Product Information

• Name: 4,5-Dichlorophthalic acid
• Synonyms: 4,5-Dichloro-2-carboxybenzoic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4,5-Dichlorophthalic acid is a dibasic acid that can be used to produce polycarboxylic acids and phthalimides. It is a colorless solid that reacts with water in the presence of oxygen or other oxidizing agents to form hydrogen chloride. The reaction yields of 4,5-dichlorophthalic acid are dependent on the concentration of proton donor. The optical properties of 4,5-dichlorophthalic acid are determined by its intramolecular hydrogen bond and its substructures. The molecule has an acylation reaction with diisopropylamine to form 4,5-dichlorophthaloyl chloride. This product also undergoes dehydration reactions to produce hexamethylenetetramine and phthalimides. Hydrogen bonds between 4,5-dichlorophthalic acid and water molecules are broken during these reactions, which may lead to the formation
