3,5-Dichloroanisole, is a chlorinated anisole derivative, possessing possible antibacterial activity. It is also an organic building block that can be used for the synthesis of chlorinated chemical compounds, such as polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDD/F).
3,5-Dichloroanisole on nitration under mild conditions yields 3,5-dichloro-2,4,6-trinitroanisole. The 35Cl Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance (NQR) frequency and spin lattice relaxation time in 3,5-dichloroanisole has been measured.
