Methyl 3-chloro-5-(hydroxymethyl)benzoate

Description:
Methyl 3-chloro-5-(hydroxymethyl)benzoate, with the CAS number 153203-58-8, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of benzoates. It features a benzoic acid structure where a methyl ester group is attached to the carboxylic acid, along with a chlorine atom and a hydroxymethyl group at specific positions on the aromatic ring. This compound is characterized by its moderate polarity due to the presence of both the hydroxymethyl and ester functional groups, which can influence its solubility in various solvents. The chlorine substituent introduces additional reactivity, making it a potential candidate for further chemical transformations. Methyl 3-chloro-5-(hydroxymethyl)benzoate may exhibit biological activity, which could be of interest in pharmaceutical applications. Its synthesis typically involves chlorination and subsequent functionalization of a methyl benzoate derivative. As with many organic compounds, handling should be done with care, considering potential hazards associated with chlorinated compounds.
