Toxic by skin absorption, inhalation, or
ingestion. Strong irritant to tissue. | [Health Hazard]
Poisonous; may be fatal if inhaled, swallowed or absorbed through skin. Irritating to skin and eyes; direct contact may cause burns. Rats receiving lethal doses via oral, subcutaneous or intraperitoneal routes displayed similar symptoms: restlessness, increased breathing rate and motor weakness followed by tremors, chronic convulsions, dyspnea, coma and death. | [Potential Exposure]
Monochlorophenols are used in the
manufacture of fungicides, slimicides, bactericides, pesticides, herbicides, disinfectants, wood and glue preservatives; in the production of phenolic resins; in the extraction
of certain minerals from coal; as a denaturant for ethanol;
as an antiseptic; as a disinfectant, and others. | [First aid]
If this chemical gets into the eyes, remove any
contact lenses at once and irrigate immediately for at least
15 minutes, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids. Seek
medical attention immediately. If this chemical contacts
the skin, remove contaminated clothing and wash immediately with soap and water. Seek medical attention immediately. If this chemical has been inhaled, remove from
exposure, begin rescue breathing (using universal precautions, including resuscitation mask) if breathing has
stopped and CPR if heart action has stopped. Transfer
promptly to a medical facility. When this chemical has
been swallowed, get medical attention. Give large quantities of water and induce vomiting. Do not make an unconscious person vomit. | [Shipping]

2-Chlorophenol is a colourless to light brown liquid, All isomers have a characteristic odor. It is used to make dyes and other chemicals, and as a disinfectant, bactericide, and germicide. | [Waste Disposal]

Pale amber liquid with a slight phenolic, floral, or musty-type odor. At 40 °C, the average and
lowest odor concentrations detected were 0.36 and 0.088 μg/L, respectively. At 25 °C, the average
taste threshold concentration and the lowest concentration at which a taste was detected were 0.97
and 0.94 μg/L, respectively (Young et al., 1996). | [Application]
2-chlorophenol is used in medicine, pesticides, dyes and organic synthesis. It is an intermediate in the production of the pesticides Profenofos and Isoprocarb. It is also utilized in the manufacture of dye-stulfs and in the process for extracting sulphur and nitrogen compounds from coal. 2-chlorophenol functions as a reagent in the preparation of chlorophenyl phosphorodichloridothioate as potential synthon for oligonucleotide phosphorothioates. | [Definition]
ChEBI: 2-chlorophenol is a monochlorophenol and a 2-halophenol. | [Preparation]
0.5 mole of tert-butyl hypochlorite is dropped, with stirring, into a solution or suspension of the 0.5 mole of phenol in 150-300 ml of carbon tetrachloride, the temperature being allowed to rise to the boiling point of the solvent. The mixture is then boiled under reflux for a further 2 hours, the carbon tetrachloride and the tert-butyl alcohol are distilled off, and the residue is fractionated collecting fraction boiling at 174.9 °C.

Color Code—Blue: Health Hazard/Poison: Storein a secure poison location. Prior to working with chlorophenols you should be trained on its proper handling andstorage. Before entering confined space where chlorophenols may be present, check to make sure that an explosiveconcentration does not exist. Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, well-ventilated area. Metal containers involving the transfer of this chemical should be grounded andbonded. Where possible, automatically pump liquid fromdrums or other storage containers to process containers.Drums must be equipped with self-closing valves, pressurevacuum bungs, and flame arresters. Use only nonsparkingtools and equipment, especially when opening and closingcontainers of this chemical. Sources of ignition, such assmoking and open flames, are prohibited where this chemical is used, handled, or stored in a manner that could createa potential fire or explosion hazard. A regulated, markedarea should be established where this chemical is handled,used, or stored in compliance with OSHA Standard1910.1045. | [Purification Methods]
Pass 2-chlorophenol at least twice through a gas chromatography column. It has also been purified by fractional distillation. [Beilstein 6 IV 782.] | [Toxics Screening Level]
The current initial threshold screening level (ITSL) for 2-chlorophenol is 18 μg/m3 based on a 24 hour averaging time. |
