2-Chloro-3-methylbenzoic acid

Description:

2-Chloro-3-methylbenzoic acid is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a chloro group and a methyl group on a benzoic acid framework. The molecular structure features a benzene ring with a carboxylic acid (-COOH) functional group, a chlorine atom at the second position, and a methyl group at the third position relative to the carboxylic acid. This compound is typically 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 moderate acidity due to the carboxylic acid group, which can donate protons in solution. The presence of the chlorine and methyl substituents can influence its reactivity and potential applications in organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. Additionally, 2-chloro-3-methylbenzoic acid may serve as an intermediate in the synthesis of various chemical compounds, highlighting its importance in chemical research and industry.
