Description:(3-Chlorophenyl)acetic acid, with the CAS number 1878-65-5, is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a chlorinated phenyl group attached to an acetic acid moiety. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone, but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. The presence of the chlorine atom at the meta position of the phenyl ring influences its chemical reactivity and biological activity, often enhancing its lipophilicity. (3-Chlorophenyl)acetic acid is utilized in various chemical syntheses and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its properties, including melting point and boiling point, can vary based on purity and specific conditions. As with many chlorinated compounds, it is important to handle (3-Chlorophenyl)acetic acid with care, considering potential environmental and health impacts associated with chlorinated organic compounds.
