2-bromo-3-chlorophenylacetic acid; CAS No.: 1261775-55-6;2-bromo-3-chlorophenylacetic acid. PROPERTIES: 2-bromo-3-chlorophenylacetic acid is a brominated and chlorinated aromatic carboxylic acid with molecular formula C8H6BrClO2. It typically exists as a white to off-white crystalline powder with a melting point of approximately 120-125 C. The compound has limited water solubility but dissolves in basic aqueous solutions. It exhibits moderate thermal stability but may decompose when exposed to high temperatures or strong acids, releasing toxic bromine and chlorine-containing fumes. Proper storage involves keeping it in tightly sealed containers below 30 C, protected from moisture and heat. APPLICATIONS: In pharmaceutical research, this compound serves as a lead structure for developing antimicrobial and anticancer agents. The bromo and chloro substitution provides electron-withdrawing effects that enhance binding to biological targets, while the carboxylic acid group forms the pharmacophore essential for activity (European Journal of Medicinal Chemistry). In materials science, 2-bromo-3-chlorophenylacetic acid contributes to the creation of functional organic materials with tailored electronic properties. Its halogenated aromatic core and carboxylic acid group influence the electronic characteristics of derived materials, useful in optoelectronic applications such as organic light-emitting diodes (Journal of Materials Chemistry C). The compound can also form coordination polymers or metal-organic frameworks with potential applications in gas storage or catalysis (Chemistry of Materials).
