General Description

4-(trichloromethyl)benzoic acid, also known as trichloromethylbenzoic acid, is a chemical compound with the molecular formula C8H5Cl3O2. It is a white solid that is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. 4-(trichloromethyl)benzoic acid is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of other organic compounds, and it is also used as a herbicide. It works by inhibiting the growth of unwanted plants by disrupting their hormonal balance. It is important to handle this chemical with caution, as it can be harmful if swallowed, inhaled, or in contact with skin, and it may cause irritation to the respiratory system, skin, and eyes. Additionally, it may have adverse effects on aquatic organisms if released into the environment.
