Description

4-Chlorocatechol is a chlorinated catechol derivative that has been studied for its potential biological and environmental effects. It has been shown to be a potent inhibitor of the enzyme catechol O-methyltransferase (COMT), which plays a role in the metabolism of catecholamines such as dopamine and norepinephrine. 4-chlorocatechol has also been investigated for its potential as a fungicide and as a component of pesticides. Its synthesis can be achieved through various methods, including the chlorination of catechol, the reaction of catechol with chlorine gas, or the oxidation of 4-chlorophenol. The compound has been studied for its potential to disrupt endocrine systems and may contribute to environmental pollution. '
