2-Chloro-4-methoxybenzoic acid

Description:

2-Chloro-4-methoxybenzoic acid is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a chloro group and a methoxy group on a benzoic acid framework. Its molecular structure features a benzene ring substituted at the 2-position with a chlorine atom and at the 4-position with a methoxy group (-OCH3), along with a carboxylic acid group (-COOH) that defines its acidic properties. 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 aromatic structure. It exhibits moderate acidity, typical of carboxylic acids, and can participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and nucleophilic substitution. 2-Chloro-4-methoxybenzoic acid is used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
