Description:3-(4-Chlorophenyl)propionic acid, also known as 4-chlorophenylpropanoic acid, is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by its propionic acid backbone substituted with a para-chlorophenyl group. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white 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 enhances its lipophilicity and can influence its biological activity. It is often utilized in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The compound exhibits typical acid properties, including the ability to donate protons in solution, which can affect its reactivity and interactions with other chemical species. Additionally, its structural features may contribute to specific pharmacological activities, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
