Description:
Methyl 2-chloro-5-methoxybenzoate, with the CAS number 54810-63-8, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of benzoate esters. It features a methoxy group (-OCH3) and a chloro substituent (-Cl) on the aromatic ring, which contribute to its chemical properties. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and form. It is known for its moderate solubility in organic solvents, while being less soluble in water due to the hydrophobic nature of the aromatic structure. Methyl 2-chloro-5-methoxybenzoate may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in pharmaceutical and agrochemical research. Its synthesis often involves the reaction of appropriate benzoic acid derivatives with methylating agents and chlorinating agents. As with many organic compounds, it should be handled with care, observing safety protocols to avoid exposure, as it may pose health risks. Proper storage conditions are essential to maintain its stability and prevent degradation.
