General description

Structure and hydrogen bonding pattern in 2,4,6-trichlorobenzoic acid is reported.

Application

2,4,6-Trichlorobenzoic acid may be employed as sole carbon and energy supplement for a microbial community. It may be used in the synthesis of (+)-methynolide, the aglycon of a macrolide antibiotic, methymycin.
Reactant involved in:
  • Active-sodium-promoted reductive cleavage of halogenated benzoic acids
  • Synthesis of aryl aminopyrazole benzamides for use as non-steroidal selective glucocorticoid receptor agonists
  • Flame retardant monomer synthesis
  • Synthesis of 3,4,7-trisubstituted coumarins for use as antifungals
  • Solid-phase synthesis of saphenamycin analogs with antimicrobial activity

Cocatalyst for cis-dihydroxylation and epoxidation of alkenes
