2-Chloro-6-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid

Description:

2-Chloro-6-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a chloro group and a trifluoromethyl group on a benzoic acid structure. The molecular formula is C8H4ClF3O2, indicating the presence of chlorine, fluorine, and oxygen in addition to carbon and hydrogen. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is known for its relatively low solubility in water, while being more soluble in organic solvents. It exhibits properties typical of benzoic acids, such as acidity due to the carboxylic acid functional group, which can participate in hydrogen bonding. The trifluoromethyl group significantly influences its chemical reactivity and stability, often enhancing lipophilicity and altering the compound's electronic properties. 2-Chloro-6-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid is utilized in various applications, including as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, and in research settings for studying structure-activity relationships in chemical compounds. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this substance due to its potential toxicity and environmental impact.

CAS: 2376-00-3

2-Chloro-6-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid is a plant growth regulator that inhibits the ethylene synthesis. It is used to stimulate plant growth, particularly in fruit trees and vines. 2-Chloro-6-(trifluoromethyl)benzoic acid binds to an enzyme called ACC synthase that is responsible for converting acetate into ethylene. This binding prevents the formation of ACC, resulting in lower levels of ethylene production.
