Description:4-Chloro-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde, also known as salicylaldehyde chloride, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both a hydroxyl group (-OH) and an aldehyde group (-CHO) on a benzene ring, with a chlorine atom substituted at the para position relative to the hydroxyl group. Its molecular formula is C7H6ClO2, and it typically appears as a pale yellow to light brown liquid or solid, depending on its purity and form. This compound is known for its aromatic properties and is often used in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It exhibits moderate solubility in polar solvents like ethanol and water, while being less soluble in non-polar solvents. The presence of the chlorine atom enhances its reactivity, making it a useful intermediate in chemical reactions, such as electrophilic aromatic substitution. Additionally, 4-chloro-2-hydroxybenzaldehyde can participate in various chemical transformations, including condensation reactions and the formation of derivatives, which are valuable in synthetic organic chemistry.
