Abstract

The racemate and enantiomers of 2-chloromandelic acid were characterized by SS-NMR, XRPD, and FTIR. The binary melting point phase diagram was constructed by DSC (differential scanning calorimetry). The solid-state nature of 2-chloromandelic acid was identified to be a racemic compound. The crystal structure of racemic compound was determined to be monoclinic P2(1)/c.
