Benzeneacetic acid, 3-(chloromethyl)-, methyl ester

Description:
Benzeneacetic acid, 3-(chloromethyl)-, methyl ester, with the CAS number 91880-72-7, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure and ester functional group. It features a benzene ring substituted with a chloromethyl group and a methyl ester group, which contributes to its reactivity and potential applications in organic synthesis. The presence of the chloromethyl group enhances its electrophilic character, making it useful in various chemical reactions, including nucleophilic substitutions. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and specific conditions. It is soluble in organic solvents, reflecting its non-polar characteristics due to the aromatic ring. As with many chlorinated compounds, it may exhibit toxicity and should be handled with care, following appropriate safety protocols. Its applications may extend to pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, or as an intermediate in the synthesis of more complex organic molecules. Proper storage and disposal are essential to mitigate environmental and health risks associated with chlorinated organic compounds.
