CAS 938-95-4

4-Chloro-α-methylbenzeneacetic acid

Description:

4-Chloro-α-methylbenzeneacetic acid, also known by its CAS number 938-95-4, is an organic compound characterized by a chlorinated aromatic structure. It features a chloro substituent on the para position of a methylbenzene (toluene) ring, along with an acetic acid functional group. This compound typically appears as a solid or crystalline substance and is soluble in organic solvents, but its solubility in water is limited due to the hydrophobic nature of the aromatic ring. The presence of the chlorine atom introduces unique reactivity, making it useful in various chemical syntheses and applications, particularly in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its acidic nature is attributed to the carboxylic acid group, which can participate in hydrogen bonding and influence its reactivity and interactions with other molecules. Safety data sheets should be consulted for handling and storage guidelines, as compounds with halogen substituents can exhibit toxicity and environmental concerns. Overall, 4-Chloro-α-methylbenzeneacetic acid is a valuable compound in organic chemistry with diverse applications.
