| CHLORO-PHENOL COMPOUNDS | ||
| Chlorinated phenol compounds are toxic, colourless, weakly acidic, one or more of the chlorine atoms attached to the benzene ring of phenol. All chlorophenols are solids but only 2-chlorophenol is a liquid. The most general property toxicity is useful. They and compounds made from them are used as a bactericide and fungicide and preservative. 4-Chlorophenol a starting material for making germicides such as 2-Benzyl-4-chlorophenol; it can also be converted to an analgesic of acetophenetidin. 2,4-Dichlorophenol and formaldehyde form methylenebis compounds used as a mothproofing agent, an antiseptic, and a seed disinfectant; 2,4-dichlorophenol, with chloroacetic acid, forms 2,4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D), used as a selective weed-killer, systemic herbicide and defoliant, also used to increase the latex output of old rubber trees and in fruit drop control. trichlorophenols. 2,4,6-Trichlorophenol is used as a bactericide and fungicide. The 2,4,5-isomer has similar applications and also can be converted into Hexachlorophene or Thiobis(trichlorophenol) used as germicides in soap. and into Dimethyl trichlorophenyl phosphorothioate, a systemic agent effective against grubs in cattle; and into 2,4,5-Trichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4,5-T) or 2,4,5-Trichlorophenoxypropionic acid (2,4,5-TCPPA), both widely used as weed killers. Tetrachlorophenol is an insecticide and a bactericide and is used as a preservative for latex, wood, and leather. | ||
