General description

4-Chloro-3-methylphenol, also known as p-chlorocresol or chloroxylenol, is commonly used as a building block in the synthesis of organic compounds. [1] It can be utilized to synthesize various biologically active compounds, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals.[2] (2) Additionally, it serves as a potent disinfectant and antiseptic and is also used as a preservative in medicinal products.[3]

Application

  • Compression of mono-4 chloro, 3-methylphenyl phosphate ester and di-4 chloro, 3-methylphenyl phosphate ester through kinetic study: This study discusses a method using 4-chloro-3-methylphenol and POCl3 taken in a 2:1 ratio, exploring their kinetic behaviors (AR Teli, AA Khan, SH Dar, A Rashid, 2017).
  • Commercially Important Chlorinated Phenols: Reviews the usage of 4-chloro-3-methylphenol among other chlorinated phenols in various industrial applications (K Smith, G El-Hiti).

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  

  1. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer

    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf

  2. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer

    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
