2,3,4,5-Tetrachlorobenzoic acid

Description:
2,3,4,5-Tetrachlorobenzoic acid is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of four chlorine atoms substituted on the benzene ring at the 2, 3, 4, and 5 positions relative to the carboxylic acid group. This compound is a white to pale yellow solid at room temperature and is sparingly soluble in water, but more soluble in organic solvents such as acetone and ethanol. It exhibits strong acidity due to the carboxylic acid functional group, which can donate protons in solution. The presence of multiple chlorine atoms enhances its hydrophobic character and can influence its reactivity, making it a useful intermediate in organic synthesis and a potential candidate for studying environmental persistence and toxicity. Additionally, 2,3,4,5-tetrachlorobenzoic acid is often used in research related to herbicides and other agrochemicals, as well as in the study of chlorinated aromatic compounds' environmental impact. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound due to its potential health hazards.
