CAS 108-43-0

:

Phenol, 3-chloro-

Description:
3-Chlorophenol, with the CAS number 108-43-0, is an aromatic organic compound characterized by the presence of a chlorine atom and a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to a benzene ring. It appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid with a distinctive, somewhat sweet odor. This compound is known for its moderate solubility in water and higher solubility in organic solvents, which is typical for chlorinated phenols. 3-Chlorophenol exhibits properties such as being a weak acid, with the ability to form salts and esters. It is primarily used in the production of various chemicals, including pesticides, herbicides, and antiseptics. Additionally, it serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of dyes and pharmaceuticals. Due to its potential toxicity and environmental impact, 3-chlorophenol is subject to regulatory scrutiny, and safety precautions are necessary when handling it, as it can cause skin and respiratory irritation. Its chemical behavior is influenced by the electron-withdrawing nature of the chlorine substituent, which affects its reactivity and interaction with other chemical species.
