The phenols are an important area of investigation because they are substituents in the humic acids and are common contaminants in water. The reactivities and orientations of two common phenols (phenol and m-cresol), and some of their chlorinated intermediates with aqueous monochloroamine and dichloroamine were presented. m-Cresol was more reactive than phenol with both chlorinating agents. NH2Cl and NHCl2 showed extensive reactivity toward the phenols, even the partially chlorinated less reactive intermediates would be expected to fully chlorinate the activated positions in phenolic substituents in the humic acids.

The course of chlorination of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (I) in water and approximately 20percent sulfuric and hydrochloric acids has been investigated.In all these media the reaction gives primarily 2,4,6,6-tetrachloro-2,4-cyclohexadienone (II) which is subsequently chlorinated under formation of polychlorinated alicyclic ketones or isomerized to give the more stable 2,4,4,6-tetrachloro-2,5-cyclohexadienone (III), the precursor of further arising chlorinated 1,4-benzoquinones.The ratio of the arising polychlorinated alicyclic ketones to chlorinated 1,4-benzoquinones is significantly influenced by concentration of hydrogen chloride in the reaction medium.On the basis of model experiments, the reaction mechanism of exhaustive chlorination of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol has been suggested.
