  2. Phenyl group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenyl_group

    In organic chemistry, the phenyl group, or phenyl ring, is a cyclic group of atoms with the formula C6H5, and is often represented by the symbol Ph (archaically φ) or Ø. The phenyl group is closely related to benzene and can be viewed as a benzene ring, minus a hydrogen, which may be replaced by some other element or compound to serve as a ...

  3. Phenols - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenols

    The acidity of the hydroxyl group in phenols is commonly intermediate between that of aliphatic alcohols and carboxylic acids (their pK a is usually between 10 and 12). Deprotonation of a phenol forms a corresponding negative phenolate ion or phenoxide ion, and the corresponding salts are called phenolates or phenoxides (aryloxides according to ...

  4. Phenol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenol

    Phenol (also known as carbolic acid, phenolic acid, or benzenol) is an aromatic organic compound with the molecular formula C 6 H 5 OH. [5] It is a white crystalline solid that is volatile. The molecule consists of a phenyl group (−C 6 H 5) bonded to a hydroxy group (−OH). Mildly acidic, it requires careful handling because it can cause ...

  5. Nonylphenol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonylphenol

    The nonyl group can be attached to the phenol ring at various locations, usually the 4- and, to lesser extent, the 2-positions, and can be either branched or linear. A branched nonylphenol, 4-nonylphenol, is the most widely produced and marketed nonylphenol. [ 12 ]

  6. Aryl group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aryl_group

    Note that a phenyl group is not the same as a benzyl group, the latter consisting of a phenyl group attached to a methyl group and a molecular formula of C 6 H 5 CH 2 −. [2] Phenol (or hydroxybenzene) To name compounds containing phenyl groups, the phenyl group can be taken to be the parent hydrocarbon and be represented by the suffix ...

  7. Cresol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cresol

    In its chemical structure, a molecule of cresol has a methyl group substituted onto the ring of phenol. There are three forms of cresol: ortho-cresol (o-cresol), meta-cresol (m-cresol), and para-cresol (p-cresol).

  8. Phenol ether - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenol_ether

    In chemistry, a phenol ether (or aromatic ether) is an organic compound derived from phenol (C 6 H 5 OH), where the hydroxyl (-OH) group is substituted with an alkoxy (-OR) group. Usually phenol ethers are synthesized through the condensation of phenol and an organic alcohol ; however, other known reactions regarding the synthesis of ethers can ...

  9. Thiophenol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thiophenol

    Thiophenol is an organosulfur compound with the formula C 6 H 5 SH, sometimes abbreviated as PhSH. This foul-smelling colorless liquid is the simplest aromatic thiol.The chemical structures of thiophenol and its derivatives are analogous to phenols, where the oxygen atom in the hydroxyl group (-OH) bonded to the aromatic ring in phenol is replaced by a sulfur atom.
