Product Information

• Name: 2,3,5-Trichlorobenzoic acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2,3,5-Trichlorobenzoic acid is a chemical compound that can be synthesized from phenacyl chloride and phthalic anhydride. The synthesis of 2,3,5-trichlorobenzoic acid is accomplished in two steps. First, the phenacyl chloride and ammonium sulfate are mixed together at a temperature of about 100°C for about 12 hours to produce 2-chloro-4-(phenylazo)benzene-1,3-diol (2). This product is then mixed with phthalic anhydride at a temperature of about 150°C for about 6 hours to produce 2,3,5-trichlorobenzoic acid (1). The synthesis of this compound has been shown to be thermophilic and reactive. It has also been shown to have single crystal x-ray diffraction properties.
