Case No 35421-08-0 4-Chloro Resorcinol About

4-Chloro resorcinol (also known as 4-chlorobenzene-1,3-diol or 4-chloro-1,3-dihydroxybenzene) is a chlorinated derivative of Resorcinol in which a chlorine atom is substituted at the fourth position of the benzene ring. It typically appears as a light-colored crystalline solid and is moderately soluble in water and organic solvents. Due to the presence of both hydroxyl groups and a chlorine substituent, it exhibits useful reactivity in organic synthesis. 4-Chloro resorcinol is widely used as an intermediate in the manufacture of dyes, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and specialty chemicals, and it also finds applications in hair dye formulations and certain resin systems because of its coupling and antioxidant properties.
