1,4-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, 2-chloro-, 1-methyl ester

Description:
1,4-Benzenedicarboxylic acid, 2-chloro-, 1-methyl ester, commonly known as methyl 2-chloroterephthalate, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure featuring a benzene ring with two carboxylate groups and a chlorine substituent. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its physical state at room temperature. It is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone but has limited solubility in water. The presence of the chlorine atom enhances its reactivity, making it useful in various chemical synthesis processes, including the production of polymers and other derivatives. Methyl 2-chloroterephthalate can undergo reactions such as nucleophilic substitution and esterification, which are valuable in organic synthesis. Additionally, it is important to handle this compound with care due to potential health hazards associated with chlorinated compounds, including toxicity and environmental concerns. Proper safety measures should be observed when working with this substance in laboratory or industrial settings.
