Chemical Structure

Key Applications

• Intermediate for higher chlorinated phenols: 2-Chlorophenol is used as a starting point in the sequential chlorination of phenol to di- and polychlorophenols.

• Dye and colorant synthesis: It is employed in the manufacture of selected azo dyes and related aromatic dye intermediates.

• Agrochemical intermediate: The compound is used in the synthesis of pesticides such as profenofos and other crop-protection intermediates.

• Fine-chemical and pharmaceutical routes: It serves as a precursor to catechol and other substituted aromatics used in specialty and pharmaceutical synthesis.

• Formulation and specialty uses: Limited applications include phenolic disinfectant compositions, phenolic resin comonomers, and extraction of sulfur or nitrogen compounds from coal-derived streams.
