CAS 4018-65-9: Chlorocatechol

Description: Chlorocatechol, also known as 3-chlorocatechol, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a chlorinated catechol structure. It features a benzene ring with two hydroxyl (-OH) groups and one chlorine atom substituent, typically positioned at the meta position relative to one of the hydroxyl groups. This compound is a colorless to pale yellow solid at room temperature and is soluble in water and organic solvents due to its polar hydroxyl groups. Chlorocatechol is known for its reactivity, particularly in electrophilic substitution reactions, and can participate in various chemical transformations, making it useful in organic synthesis and as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, it exhibits biological activity, which may include antimicrobial properties. Safety considerations should be taken into account when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled, and appropriate protective measures should be employed.
