2,6-Dichloro-4-methoxybenzoic acid

Description:
2,6-Dichloro-4-methoxybenzoic acid is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of two chlorine atoms and a methoxy group on a benzoic acid backbone. The molecular structure features a benzene ring substituted at the 2 and 6 positions with chlorine atoms and at the 4 position with a methoxy group (-OCH3). This compound is typically a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents, with limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. It exhibits properties typical of benzoic acids, including acidity, which allows it to participate in various chemical reactions such as esterification and amidation. The presence of chlorine atoms enhances its reactivity and potential applications in organic synthesis, while the methoxy group can influence its electronic properties and steric hindrance. 2,6-Dichloro-4-methoxybenzoic acid is often used in research and industrial applications, including as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines.
