About 2-Amino-3-chlorobenzoic acid

2-Amino-3-chlorobenzoic acid (CAS Number: 6388-47-2) is an amine-functionalized compound with nucleophilic nitrogen reactivity. ChemContract Research supplies this moderate-complexity compound in high purity from our Huntington Beach, California facility, ensuring consistent quality and reliable domestic delivery throughout the United States.

Amines are among the most prevalent functional groups in drug molecules — over 80% of small-molecule pharmaceuticals contain at least one amine moiety. Chloro substituents serve a dual role in drug design — as synthetic handles for late-stage functionalization and as bioisosteres that modulate lipophilicity and binding affinity. Carboxylic acids are among the most synthetically versatile functional groups — they can be converted to amides, esters, acid chlorides, anhydrides, alcohols, and aldehydes in a single step.

Primary applications include buchwald–hartwig amination for aryl c–n bond construction and nucleophilic aromatic substitution (snar) for ether and amine formation. This compound serves researchers and manufacturers across the pharmaceutical, polymer, agrochemical sectors. Whether you require 2-Amino-3-chlorobenzoic acid for early-stage research, process development, or commercial-scale production, ChemContract Research offers flexible ordering from milligram to multi-kilogram quantities with custom synthesis options and full batch documentation including Certificates of Analysis (CoA) and Safety Data Sheets.

Storage & Handling for Amines

Handling Guidelines

Amines may have strong odors and can be corrosive to skin. Handle under adequate ventilation with chemical-resistant gloves and eye protection. Some chlorinated compounds are volatile or irritating. Use a fume hood and appropriate PPE. Acid chlorides react vigorously with water. Acids may be corrosive or irritating. Handle with chemical-resistant gloves and eye protection. Use a fume hood for volatile acids.

Storage Conditions

Store in a cool, well-ventilated area away from acids and oxidizing agents. Keep containers tightly sealed as many amines are hygroscopic. Store at recommended temperature in a well-sealed container. Protect from moisture and strong bases. Store at room temperature in a tightly sealed container. Protect from moisture and strong bases.
