CAS 2444-36-2

(2-Chlorophenyl)acetic acid

Description:

(2-Chlorophenyl)acetic acid, with the CAS number 2444-36-2, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure and the presence of both a carboxylic acid and a chlorophenyl group. It features a phenyl ring substituted with a chlorine atom at the ortho position relative to the acetic acid functional group. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents, while its solubility in water is limited due to the hydrophobic nature of the aromatic ring. (2-Chlorophenyl)acetic acid exhibits acidic properties, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and amidation. It is often utilized in pharmaceutical research and synthesis, particularly in the development of anti-inflammatory and analgesic agents. Additionally, its chlorinated structure may impart unique biological activities, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.

2-Chlorophenylacetic acid

CAS: 2444-36-2

2-Chlorophenylacetic acid is a chemical compound that belongs to the group of phenylacetic acids. It is an intermediate in the synthesis of benzofuranone and other organic compounds. 2-Chlorophenylacetic acid reacts with hydroxyl groups on the surface of water molecules to form 2-chlorophenol, which can be used as a wastewater treatment agent. The chloride ion also has a strong affinity for fatty acids, so it has been used as a catalyst in the production of chlorinated fatty acids. This chemical also binds to 5-HT2A receptors in human liver cells, where it increases cellular levels of cyclic AMP (cAMP) and inhibits protein kinase A activity. The binding of 2-chlorophenylacetic acid to 5-HT2A receptors leads to increased gene expression in response to serotonin stimulation, which may be due to its ability to inhibit protein kinase A.
