2-Chloro-4-(pyridin-2-yl)benzoic acid(CAT: L034573) is an aromatic compound featuring a benzoic acid core substituted with a chlorine atom at the 2-position and a pyridin-2-yl group at the 4-position. This structure combines both carboxylic acid and heterocyclic pyridine functionalities, making it highly valuable in organic synthesis, particularly for developing pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The carboxylic acid group provides a site for derivatization, allowing for the formation of amides, esters, or salts, while the chloro and pyridinyl groups contribute to unique electronic properties that can enhance binding affinity or biological activity in target molecules. 2-Chloro-4-(pyridin-2-yl)benzoic acid is widely used in medicinal chemistry as a versatile intermediate for synthesizing compounds that interact with specific biological targets, such as enzymes or receptors, and is often explored for its potential in anti-inflammatory or anticancer research.
