2-(4-Amino-2-chlorophenyl)acetic acid(CAT: L002302) is an aromatic compound featuring an amino group at the 4-position and a chlorine atom at the 2-position of a phenyl ring, with an acetic acid moiety attached to the same ring. This structure combines the reactivity of both an aromatic amine and a carboxylic acid, making it a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis. It is commonly used in medicinal chemistry for the development of pharmaceutical agents, as its functional groups can participate in various reactions such as amidation and esterification. Additionally, the presence of both an electron-withdrawing (chlorine) and electron-donating (amino) group can modulate its biological activity, contributing to its potential in designing bioactive molecules, such as enzyme inhibitors or receptor ligands.
