2,3,5,6-Tetrachlorobenzoic acid

Description:
2,3,5,6-Tetrachlorobenzoic acid is an aromatic compound characterized by the presence of four chlorine atoms and a carboxylic acid functional group attached to a benzoic acid structure. Its molecular formula is C7HCl4O2, indicating a relatively high degree of chlorination, which significantly influences its chemical properties and reactivity. This compound is typically a white to light yellow solid and is sparingly soluble in water, but more soluble in organic solvents such as acetone and ethanol. The presence of multiple chlorine atoms enhances its hydrophobic characteristics and can lead to increased environmental persistence. 2,3,5,6-Tetrachlorobenzoic acid is primarily used in research and as an intermediate in the synthesis of various chemical products. It is important to handle this compound with care due to its potential toxicity and environmental impact, as chlorinated compounds can be harmful to aquatic life and may bioaccumulate. Proper safety measures should be taken when working with this substance in laboratory settings.
