Application

4-Chlorophenoxyacetic acid has been used in para-chlorophenoxyacetic acid (p-CPA) residue assay.
4-chlorophenoxy acetic acid (4-CPA), a chlorine derivative of phenoxyacetic acid (PA), is a plant growth regulator used as a herbicide.

Biochem/physiol Actions

4-Chlorophenoxyacetic acid is a synthetic auxin, that is used to induce parthenocarpic ovary growth on flowers of wild type plants.

The photocatalysed degradation of 4-chlorophenoxyacetic acid (4-CPA, 1) has been investigated in aqueous suspensions of titanium dioxide under a variety of conditions. The degradation was studied by monitoring the change in substrate concentration employing UV spectroscopic analysis technique and depletion

The blockade of CLC-0 chloride channels by p-chlorophenoxy acetate (CPA) has been thought to be state dependent; the conformational change of the channel pore during the "fast gating" alters the CPA binding affinity. Here, we examine the mechanism of CPA
