4-Chlorophenol(CAT: R017798) is a chlorinated aromatic compound with the molecular formula C₆H₅ClO. It consists of a phenol ring substituted with a chlorine atom at the para (4-) position, resulting in a white to light pink crystalline solid with a strong medicinal odor. Known for its antiseptic and disinfectant properties, 4-Chlorophenol is widely used as an intermediate in the manufacture of herbicides, dyes, pharmaceuticals, and other fine chemicals. Its hydroxyl and chloro groups make it reactive in electrophilic substitution and oxidative coupling reactions. It is soluble in organic solvents and slightly soluble in water, suitable for laboratory and industrial synthesis applications.
