Contact SupplierMonochlorophenol (MCP) refers to a group of chemical compounds that are derived from phenol (C₆H₅OH) by replacing one hydrogen atom in the aromatic ring with a chlorine atom. The exact compound you 're referring to could be one of three isomers, each with slightly different properties due to the position of the chlorine atom on the phenol ring. Common Isomers of Monochlorophenol: 2-Chlorophenol (o-Chlorophenol): Chemical Formula: C₆H₅ClO Structure: The chlorine atom is attached to the carbon atom adjacent to the hydroxyl group (-OH). Appearance: Colorless to pale yellow liquid with a phenolic odor. Melting Point: 8.7°C (47.7°F) Boiling Point: 174°C (345°F) Solubility: Slightly soluble in water, but more soluble in organic solvents. Uses: Used as an intermediate in the production of pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and other chemicals. 3-Chlorophenol (m-Chlorophenol): Chemical Formula: C₆H₅ClO Structure: The chlorine atom is attached to the carbon atom meta to the hydroxyl group. Appearance: Colorless to pale yellow solid with a strong phenolic odor. Melting Point: 32°C (89.6°F) Boiling Point: 214°C (417°F) Solubility: Slightly soluble in water, more soluble in organic solvents. Uses: Employed in the synthesis of dyes, drugs, and pesticides.
