DL-Tropic Acid(CAS#552-63-6)

Introduction

DL-tropine acid, also known as 2,3-dichloro-4-phenylacetic acid, is an organic compound. The following is an introduction to its properties, uses, preparation methods and safety information: Properties: DL-tropine acid is a colorless crystal or white crystalline powder with a special aromatic odor. It is insoluble in water but soluble in most organic solvents such as ether, alcohol, and carbon disulfide. Uses: DL-tropine acid is mainly used for some important reactions in organic synthesis, such as the Grignard reaction of halogenated hydrocarbons, the activation and coupling reaction of aromatic compounds. It can also be used as an intermediate in coatings, dyes, and fluorescents. Preparation method: The preparation of DL-tropine acid is usually made by reacting phenylacetic acid with chlorine. During the reaction, chlorine gas is introduced into a solution of phenylacetic acid, and after proper treatment and purification, DL-troponic acid is obtained. Safety information: DL-tropine acid is an organic compound with certain toxicity. When operating, strict safety operating procedures should be observed, including wearing appropriate protective equipment and avoiding direct contact with the skin or inhalation of its dust. In case of accidental contact with this substance, rinse immediately with plenty of water and seek medical attention promptly.
