2-Chloro-4-fluoro-3-methylbenzoic acid

Description:

2-Chloro-4-fluoro-3-methylbenzoic acid is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a benzoic acid core substituted with a chlorine atom at the second position, a fluorine atom at the fourth position, and a methyl group at the third position of the benzene ring. This compound typically exhibits a white to off-white crystalline appearance and is soluble in organic solvents, with limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. The presence of both halogen substituents (chlorine and fluorine) can influence its reactivity, making it a potential candidate for various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions and coupling reactions. Additionally, the carboxylic acid functional group contributes to its acidity and potential for forming salts or esters. This compound may be of interest in pharmaceutical research and development, particularly in the synthesis of biologically active molecules or as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Safety data should be consulted for handling and disposal, as halogenated compounds can pose environmental and health risks.
