Common Name2-chloroacrylic acid
Description2-chloroacrylic acid is a chlorinated organic acid that belongs to the class of carboxylic acids. Its chemical structure features a double bond between the second and third carbon atoms, along with a chlorine atom attached to the second carbon, making it a derivative of acrylic acid. In biochemical pathways, 2-chloroacrylic acid is formed through the oxidation of 2-chloroacrolein, which itself is generated from the oxidation of 2,6-dichlorophenolindophenol (DCP) in the presence of potassium ferricyanide (K(3)Fe(CN)(6)) (PMID:22752160 ). Further oxidation processes lead to the production of 2-chloroacrylic acid (PMID:8434917 ). This compound is also noted for its presence in metabolic pathways, as it can be excreted in urine, indicating its role in the body’s metabolic processes (PMID:2894957 ). The study of 2-chloroacrylic acid contributes to our understanding of chlorinated organic compounds and their transformations in biological systems.
