CAS 208165-96-2: Benzoic acid, 2-chloro-4-fluoro-5-methyl-

Description: Benzoic acid, 2-chloro-4-fluoro-5-methyl- is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a benzoic acid core with specific halogen and methyl substituents. The compound features a chlorine atom at the 2-position, a fluorine atom at the 4-position, and a methyl group at the 5-position of the benzene ring, which influences its chemical reactivity and physical properties. It is typically a white crystalline solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents. The presence of the electronegative halogens can enhance its acidity compared to unsubstituted benzoic acid, affecting its behavior in various chemical reactions. This compound may be used in organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals, or as an intermediate in the production of other chemical compounds. Its unique structure may also impart specific biological activities, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry. Safety and handling precautions should be observed, as with many chemical substances, due to potential toxicity or environmental impact.
