CAS 31719-77-4

3-(Chloromethyl)benzoic acid

Description:

3-(Chloromethyl)benzoic acid, with the CAS number 31719-77-4, is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a chloromethyl group attached to the benzene ring at the meta position relative to the carboxylic acid functional group. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents, while its solubility in water is limited due to the hydrophobic nature of the aromatic ring. The chloromethyl group enhances its reactivity, making it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The presence of both the carboxylic acid and chloromethyl functionalities allows for diverse chemical transformations, including nucleophilic substitution and coupling reactions. Additionally, 3-(Chloromethyl)benzoic acid may exhibit biological activity, which can be explored in medicinal chemistry. As with many chlorinated compounds, appropriate safety measures should be taken when handling this substance due to potential toxicity and environmental concerns.
