Methyl 2,5-Dichlorobenzoate is used as a starting material in the preparations of polyphenylenes.
Methyl 2,5-dichlorobenzoate was used as starting reagent in the synthesis of poly(p-phenylene). It was used in isolation of microorganism degrading methyl benzoate, Burkholderia cepacia and its ability to degrade different methyl aromatic esters.
ChEBI: A methyl ester resulting from the formal condensation of the carboxy group of 2,5-dichlorobenzoic acid with methanol. It as used as a plant growth regulator and fungicide for grafting of grapevines.
