Description:3,4-Dichlorobenzoic acid is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of two chlorine atoms located at the 3 and 4 positions on the benzene ring relative to the carboxylic acid group. Its molecular formula is C7H4Cl2O2, and it has a molecular weight that reflects the presence of these halogen substituents. This compound typically appears as a white crystalline solid and is known for its moderate solubility in organic solvents, while being less soluble in water. 3,4-Dichlorobenzoic acid is utilized in various applications, including as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and dyes. It exhibits properties such as being a weak acid, with a pKa value indicating its dissociation in solution. Additionally, it can participate in electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions due to the electron-withdrawing nature of the chlorine atoms, which influence its reactivity. Safety precautions are necessary when handling this compound, as it may pose environmental and health risks.
