2,4,6-Trichlorobenzoic acid Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

beige to light brown crystalline powder

Uses

2,4,6-Trichlorobenzoic Acid is a possible degradation intermediate of Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) in contaminated soil, suggesting the occurrence of microbial transformation processes over time.

Uses

Reactant involved in:

• Active-sodium-promoted reductive cleavage of halogenated benzoic acids
• Synthesis of aryl aminopyrazole benzamides for use as non-steroidal selective glucocorticoid receptor agonists
• Flame retardant monomer synthesis
• Synthesis of 3,4,7-trisubstituted coumarins for use as antifungals
• Solid-phase synthesis of saphenamycin analogs with antimicrobial activity

Uses

2,4,6-Trichlorobenzoic acid can be used as reactant involved in Active-sodium-promoted reductive cleavage of halogenated benzoic acids; Synthesis of aryl aminopyrazole benzamides for use as non-steroidal selective glucocorticoid receptor agonists ; Flame retardant monomer synthesis; Synthesis of 3,4,7-trisubstituted coumarins for use as antifungals and Solid-phase synthesis of saphenamycin analogs with antimicrobial activity.
