2-Chloro-m-cresol
2-Chloro-''m''-cresol is a chlorinated cresol. The compound is difficult to synthesise as chlorination of ''m''-cresol yields the ''para''-product (4-chloro-3-methylphenol). Historically synthesis has been achieved via a para-selective nitration, followed by conversion to a diazonium compound and a Sandmeyer reaction to insert the chlorine into the 2-position. Related compounds * 4-Chloro-3-methylphenol ''p''-Chlorocresol, or 4-chloro-3-methylphenol (ClC6H3CH3OH), also known as p-chloro-m-cresol, is a potent disinfectant and antiseptic. It appears as a pinkish white crystalline solid. It is also used as a preservative in cosmetics and medicina ...
