Its synthesis was first reported in 1941. Its synthesis was first reported in 1941. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] It is industrially prepared by the acid-catalyzed condensation of methyl mercaptan , the main aromatic compound in both halitosis and foot odor and a secondary compound in flatulence ...
2,4-Dinitrophenol (2,4-DNP or simply DNP) is an organic compound with the formula HOC 6 H 3 (NO 2) 2. It has been used in explosives manufacturing and as a pesticide and herbicide. In humans, DNP causes dose-dependent mitochondrial uncoupling , causing the rapid loss of ATP as heat and leading to uncontrolled hyperthermia —up to 44 °C (111 ...
2,4-Dinitrotoluene (DNT) or dinitro is an organic compound with the formula C 7 H 6 N 2 O 4. This pale yellow crystalline solid is well known as a precursor to trinitrotoluene (TNT) but is mainly produced as a precursor to toluene diisocyanate .
Economics (/ ˌ ɛ k ə ˈ n ɒ m ɪ k s, ˌ iː k ə-/) [1] [2] is a social science that studies the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services. [3] [4] Economics focuses on the behaviour and interactions of economic agents and how economies work.
It is also used as a sterilizing agent and in the making of dyes, perfumes and resins. Another use is as an antiknock agent, [11] since its research and motor octane numbers are way above 100. [12] In automobile fuel it is a minor additive, with its share in US gasoline rising from 0.03–0.5% in early 1990s [13] to 1.1–2.6% in 2011 [14].
In response to the Economic Calculation Problem proposed by the Austrian School of Economics that disputes the efficiency of a state-run economy, the theory of Market Socialism was developed in the late 1920s and 1930s by economists Fred M. Taylor (1855–1932), Oskar R. Lange (1904–1965), Abba Lerner (1903–1982) et al., combining Marxian ...
Microbial metabolism in products treated with TBP is known to produce 2,4,6-tribromoanisole (TBA), [9] which has a musty odor. In 2010 and 2011, Pfizer and Johnson & Johnson voluntarily recalled some products due to TBA odors from wooden pallets which were treated with TBP. [10] [11] [12] [13]
