2-Chloro-5-nitrobenzoic Acid is used in the synthesis of sesquiterpenoids as potential antibacterial compounds. Also used in the synthesis of substituted phenyl oxazoles as novel LSD1 inhibitors with antiproliferative activity. In addition it’s used to synthesize cathespin L inhibitors.
2-Chloro-5-nitrobenzoic acid undergoes microwave-assisted, regioselective amination reaction with aliphatic and aromatic amines to yield N-substituted 5-nitroanthranilic acid derivatives. It acts as ligand and forms a red luminescent one dimensional coordination polymer with Eu(III).
