Hazard Information | Back Directory | [General Description]
Dark red flakes with waxy texture. Insoluble in water. | [Reactivity Profile]
P-CHLORO-O-CRESOL(1570-64-5) can react vigorously with concentrated sodium hydroxide solutions. Also reacts with other bases, acid chlorides, acid anhydrides, and oxidizing agents. Corrodes steel, brass, copper and copper alloys [NTP, 1992)]. A large quantity left in contact with concentrated sodium hydroxide solution for 3 days reacted violently, attaining red heat and evolving fumes that ignited explosively. The heat of reaction dissipated poorly because of the high viscosity of the mixture [Quart. Safety Summ., 1957, 28, 39]. | [Air & Water Reactions]

Off-white to slightly brownish crystalline solid | [Uses]
4-Chloro-2-methylphenol is a transformation/degredation product of herbicides found in the environment through landfills and runoff. | [Application]
4-Chloro-2-methylphenol is an important pharmaceutical intermediate ingredient used in the manufacture of herbicides (Mecoprop, MCPA, and MCPB), as an additive tracer for resist plasma etching. It is used as a closed system intermediate in the production of phenoxy herbicides. It is also used as a disinfectant or bactericide. | [Definition]
ChEBI: A member of the class of phenols that is o-cresol in which the hydrogen para to the hydroxy group is replaced by a chlorine. | [Synthesis Reference(s)]
