Description

2-(Chloromethyl)phenylacetic acid is a nitro compound that can be synthesized from 2-chloro-1-nitrophenol and acetic anhydride. It is used in the synthesis of several drugs, including propranolol, fenoterol, and alprenolol. 2-(Chloromethyl)phenylacetic acid is synthesized by a liquid chromatography method using a column containing an adsorbent such as silica gel or alumina. The product yield depends on the length of the column and the temperature of elution. Elution is done with acetonitrile and chloride in various concentrations. The analytes are separated by using triflates as the mobile phase. The components are identified by comparing their retention times with those of standards.
