Description

Methyl 3-chlorobenzoate is a carbonyl compound that is used in the synthesis of salicylhydroxamic acid. This product has been shown to be an effective inhibitor of soil microorganisms, with the greatest inhibitory effect occurring at concentrations of 0.5 mg/L. The methyl 3-chlorobenzoate molecule contains aryl chlorides and a functional group, which can be identified using nmr spectra. Methyl 3-chlorobenzoate also has control experiments that show it does not interfere with the production of ethyl esters or benzoates from acetaldehyde and propionaldehyde respectively.
Methyl 3-chlorobenzoate is synthesized by heating copper salt with an isopropyl group and ethyl esters in benzene solvent at refluxing temperature for two hours.
