|  |  | 2,3-Dichlorobenzoic acid Usage And Synthesis | 
 | Chemical Properties | white to light yellow crystal powder |  | Uses | 2,3-Dichlorobenzoic acid is the key intermediate for antiepileptic drug Lamotrigine (L173250) and other pharmaceuticals for the treatment of central nervous system (CNS) disorders and disease. |  | Uses | 2,3-Dichlorobenzoic Acid (Lamotrigine USP Related Compound B) is the key intermediate for antiepileptic drug Lamotrigine (L173250) and other pharmaceuticals for the treatment of central nervous system (CNS) disorders and disease. |  | Definition | ChEBI: 2,3-dichlorobenzoic acid is a chlorobenzoic acid that is benzoic acid in which the ring hydrogens at positions 2 and 3 are substituted by chloro groups. It has a role as an impurity and a bacterial xenobiotic metabolite. It is a chlorobenzoic acid and a dichlorobenzene. It is functionally related to a benzoic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a 2,3-dichlorobenzoate. |  | General Description | 2,3-Dichlorobenzoic acid is an intermediate metabolite of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). |  | Purification Methods | Aromatic acid impurities (to <0.05%) can be removed via the (±)--methylbenzylamine salt as described for 2,4-dichlorobenzoic acid [Ley & Yates Organic Process Research & Development 12 120 2008.] Crystallise the acid from H2O, aqueous EtOH, or 30% aqueous AcOH and several times from *C6H6, then dry it in vacuo at 40o overnight. The methyl ester has m 35-39o . [Hope & Riley J Chem Soc 123 2478 1923, Lock Monatsh Chem 90 687 1959, Shorter & Mather J Chem Soc 4744 1961, Beilstein 9 II 228, 9 IV 998.] |
