2-Chloro-6-iodobenzoic acid

Description:

2-Chloro-6-iodobenzoic acid is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of both chlorine and iodine substituents on the benzene ring. Specifically, the chlorine atom is located at the second position and the iodine atom at the sixth position relative to the carboxylic acid group. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is sparingly soluble in water, but more soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone. It exhibits properties typical of halogenated benzoic acids, including potential applications in organic synthesis and medicinal chemistry. The presence of halogens can influence its reactivity, making it a useful intermediate in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, the compound may exhibit biological activity, which can be explored in drug development. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this substance, as it may pose health risks due to its halogenated nature.

2-Chloro-6-iodobenzoic acid

CAS: 13420-63-8

2-Chloro-6-iodobenzoic acid is a white solid that is soluble in water. It is a member of the group of aromatic compounds, which are organic compounds that contain one or more benzene rings. The 2-chloro-6-iodobenzoic acid molecule has two chlorides and two iodines as substituents. It is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of other organic compounds and drugs such as erythromycin, sulfasalazine, and tetracycline.
2-Chloro-6-iodobenzoic acid can be made from the condensation of chlorobenzene with sulfuric acid followed by cyclization with sulfuric acid to yield benzoic acid. The condensation product is then treated with hydrogen peroxide to make 2-chloro-6-iodobenzoic acid.
