Phenol

Description:
Phenol, with the CAS number 108-95-2, is an aromatic organic compound characterized by a hydroxyl group (-OH) bonded to a benzene ring. It appears as a colorless to light pink crystalline solid or a viscous liquid with a distinct sweet, tar-like odor. Phenol is soluble in water, alcohol, and ether, and it exhibits both acidic and basic properties, making it a weak acid. Its molecular formula is C6H6O, and it has a relatively low boiling point compared to many other organic compounds. Phenol is used extensively in the production of plastics, resins, and pharmaceuticals, and it serves as a precursor for various chemical syntheses. However, it is also toxic and can cause skin irritation and other health issues upon exposure. Due to its reactivity, phenol can undergo electrophilic substitution reactions, making it a valuable compound in organic synthesis. Safety precautions are essential when handling phenol due to its corrosive nature and potential environmental impact.
