3-Chlorosalicylic acid (Cat No.: R000777) is a chlorinated derivative of salicylic acid, featuring a chlorine atom at the 3-position, a hydroxyl group at the 2-position, and a carboxylic acid group at the 1-position on a benzene ring. This compound is commonly used as an intermediate in pharmaceutical, agrochemical, and dye synthesis. Its functional groups allow for versatile transformations, including esterification, amidation, and metal coordination. The electron-withdrawing chlorine enhances its reactivity, making it suitable for developing bioactive molecules and analytical reagents.
