2,6-Dichlorophenol is a compound with formula C6H3Cl2OH. It is one of the six isomers of dichlorophenol. It is a colorless solid. Its pKa is 6.78, which is about 100x more acidic than 2-chlorophenol (8.52) and 1000x more acidic than phenol itself (9.95).
==Preparation== It can be produced in a multistep process from phenol, which is converted to its 4-sulfonic acid derivative. The resulting phenol sulfonic acid chlorinates at the positions flanking the phenol. Hydrolysis releases the sulfonic acid group.
