  2. Phenols - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenols

    In organic chemistry, phenols, sometimes called phenolics, are a class of chemical compounds consisting of one or more hydroxyl groups (−O H) bonded directly to an aromatic hydrocarbon group. [1] The simplest is phenol, C 6 H 5 OH. Phenolic compounds are classified as simple phenols or polyphenols based on the number of phenol units in the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenol

    The word phenol is also used to refer to any compound that contains a six-membered aromatic ring, bonded directly to a hydroxyl group (-OH). Thus, phenols are a class of organic compounds of which the phenol discussed in this article is the simplest member.

  5. 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 ...

  6. Dihydroxybenzenes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dihydroxybenzenes

    In organic chemistry, dihydroxybenzenes (benzenediols) are organic compounds in which two hydroxyl groups (−OH) are substituted onto a benzene ring (C 6 H 6).These aromatic compounds are classed as phenols.

  7. Polyphenol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyphenol

    The name derives from the Ancient Greek word πολύς (polus, meaning "many, much") and the word ‘phenol’ which refers to a chemical structure formed by attachment of an aromatic benzenoid ring to a hydroxyl (-OH) group (hence the -ol suffix). The term "polyphenol" has been in use at least since 1894. [4]

  9. 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).
