2-Amino-3,6-dichlorobenzoic acid

2-Amino-3,6-dichlorobenzoic acid is a synthetic compound that has been used as a pesticide and in the manufacture of dyes. It has also been used to synthesize other compounds such as amino acids, pharmaceuticals, and other organic molecules. The chemical structure of this substance is similar to the natural amino acids phenylalanine and tyrosine. 2-Amino-3,6-dichlorobenzoic acid is synthesized by reacting an amine with nitrous acid and chlorine gas in the presence of a solid catalyst. It can be crystallized from water or alcohol solutions. 2-Amino-3,6-dichlorobenzoic acid can be deformed by heat or light exposure or by oxidation.

Applications 2-Amino-3,6-dichlorobenzoic Acid is a reagent used in the synthesis of 3-Kinase inhibitors with improved metabolic stability. References Patel, L. et al.: J. Med. Chem., 59, 9228 (2016);
