CAS 25173-22-2: 3,4-Dichloro-α-methylbenzeneacetic acid

Description: 3,4-Dichloro-α-methylbenzeneacetic acid, with the CAS number 25173-22-2, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure and the presence of chlorine substituents. It features a dichlorobenzene ring, specifically with chlorine atoms located at the 3 and 4 positions, which influences its reactivity and physical properties. The α-methyl group attached to the acetic acid moiety contributes to its steric properties and potential biological activity. This compound is typically a solid at room temperature and may exhibit moderate solubility in organic solvents, while its solubility in water can be limited due to the hydrophobic nature of the aromatic ring. The presence of the carboxylic acid functional group imparts acidic characteristics, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as esterification or amidation. Additionally, the chlorinated structure may enhance its utility in agrochemical applications or as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Safety data should be consulted for handling and potential environmental impacts, as halogenated compounds can exhibit toxicity.
