Description

General description

2-Chloromandelic acid (2-ClMA) is a mandelic acid derivative. A report based on its solid state-NMR, X-ray powder diffraction (XPRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) data reveals that in solid state 2-ClMA exists as a racemic compound. The study also suggests that the crystals of racemic 2-ClMA belongs the monoclinic space group P21/c. The efficiency of (R)-(+)-N-benzyl-1-phenylethylamine in resolving racemate 2-ClMA has been investigated.
