Methyl 2-chlorobenzoate Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

White to light yellow crystal powder

Uses

Methyl 2-chlorobenzoate may be used in the synthesis of various quinazolinone derivatives. It was used as starting reagent in the synthesis of 2-chlorobenzohydrazide.

General Description

Methyl 2-chlorobenzoate, a methyl 2-halobenzoate, is an ester. It can be synthesized from 2-chlorobenzoyl chloride. Its reduction with NaBH₄ in diglyme at 162°C affords 2-chlorobenzyl alcohol.
