Preparation of 2,3-Dichlorophenol: it can be prepared by 1,2,3-trichlorobenzene. The 1,2,3-trichlorobenzene will become into salt by sulphonate. Then by means of high pressure hydrolysis, you can get 3,4-dichlorine-2-hydroxybenzenesulfonic acid. The sulfonateyl will be took off through sulfuric acid hydrolysis at last. In addition, it can be prepared by 2,3-dichloro-anisole. This reaction will need reagent sodium methoxide and solvent hexamethylphosphoric acid triamide. The yield is about 50% at reaction temperature of 50 °C.

Uses of 2,3-Dichlorophenol: it can be usd as intermediates to synthetize uric acid. In addition, it can react with thiophene-2-carbonyl chloride to get Thiophen-2-carbonsaeure-(2,3-dichlor)-phenylester. This reaction will need reagent pyridine and solvent tetrahydrofuran. The reaction time is one hour by heating. The yield is about 90%.
