'''Chloropropanols''' are [chlorohydrin](/source/chlorohydrin)s related to [propanol](/source/propanol)s containing chloride functional group.  Eight isomers are possible. Two of these derivatives, [1,3-dichloropropanol](/source/1%2C3-dichloropropanol) (1,3-DCP) and [3-chloropropane-1,2-diol](/source/3-MCPD) (3-MCPD), are carcinogenic contaminants in processed foods.  Several isomers are encountered in industrial chemistry.

Monochloropropanols:
* [2-Chloro-1-propanol](/source/2-Chloro-1-propanol)
* [3-Chloro-1-propanol](/source/3-Chloro-1-propanol)
* [1-Chloro-2-propanol](/source/1-Chloro-2-propanol)

Dichloropropanols:
* [1,2-Dichloropropanol](/source/1%2C2-Dichloropropanol)
* [1,3-Dichloropropanol](/source/1%2C3-Dichloropropanol) (1,3-DCP)

Chloropropanediols:
* [3-Chloropropane-1,2-diol](/source/3-MCPD) (3-MCPD)
* [2-Chloropropane-1,3-diol](/source/2-MCPD) (2-MCPD)
