[1,1'-Biphenyl]-4-carboxylicacid, 3'-chloro-4'-methyl-

Description:

[1,1'-Biphenyl]-4-carboxylic acid, 3'-chloro-4'-methyl- is an organic compound characterized by its biphenyl structure, which consists of two phenyl rings connected by a single bond. The presence of a carboxylic acid functional group (-COOH) at the para position of one of the phenyl rings contributes to its acidity and reactivity, making it a potential candidate for various chemical reactions, including esterification and amidation. The substitution of chlorine and methyl groups at the 3' and 4' positions, respectively, introduces additional functional diversity, influencing the compound's physical and chemical properties, such as solubility, boiling point, and reactivity. This compound may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in pharmaceutical research. Its molecular structure allows for potential applications in organic synthesis and material science. As with many organic compounds, safety data should be consulted to understand its handling and toxicity.
