P-chloro mandelic acid (CAS 579-06-8) is a key chiral intermediate synthesized via chlorination of mandelic acid. It serves as a critical building block for pharmaceutical synthesis, particularly in the production of antibiotics and chiral drugs. The compound features a chlorine substituent on the para-position of the benzene ring.
Requires storage in cool, dry, well-ventilated areas away from oxidizers. Personnel must wear appropriate PPE including gloves and goggles to prevent skin irritation and respiratory exposure during handling.
