Product Information

• Name: 2-Chloro-3-nitrobenzoic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Chloro-3-nitrobenzoic acid is a mesomorphic organic compound that has been shown to inhibit the growth of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It inhibits bacterial growth by binding to the factor receptor, which is a protein complex that interacts with the proton gradient and regulates cell division. The synthesis of this compound is achieved through high concentrations of nitrobenzene in a solid phase synthesis. 2-Chloro-3-nitrobenzoic acid is obtained in an isolated yield, typically greater than 90%. This compound dissolves readily in organic solvents such as ethyl acetate, ether, and chloroform.
