3-Ethylphenol is an organic compound with the formula C2H5C6H4OH. It is one of three isomeric ethylphenols. A colorless liquid, it occurs as an impurity in xylenols and as such is used in the production of commercial phenolic resins. [1]
3-Ethylphenol is found in urine samples of female elephants. [2]
It is used as a photographic chemical intermediate and an intermediate for the cyan coupler of photographic paper. [3] It's a tsetse fly attractant. Therefore, it's a kairomone. [4]
