    The formula of 2-Chloropropionic acid is CH3CHClCO2H. It is produced by chlorination of propionyl chloride followed by hydrolysis of the 2-chloropropionyl chloride. It should be handled with care because 2-Chloropropionic acid is a neurotoxin.

    2-Chloropropionyl chloride reacts with isobutylbenzene to give ibuprofen after hydrolysis.
