2,3-dichloro-1-propanol

2,3-Dichloro-1-propanol (2,3-DCP) is a halogenated alcohol with two chlorine atoms on the second and third carbons of a three-carbon chain. It is mainly used as an intermediate in the synthesis of epichlorohydrin, pharmaceuticals, and specialty chemicals, but it is also noted for its potential toxicity and as a contaminant in certain food processing contexts.
