Product Information
Name:5-Chloro-3-methylcatechol
Brand:Biosynth
Description:5-Chloro-3-methylcatechol is a chemical that is produced as a byproduct during the chlorination of benzene. The conversion of 5-chloro-3,4-dihydroxybenzene to 5-chloro-3,4,5-trihydroxybenzene and 5,6-dichloroquinone is the first step in the production of this chemical. The second step involves the oxidation of 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzene to 3,4,5,-trihydroxyphenol by using oxygen or chlorine. This process produces 5-(chloromethyl)phenol as well as other products. The third step involves the decarboxylation of 5-(chloromethyl)phenol to produce methylcatechol. Methylcatechol can be dehydrogenated to catechol or oxidized to hydroquinone under different conditions.
