Sign in to saveAlso known as 2,4-DCP, 2,4-dichloro-phenol, 1,3-dichloro-4-hydroxybenzene, 2,4-dichlorophenic acid, 4,6-dichlorophenol, 2,4-dichlorophenate
2,4-Dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) is a chlorinated derivative of phenol with the molecular formula Cl2C6H3OH. It is a white solid that is mildly acidic (pKa = 7.9). It is produced on a large scale as a precursor to the herbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D).
