4-Chloromandelic acid

Description:

4-Chloromandelic acid is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a chlorinated phenyl group and a mandelic acid structure. Its molecular formula is C9H9ClO3, and it features a chiral center, which contributes to its potential optical activity. The compound typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid and is soluble in polar solvents such as water and alcohols, while being less soluble in non-polar solvents. 4-Chloromandelic acid is known for its applications in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. It can act as an intermediate in the synthesis of various biologically active compounds. The presence of the chlorine atom can influence the compound's reactivity and biological properties, making it a subject of interest in medicinal chemistry. Additionally, safety data indicates that, like many chlorinated compounds, it should be handled with care due to potential toxicity and environmental concerns. Proper storage and handling protocols are essential to ensure safety during its use in laboratory and industrial settings.

CAS: 492-86-4

4-Chloromandelic acid is an organic compound that is an important intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and other organic compounds. It can be used as a ligand to form complexes with transition metals, such as Mo(VI), which are used to catalyze hydrogenation reactions. 4-Chloromandelic acid binds to the substrate binding site on the enzyme through hydrogen bonding interactions. This binding causes a conformational change in the enzyme that inhibits its activity. The kinetic data for 4-chloromandelic acid was determined using trifluoroacetic acid as the solvent and supercritical carbon dioxide as the antisolvent. The enantiomer of 4-chloromandelic acid was identified by analytical methods, including gas chromatography and mass spectroscopy.
