2,3-Dichlorobenzoic Acid (CAS 578-90-1) is a chlorinated aromatic carboxylic acid widely utilized in organic synthesis. Its molecular formula is C7H4Cl2O2. Produced via the chlorination of benzoic acid or oxidation of dichlorotoluene derivatives, it serves as a critical intermediate.
Storage requires sealed containers in cool, dry, ventilated areas away from incompatible oxidizers. Personnel must wear appropriate PPE including gloves and goggles due to potential skin irritation and corrosive nature.
