4-Chloro-α-hydroxybenzenepropanoic acid

Description:
4-Chloro-α-hydroxybenzenepropanoic acid, also known by its CAS number 23434-95-9, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a chloro substituent and a hydroxyl group on a benzene ring, along with a propanoic acid moiety. This compound typically appears as a solid at room temperature and is soluble in polar solvents due to the presence of the hydroxyl group, which can engage in hydrogen bonding. The chloro group introduces a level of reactivity and can influence the compound's biological activity and chemical behavior. It is often used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. The presence of both acidic and hydroxyl functional groups suggests potential applications in various chemical reactions, including esterification and nucleophilic substitution. As with many chlorinated compounds, safety precautions should be taken when handling this substance due to potential toxicity and environmental concerns.
