2-Chlorobenzoic acid（Cat No.:R052551）is an aromatic carboxylic acid with the molecular formula C₇H₅ClO₂, consisting of a benzene ring substituted with a chlorine atom at the ortho (2-) position relative to the carboxylic acid group. It appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid and is sparingly soluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. This compound is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, dyes, and agrochemicals. Its ortho-substitution influences its reactivity in electrophilic aromatic substitution. It may cause skin and eye irritation and should be handled with appropriate safety precautions.
