Description:2-Chlorobenzyl alcohol is a chemical compound that is used to synthesize other compounds. It is produced by the reaction of ethyl formate and hydrogen chloride in a reaction vessel. It reacts with benzoates to produce 2-chlorobenzoates, which are used as intermediates in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals. Hydroxyl groups can react with hydrogen fluoride to produce hydrofluoric acid, which is used as an industrial solvent. 2-Chlorobenzyl alcohol also reacts with hydroxide ions to produce ethylene glycol, which is used in making polyester fibers and plastics. This chemical compound has structural studies that show it has a proton and two hydroxyl groups that can react with hydrogen bond. Hydrogen bonds are important for the stability of DNA structures. The molecular structures of velvetleaf plants contain 2-chlorobenzyl alcohol, which may be due to its role in transferring oxygen from leaves to roots for respiration during
