Description

2,5-Dichlorobenzoic acid is a hydrogen-bonding agent that interacts with other molecules by forming hydrogen bonds. It reacts with benzoate to form 2,5-dichlorobenzoate, which is an intermediate in the synthesis of phenylbenzene and biphenyl. 2,5-Dichlorobenzoic acid has been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria such as Stenotrophomonas maltophilia and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The compound also lowers cholesterol levels in rats and humans.
2,5-Dichlorobenzoic acid has a redox potential of -0.25 V and can be used to reduce sodium hydroxide solution or hydroxide solution. This chemical's structure allows it to be taken up by cells through passive diffusion and active transport mechanisms.
