2-[(2,3,4-Trichlorophenyl)thio]acetic acid

Description:

2-[(2,3,4-Trichlorophenyl)thio]acetic acid, with the CAS number 71965-10-1, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a thioether functional group and a carboxylic acid group. This compound features a trichlorophenyl moiety, which contributes to its chemical stability and potential biological activity. The presence of three chlorine atoms on the phenyl ring enhances its lipophilicity and may influence its reactivity and interaction with biological systems. The thioether linkage imparts unique properties, such as increased nucleophilicity and potential for forming metal complexes. In terms of solubility, compounds of this nature are often soluble in organic solvents but may exhibit limited solubility in water due to the hydrophobic nature of the chlorinated aromatic ring. The compound may be of interest in various fields, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, due to its potential applications in drug development or as a herbicide. Safety and handling precautions should be observed, as chlorinated compounds can pose environmental and health risks.
