CAS 169310-05-8: 3-Choro-2-formylbenzoic acid

Description: 3-Chloro-2-formylbenzoic acid is an aromatic compound characterized by the presence of a chloro substituent, a formyl group, and a carboxylic acid functional group on a benzene ring. The chloro group is located at the meta position relative to the carboxylic acid, while the formyl group is positioned ortho to the carboxylic acid. This compound typically appears as a solid at room temperature and is soluble in polar organic solvents. Its structure contributes to its reactivity, particularly in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions and in the formation of various derivatives through functional group transformations. The presence of both the formyl and carboxylic acid groups allows for potential applications in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, the compound may exhibit interesting biological activities, making it a subject of interest in medicinal chemistry. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as halogenated compounds can pose health risks.
