Uses and applications

What the substance is used for, by industry and function

Research chemical.

How it is made

Hydrolysis of chlorobenzenes can be carried out in alkaline aqueous media, with or without the presence of copper salts. It can be done in the vapor phase at 250-400 °C on phosphates or on silica at 500-550 °C. Hydrolysis is most frequently carried out in the presence of methanolic sodium or potassium at 150-200 °C and 1.0-3.0 MPa. (Mono-, Di-, and Trichlorophenols with Chlorine in a Meta Position)

Sulfonation of chlorobenzenes followed by the desulfonation of chlorobenzenesulfonic acids can be used to produce numerous chlorophenols.

The chlorobenzenes are sulfonated by using 15 - 20% oleum at 60 - 80 °C. The subsequent desulfonation is usually carried out by using 15 - 25% aqueous sodium hydroxide solution at 180 - 220 °C and 1.5 - 3.0 MPa. (Mono-, Di-, and Trichlorophenols with Chlorine in a Meta Position)

Sandmeyer Reaction. m-Chlorophenols can also be made by diazotization of the corresponding chloroanilines that have been obtained either by nitration of chlorobenzenes followed by hydrogenation or by chlorination of nitrobenzenes. (m-Chlorophenols)
