Description:3-Amino-4-chlorobenzoic acid, with the CAS number 2840-28-0, is an aromatic amino acid derivative characterized by the presence of both an amino group (-NH2) and a carboxylic acid group (-COOH) on a chlorinated benzene ring. Specifically, the amino group is located at the meta position relative to the carboxylic acid, while a chlorine atom is situated at the para position. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid and is soluble in polar solvents such as water and alcohols, owing to its polar functional groups. It exhibits acidic properties due to the carboxylic acid group, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, including amide formation and electrophilic substitution. 3-Amino-4-chlorobenzoic acid is often utilized in organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals, and as an intermediate in the production of dyes and agrochemicals. Its biological activity may also be of interest in medicinal chemistry, particularly in the development of compounds with potential therapeutic applications.
