5-Chloro-2-methylbenzoic acid

Description:

5-Chloro-2-methylbenzoic acid is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of a chlorine atom and a methyl group on a benzoic acid framework. Its molecular structure features a benzene ring substituted at the 5-position with a chlorine atom and at the 2-position with a methyl group, contributing to its unique chemical properties. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents while exhibiting limited solubility in water. It is known for its applications in organic synthesis, particularly as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The presence of the chlorine atom enhances its reactivity, making it a useful building block in various chemical reactions, including electrophilic aromatic substitution. Additionally, 5-Chloro-2-methylbenzoic acid can exhibit acidic properties due to the carboxylic acid functional group, allowing it to participate in acid-base reactions. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
