The specification describes novel 2-(4'-halobenzyl) phenols of the formula: SPC1 In which R1, R2 and R3, which may be the same or different,re hydrogen or a lower alkyl group, provided that only one of R1 , R2 and R3 is hydrogen, or any two or R1, R2 and R3 form, together with the carbon atom to which they are attached, a cycloalkyl ring, particularly cyclohexyl, and the third substituent is hydrogen; R4 is hydrogen, halogen, a nitro group or a benzyl group, the latter, if desired, being substituted in the same manner as the benzyl group shown in the ortho position of the phenolic nucleus; R5 is hydrogen or a hydroxyl group; X is halogen, particularly chlorine or bromine, and Y is hydrogen or halogen, particularly chlorine or bromine, and a process for their preparation. These compounds have useful bacteriostatic activity.
