Ethyl 5-[2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl)phenoxy]-2-nitrobenzoate, with the CAS number 77207-01-3, is an organic compound characterized by its complex structure, which includes an ethyl ester group, a nitro group, and a chlorinated aromatic moiety. This compound typically exhibits a pale yellow to light brown appearance and is soluble in organic solvents such as acetone and dichloromethane, but may have limited solubility in water. Its molecular structure suggests potential applications in agrochemicals, particularly as a herbicide or pesticide, due to the presence of the trifluoromethyl group, which often enhances biological activity. The nitro group can also contribute to its reactivity and potential for further chemical transformations. Safety data indicates that, like many halogenated compounds, it should be handled with care, as it may pose environmental and health risks. Proper storage and disposal methods are essential to mitigate any potential hazards associated with its use.

Ethyl 5-[2-Chloro-4-(Trifluoromethyl)Phenoxy]-2-Nitrobenzoate is an active form of retinoic acid, a natural hormone that regulates the growth and development of cells. It is used as a plant growth regulator to induce leaf formation in plants that are not green or chlorophyllous. This product has been shown to be cytotoxic against subtilis, which are Gram-positive bacteria that are not affected by other antibiotics. Ethyl 5-[2-Chloro-4-(Trifluoromethyl)Phenoxy]-2-Nitrobenzoate has also been found to inhibit nuclear DNA synthesis and fatty acid synthesis in plants.
