  ChEBI: 3-chlorobenzoic acid is a monochlorobenzoic acid carrying a chloro substituent at position 3. It has a role as a drug metabolite. It is functionally related to a benzoic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a 3-chlorobenzoate. |  [Synthesis Reference(s)]

  Crystallise the acid successively from glacial acetic acid, aqueous EtOH and pet ether (b 60-80o). It also recrystallises from *C6H6 or Et2O/hexane, and sublimes at 55o in a vacuum. [Anal Chem 26 726 1954] The methyl ester has m 21o, b 231o/760mm. The S-benzylisothiouronium salt has m 164-165o (from EtOH) [Friediger & Pedersen Acta Chem Scand 9 1425 1955, Samuel J Chem Soc 1318 1960]. [Beilstein 9 IV 969.] |
