4-Chloro-2-methoxybenzoic acid

Description:

4-Chloro-2-methoxybenzoic acid is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a chloro group and a methoxy group on a benzene ring. Its molecular structure features a benzoic acid core, with a chlorine atom positioned at the para (4) position and a methoxy group at the meta (2) position relative to the carboxylic acid functional group. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents, with limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. It exhibits acidic properties due to the carboxylic acid group, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and amidation. 4-Chloro-2-methoxybenzoic acid is often used in organic synthesis and may serve as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its unique substituents can influence its reactivity and biological activity, making it a compound of interest in medicinal chemistry and material science. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as with any chemical substance.
