CAS 20849-78-9: 4-(2-Chloroethyl)benzoic acid
Description:4-(2-Chloroethyl)benzoic acid, with the CAS number 20849-78-9, is an organic compound characterized by its benzoic acid structure substituted with a chloroethyl group at the para position. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents, while its solubility in water is limited due to the hydrophobic nature of the aromatic ring. The presence of the chloroethyl group introduces both polar and electrophilic characteristics, making it reactive in various chemical reactions, such as nucleophilic substitutions. It is often used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Additionally, the compound's potential biological activity can be attributed to the functional groups present, which may influence its interaction with biological systems. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this substance, as it may pose health risks, including skin and respiratory irritation. Proper storage and disposal methods are essential to mitigate environmental impact and ensure safety.
