3-Chlorophenol is an organic compound with the molecular formula C6H4ClOH.
It is one of three isomers of monochlorophenol.
It is a colorless or white solid that melts easily and exhibits significant solubility in water.
Together with 3,5-dichlorophenol, it is prepared industrially by dechlorination of polychlorophenols.
Alternatively, it arises via the cumene process, which starts with the alkylation of chlorobenzene with propylene.
