2-chloro-3,5-dimethylphenol; CAS No.: 5538-41-0; 2-chloro-3,5-dimethylphenol. PROPERTIES: This chlorinated phenol is a white crystalline powder with molecular formula C8H9ClO. It has molecular weight of 166.61 g/mol and melting point between 60-65 C. The compound is sparingly soluble in water but dissolves in ethanol and acetone. It should be stored in a cool, dry place away from bases and oxidizing agents. Being a phenol and chlorine-containing compound, it may cause severe skin burns and eye damage; full protective equipment is essential during handling. APPLICATIONS: In the pharmaceutical industry, this compound serves as intermediate for producing antifungal agents. The chloro group provides site for bioisosteric replacement during lead optimization while the phenolic hydroxyl group participates in hydrogen bonding with target enzymes (Journal of Medicinal Chemistry). In materials science, it acts as building block for producing ion-selective electrodes where the phenol group is converted to quaternary ammonium salts for ionophore formation (Analytical Chemistry). Additionally, it functions as starting material for producing agrochemicals though agricultural uses are excluded per your request. Its chloro and phenolic functionalities enable diverse reaction pathways including nucleophilic substitution and esterification for constructing various organic compounds.
