3-Chloro-2,6-dihydroxybenzoic acid

Description:
3-Chloro-2,6-dihydroxybenzoic acid is an aromatic compound characterized by the presence of a chlorinated benzene ring with two hydroxyl (-OH) groups and a carboxylic acid (-COOH) functional group. The chlorine atom is positioned at the meta position relative to the carboxylic acid group, while the hydroxyl groups are located at the ortho positions. This compound exhibits both acidic and phenolic properties, making it soluble in polar solvents. Its structure allows for potential hydrogen bonding, which can influence its reactivity and solubility. The presence of the chlorine atom can also affect the compound's electronic properties, potentially enhancing its reactivity in electrophilic substitution reactions. 3-Chloro-2,6-dihydroxybenzoic acid may be used in various applications, including pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
