4-Chlorophenylacetic acid Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

white to cream colored powder

Uses

4-Chlorophenylacetic Acid is a chlorinated phenyl acetic acid that is an antitumor differentiation inducer and may be an effective therapeutic agent in neuroblastoma therapy. 4-Chlorophenylacetic Acid shows plant growth-regulating activity.

Uses

4-Chlorophenylacetic acid was used to study the mechanism of aerobic degradation of 1,1-dichloro-2,2-bis(4-chlorophenyl)ethane by Ralstonia eutropha A5.

Uses

4-Chlorophenylacetic Acid is a chlorinated phenyl acetic acid that is an antitumor differentiation inducer and may be an effective therapeutic agent in neuroblastoma therapy. 4-Chlorophenylacetic Acid shows plant growth-regulating activity.

Definition

ChEBI: A monocarboxylic acid that is acetic acid in which one of the methyl hydrogens is substituted by a 4-chlorophenyl group.

General Description

4-Chlorophenylacetic acid possess anticancer properties. It is a novel therapeutic agent which can be useful in prevention or treatment of estrogen-sensitive breast cancer. It acts as carbon and energy supplement and is degraded by Pseudomonas sp. strain CBS3.

Purification Methods

Purify it as for 3-chlorophenylacetic acid. [Beilstein 9 III 2263, 9 IV 1674.]
