HazMat Fee

An item is classified as a dangerous good if our website displays Hazardous Material (HazMat) information for it. There is a HazMat shipping fee for each item that qualifies as a dangerous good, except in the following scenarios:

The shipment is processed through FedEx Ground under the Limited Quantity option.

Each bottle is packed as an Excepted Quantity, with a maximum of 1g for items in class 6.1 packing group I or II, and up to 25g for all other hazardous materials.

If shipping is charged to your FedEx account, the HazMat fee will be billed directly by the courier. Otherwise, the fee will be included on your invoice. To help you avoid the HazMat fee, we can package a 5g order of a class 6.1 packing group I or II material as five separate 1g units, and a 100g order of any other dangerous good as four 25g units. This packaging adjustment will be made unless you instruct otherwise on your purchase order. Below, you will find the fee schedule from FedEx for handling hazardous materials.

Description

3-Chloro-2-methylphenol is a chlorinated cresol derivative featuring a methyl group ortho to the hydroxyl function. This structural arrangement imparts enhanced reactivity in electrophilic substitution and improved solubility in organic media compared to unsubstituted phenols. The compound serves as a key intermediate in agrochemical synthesis and specialty polymer formulations.

Application

3-Chloro-2-methylphenol serves as a versatile building block in medicinal chemistry and agrochemical synthesis, enabling regioselective functionalization via its ortho-methyl and meta-chloro substituents. The phenolic hydroxyl group facilitates direct coupling reactions and derivatization, while the chloro and methyl groups provide orthogonal handles for cross-coupling, electrophilic substitution, and further functionalization. Bench-stable and amenable to purification by distillation or recrystallization, it functions reliably in standard synthetic workflows.
