says. It is used as a preservative. | [Definition]
ChEBI: A monochlorobenzoic acid carrying a chloro substituent at position 4. | [Preparation]
4-Chlorobenzoic acid is obtained by oxidation of p-chlorotoluene: add potassium permanganate solution to the mixture of p-chlorotoluene and water in stages. The reaction is refluxed under stirring for 5-6h, then acidified with hydrochloric acid to pH 2, filtered to obtain the crude product, and recrystallized with ethanol to obtain the finished product. | [Synthesis Reference(s)]
