1-Phenazinecarboxylic acid, 9-chloro-

Description:

1-Phenazinecarboxylic acid, 9-chloro- is an organic compound characterized by its phenazine backbone, which is a fused bicyclic structure containing nitrogen atoms. The presence of a carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH) indicates its acidic properties, while the chloro substituent at the 9-position introduces halogen characteristics, which can influence its reactivity and solubility. This compound is typically solid at room temperature and may exhibit moderate solubility in polar solvents due to the carboxylic acid group. Its structure suggests potential applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, or as a dye, owing to the phenazine moiety's known biological activity and color properties. Additionally, the presence of chlorine can enhance the compound's stability and alter its interaction with biological systems. As with many chemical substances, safety precautions should be observed when handling, as it may pose health risks or environmental hazards.
