General description

Methyl 2-chlorobenzoate, a methyl 2-halobenzoate,[1] is an ester. It can be synthesized from 2-chlorobenzoyl chloride.[2] Its reduction with NaBH4 in diglyme at 162°C affords 2-chlorobenzyl alcohol.[2]

Application

Methyl 2-chlorobenzoate may be used in the synthesis of various quinazolinone derivatives.[1] It was used as starting reagent in the synthesis of 2-chlorobenzohydrazide.[3]
