3-Chloro-4-ethoxybenzoic acid

Description:
3-Chloro-4-ethoxybenzoic acid is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a chloro group and an ethoxy substituent on a benzoic acid framework. The molecular structure features a benzene ring with a carboxylic acid (-COOH) functional group, a chlorine atom at the meta position (3-position), and an ethoxy group (-OCH2CH3) at the para position (4-position). This compound is typically a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents, with limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic ethoxy group. It exhibits properties typical of benzoic acids, such as acidity, and can participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and nucleophilic substitution. The presence of the chloro and ethoxy groups can influence its reactivity and biological activity, making it of interest in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as halogenated compounds can pose health risks.
