Dichlorophenols (DCPs) are any of several chemical compounds which are derivatives of phenol containing two chlorine atoms. There are six isomers:

  • 2,3-Dichlorophenol
  • 2,4-Dichlorophenol
  • 2,5-Dichlorophenol
  • 2,6-Dichlorophenol
  • 3,4-Dichlorophenol
  • 3,5-Dichlorophenol
  • Dichlorophenols are used as intermediates in the manufacture of more complex chemical compounds, including the common herbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D).
