2-Chloro-5-methoxyphenol, with the CAS number 18113-04-7, is an organic compound characterized by a phenolic structure that includes both a chlorine atom and a methoxy group. This compound features a chlorine substituent at the second position and a methoxy group at the fifth position of the benzene ring. It is typically a white to off-white solid at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents, while its solubility in water is limited. The presence of the chlorine atom contributes to its reactivity, making it useful in various chemical syntheses and applications, including as an intermediate in the production of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The methoxy group enhances its lipophilicity, influencing its biological activity and interaction with other chemical species. Additionally, 2-Chloro-5-methoxyphenol may exhibit antimicrobial properties, making it of interest in the development of antiseptics or preservatives. As with many chlorinated compounds, safety precautions should be taken when handling it due to potential toxicity and environmental concerns.
