CAS 1642-81-5: 4-(Chloromethyl)benzoic acid

Description: 4-(Chloromethyl)benzoic acid, with the CAS number 1642-81-5, is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a chloromethyl group attached to the para position of a benzoic acid structure. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents, with limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic ring. The chloromethyl group enhances its reactivity, making it useful in various chemical synthesis applications, including the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The presence of the carboxylic acid functional group contributes to its acidity and potential for forming salts and esters. Additionally, 4-(Chloromethyl)benzoic acid can participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions, allowing for further functionalization. Safety considerations include handling it with care, as it may be harmful if ingested or inhaled, and appropriate personal protective equipment should be used during handling. Overall, this compound serves as a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis.
