Definition
ChEBI: An aryl sulfide having two 5-chloro-2-hydroxyphenyl groups attached to sulfur; an antiinfective drug mostly used in veterinary medicine.
Manufacturing Process
1 mol bis(2-hydroxy-phenyl)-sulfide, prepared from sulfuryl chloride and phenol, in about 2500 ml glacial acetic acid was dissolved and heated for
boiling. 2-3 mol gaseous chlorine was passed through that solution and on
cooling bis(2-oxy-5-chlorphenyl)sulfide was fallen. It was recrystallized from
acetic acid or light petroleum. MP: 175°C. A residue was dropped from filtrate
with water as the white crystals, which melted at the same temperature.
Fenticlor may be also prepared by adding sulfuryl chloride to the solution of
bis(2-hydroxy-phenyl)sulfide in dichlorobenzene
Therapeutic Function
Antifungal
