2-Amino-5-chlorophenol Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

light brown fine crystalline powder

Uses

2-Amino-5-chlorophenol may be used to synthesize 2-amino-5-chloromuconic semialdehyde and benzoxazole derivatives.

Definition

ChEBI: Phenol carrying amino and chloro substituents at positions 2 and 5 respectively. It is part of the degradation pathway of 4-chloronitrobenzene, CHEBI:34399.

General Description

2-Amino-5-chlorophenol can be synthesized from 2-chloro-5-nitrophenol via reduction. It can also be obtained from 1-chloro-4-nitrobenzene by using a bacterial strain LW1. 2-Amino-5-chlorophenol participates in the condensation reaction with acetylferrocene to afford ferrocenyl Schiff bases bearing a phenol group.
