Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

All isomers have a characteristic odor.

Chemical Properties

White to light yellow crystal.

Uses

3-Chlorophenol is generally used in building various polycyclic aromatic systems. It is also employed in palladium-catalyzed coupling reactions to synthesize aryl intermediates in synthetic organic chemistry.

Uses

3-Chlorophenol is a halophenol with antifungal activity. 3-Chlorophenol is commonly used as a building block in the preparation of variety of biologically active compounds. Studies suggest that 3-Chlo rophenol can be used in the regeneration of vegetal activated carbons.

Uses

3-Chlorophenol is widely used in the pharmaceutical, dyes and organic synthesis industry. It is an important intermediate in the synthesis of chemicals.

Definition

ChEBI: 3-chlorophenol is a monochlorophenol carrying the chloro substituent at position 3.

General Description

White crystals with an odor of phenol. Sinks in and slowly dissolves in water.

Air & Water Reactions

Discolors on exposure to air. Water soluble

Reactivity Profile

3-Chlorophenol is incompatible with acid chlorides, acid anhydrides and oxidizing agents .

Hazard

Toxic by skin absorption, inhalation, or ingestion.

Fire Hazard

3-Chlorophenol is probably combustible.

Safety Profile

Poison by intraperitoneal route. Moderately toxic by ingestion and subcutaneous routes. Questionable carcinogen with experimental tumorigenic data by skin contact. Mutation data reported. Flammable or combustible liquid. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of Cl-. See also CHLOROPHENOLS.

Potential Exposure

Monochlorophenols are used in the manufacture of fungicides, slimicides, bactericides, pesticides, herbicides, disinfectants, wood and glue preservatives; in the production of phenolic resins; in the extraction of certain minerals from coal; as a denaturant for ethanol; as an antiseptic; as a disinfectant, and others.

Shipping

UN 2020 (solid); UN2021 (liquid) Chlorophenols, solid and liquid, Hazard Class: 6.1; Labels: 6.1-Poisonous materials.

Purification Methods

It could not be obtained solid by crystallisation from pet ether. It is best purified by distillation under reduced pressure. [Beilstein 6 IV 810.]

Incompatibilities

May form explosive mixture with air. Contact with oxidizing agents can cause fire and explosion hazard. Heat produces hydrogen chloride and chlorine. Corrosive to aluminum, copper and other chemically active metals.

Waste Disposal

Incinerate in admixture with flammable solvent in furnace equipped with afterburner and scrubber.
