DL-4-Chlorophenylglycine (CAS 6212-33-5) is primarily used as a crucial intermediate in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and agrochemical industries. Its applications include the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals, such as side chains for semi-synthetic penicillins and cephalosporins (e.g., Cefaclor), and as a precursor in the production of certain pesticides and plant protection agents. The racemic nature of DL-4-Chlorophenylglycine makes it suitable for applications where a specific chirality is not initially required or where subsequent chiral resolution or stereoselective synthesis steps are planned.
