Autoignition=2,4-Dichlorophenol (2,4-DCP) is a chlorinated derivative of
phenol with the molecular formula C6H4Cl2O. 2,4-DCP is used primarily as intermediate in the preparation of theherbicide 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D). Annual worldwide production is estimated at 88 million pounds. [Desmurs J, Ratton S. Chlorophenols. In: "Kirk-Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology", 4th Edition. Kroschwitz JI, Howe-Grant M, eds. New York: John Wiley and Sons, 1993;6:156-168]2,4-DCP is readily absorbed through the skin and contact with large amounts may be fatal.
