3-Chlorophenol

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.
