Product Information

• Name: 3,6-Dichloro-2-hydroxy benzoic acid
• Synonyms: 3,6-Dichlorosalicylic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 3,6-Dichloro-2-hydroxy benzoic acid is a reactive compound that is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of organic compounds. It reacts with the chlorine atom to form a diazonium salt. The diazonium salt then undergoes demethylation, which allows it to be converted into various products such as 3,5-dichloro-2-hydroxybenzoic acid or 2,4-dichloro-3,5-dimethoxybenzoic acid. 3,6-Dichloro-2-hydroxy benzoic acid is a strong base and can react with any acidic compounds present in the reaction vessel. This product has been shown to be effective for wastewater treatment by converting organic compounds into less harmful compounds.
