4-Amino-3-chloro-5-methylbenzoic acid, with the CAS number 157069-52-8, is an aromatic compound characterized by the presence of an amino group (-NH2), a chloro substituent (-Cl), and a carboxylic acid group (-COOH) on a benzene ring. This compound features a methyl group (-CH3) as well, which contributes to its overall structure and properties. It is typically a solid at room temperature and is soluble in polar solvents due to the presence of the carboxylic acid functional group. The amino group can participate in hydrogen bonding, enhancing its solubility in water. This compound may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in pharmaceutical research and development. Its chlorinated structure can influence its reactivity and stability, potentially affecting its applications in various chemical syntheses or as an intermediate in drug formulation. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken.

4-Amino-3-chloro-5-methylbenzoic acid is a white crystalline solid that has been shown to be effective against many species of insects. It is used as an insecticide and also has some antibacterial properties. 4-Amino-3-chloro-5-methylbenzoic acid is toxic to insects because it inhibits the enzyme chitin synthase, which is required for the synthesis of chitin, a major component of insect exoskeletons. This chemical binds reversibly to diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella) cuticle and causes paralysis, leading to death. The crystal structure of this compound has been determined by X ray diffraction studies.
