4-Bromo-3-chlorophenol CAS 13631-21-5

1. 4-Bromo-3-chlorophenol is primarily used as a key intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and dyes.
2. 4-Bromo-3-chlorophenol CAS 13631-21-5 serves as a building block for more complex molecules, including polymers and specialty chemicals.
3. This compound is also utilized in research and development for the preparation of halogenated phenolic derivatives.

1. Store 4-bromo-3-chlorophenol in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, away from heat, ignition sources, and incompatible materials such as strong oxidizers and bases.
2. Keep 4-Bromo-3-chlorophenol CAS 13631-21-5 the container tightly closed and protected from light to minimize decomposition.
3. Handle with appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, and a lab coat, preferably in a fume hood to avoid inhalation and skin contact.

1. Isolate the spill area, ensure ventilation, and wear suitable protective equipment (gloves, goggles, protective clothing, and a respirator if dust or vapor is present).
2. For 4-Bromo-3-chlorophenol CAS 13631-21-5 solid spills, carefully collect the material with a clean, non-sparking tool. For liquid/melted spills, absorb with an inert material (e.g., sand, vermiculite). Place all contaminated material in a sealed hazardous waste container.
3. Prevent the compound from entering drains, sewers, or the environment. Decontaminate surfaces with a suitable detergent and water, collecting washings for proper disposal.

1. 4-Bromo-3-chlorophenol is harmful if swallowed, inhaled, or in contact with skin. It causes severe skin burns and eye damage and may cause respiratory irritation.
2. 4-Bromo-3-chlorophenol CAS 13631-21-5 is combustible and may emit toxic fumes (hydrogen chloride, hydrogen bromide, carbon monoxide) when heated.
3. Always consult the official 4-bromo-3-chlorophenol Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for comprehensive hazard, handling, and regulatory information.
