ChEBI: 3,5-dichlorophenol is a dichlorophenol in which the two chloro substituents are located at positions 3 and 5.
3,5-Dichlorophenol is a metabolite of the pesticides polychlorinated phenols and benzene hexachloride. found in chlorinated waste water; Used as a research chemical.
Catalytic hydrodechlorination of polychlorophenols in organic or aqueous media with a palladium catalyst was used to obtain 3-chlorophenol and 3,5-dichlorophenol.
Prisms (from petroleum ether) or pink crystals.
3,5-Dichlorophenol is incompatible with acid chlorides, acid anhydrides and oxidizing agents.
