Chloro(phenyl)acetic acid, with the CAS number 4755-72-0, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both a chloro group and a phenyl group attached to an acetic acid moiety. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents, while its solubility in water is limited due to its hydrophobic phenyl group. The presence of the chloro substituent enhances its reactivity, making it useful in various chemical syntheses and applications. Chloro(phenyl)acetic acid can participate in nucleophilic substitution reactions and can serve as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Its chemical structure allows for potential interactions with biological systems, which may be of interest in medicinal chemistry. As with many chlorinated compounds, it is important to handle chloro(phenyl)acetic acid with care due to potential toxicity and environmental concerns associated with chlorinated organic compounds. Proper safety measures should be observed when working with this substance in laboratory settings.
