2-Chloro-5-ethylbenzoic acid

Description:
2-Chloro-5-ethylbenzoic acid is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a chloro group and an ethyl substituent on the benzene ring. The molecular structure features a benzoic acid core, which consists of a benzene ring attached to a carboxylic acid (-COOH) functional group. The chloro group is located at the second position, while the ethyl group is at the fifth position relative to the carboxylic acid. 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 typical acid properties, including the ability to donate protons in solution. The presence of the chloro group can influence its reactivity, making it a potential candidate for various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions. 2-Chloro-5-ethylbenzoic acid may be utilized in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals or agrochemicals. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as with any chemical substance.
