  2. 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 ).

  3. 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 ...

  4. Naturally occurring phenols - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naturally_occurring_phenols

    Simple natural phenols can lead to the formation of B type proanthocyanidins in wines [17] or in model solutions. [18] [19] This is correlated to the non-enzymatic browning color change characteristic of this process. [20] This phenomenon can be observed in foods like carrot purees. [21]

  5. Solvent - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solvent

    When one substance dissolves into another, a solution is formed. A solution is a homogeneous mixture consisting of a solute dissolved into a solvent. The solute is the substance that is being dissolved, while the solvent is the dissolving medium. Solutions can be formed with many different types and forms of solutes and solvents.

  6. Alcohol (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_(chemistry)

    The suffix -ol in non-IUPAC names (such as paracetamol or cholesterol) also typically indicates that the substance is an alcohol. However, some compounds that contain hydroxyl functional groups have trivial names that do not include the suffix -ol or the prefix hydroxy-, e.g. the sugars glucose and sucrose.

  7. Nonylphenol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonylphenol

    The mixture of nonylphenol isomers is a pale yellow liquid, although the pure compounds are colorless. The nonylphenols are moderately soluble in water [12] but soluble in alcohol. Nonylphenol arises from the environmental degradation of nonylphenol ethoxylates, which are the metabolites of commercial detergents called alkylphenol ethoxylates ...

  8. Miscibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miscibility

    Diesel fuel is immiscible in water.The bright rainbow pattern is the result of thin-film interference.. Miscibility (/ ˌ m ɪ s ɪ ˈ b ɪ l ɪ t i /) is the property of two substances to mix in all proportions (that is, to fully dissolve in each other at any concentration), forming a homogeneous mixture (a solution).

  9. Thymol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thymol

    Thymol (also known as 2-isopropyl-5-methylphenol, IPMP), C 10 H 14 O, is a natural monoterpenoid phenol derivative of p-Cymene, isomeric with carvacrol.It occurs naturally in the oil of thyme, and it is extracted from Thymus vulgaris (common thyme), ajwain, [4] and various other plants as a white crystalline substance of a pleasant aromatic odor and strong antiseptic properties.
