Fenticlor (also spelled fentichlor) is an antibacterial and antifungal agent for topical use. It is an antimicrobial agent. It is also used in veterinary medicine.
Synthesis
[edit]It is prepared by the AlCl3-catalyzed reaction of 4-chlorophenol with sulfur dichloride.[1] It can also be prepared by chlorination of bis[2-hydroxyphenyl]sulfide.[2][3]
