HazMat Fee

An item is classified as a dangerous good if our website displays Hazardous Material (HazMat) information for it. There is a HazMat shipping fee for each item that qualifies as a dangerous good, except in the following scenarios:

The shipment is processed through FedEx Ground under the Limited Quantity option.

Each bottle is packed as an Excepted Quantity, with a maximum of 1g for items in class 6.1 packing group I or II, and up to 25g for all other hazardous materials.

If shipping is charged to your FedEx account, the HazMat fee will be billed directly by the courier. Otherwise, the fee will be included on your invoice. To help you avoid the HazMat fee, we can package a 5g order of a class 6.1 packing group I or II material as five separate 1g units, and a 100g order of any other dangerous good as four 25g units. This packaging adjustment will be made unless you instruct otherwise on your purchase order. Below, you will find the fee schedule from FedEx for handling hazardous materials.

Description

2-Chloro-5-methylbenzoic acid features a strategically positioned chloro group and methyl substituent on the aromatic ring, enabling selective functionalization in medicinal chemistry. This electron-deficient scaffold integrates readily into bioactive molecules, offering enhanced metabolic stability and controlled lipophilicity for drug discovery applications.

Application

2-Chloro-5-methylbenzoic acid serves as a versatile building block in medicinal chemistry and agrochemical synthesis, enabling direct functionalization at the aromatic ring through palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling reactions. Its ortho-chloro substituent facilitates selective derivatization, while the carboxylic acid group supports straightforward amide, ester, and acyl chloride transformations. The methyl group provides a site for oxidation or further substitution, enhancing structural diversity. Bench-stable and readily purified by recrystallization, it functions efficiently in standard synthetic workflows requiring moderate reactivity and high functional group compatibility.
