• Description: 3-Chloro-4-toluic acid is a quinone, which is derived from 3,4-dichlorotoluene. It has been shown to bind to nuclear receptors and act as a retinoic acid linker. This compound is also used in the synthesis of organic compounds by desorption in an acidic environment, followed by methyl esterification with an alcohol. 3-Chloro-4-toluic acid can be converted into zirconium chloride or hydrotalcite through chlorination or hydrochlorination. The resulting product can be used for dispersive solid-phase extraction methods.
