General Description

4-Chloro-3-methoxyphenol, also known as para-chloro-meta-cresol (PCMC), is a chemical compound belonging to the class of chlorophenols. It is a colorless to pale yellow crystalline solid with a slightly phenolic odor. It is widely used as an antiseptic and disinfectant in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and personal care products. PCMC is effective against a wide range of bacteria and fungi and is commonly used in products such as hand sanitizers, soaps, and surgical scrubs. However, it is important to note that PCMC is a toxic and potentially harmful chemical and should be used with caution and in accordance with safety guidelines.

A photochemical route to 2-substituted benzo[b]furans

2-Substituted benzo[b]furans were synthesized by a one-step metal-free photochemical reaction between 2-chlorophenol derivatives and terminal alkynes by tandem formation of an aryl-C and a C-O bond via an aryl cation intermediate. The mild conditions and the application to chlorophenols rather of the more expensive bromo or iodo analogues makes this procedure environmentally convenient.
