Phenols
Phenols are a class of chemical compounds characterized by a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to an aromatic benzene ring. These compounds can vary widely in their chemical structures and properties based on the specific arrangement and substituents attached to the benzene ring. Phenols are notable for their acidic nature, as the hydroxyl group allows them to donate a hydrogen ion (proton), making them weak acids compared to carboxylic acids. They are found naturally in plants and are often involved in defense mechanisms against pathogens and herbivores. Phenols are widely used in industry as starting materials for the production of plastics, dyes, antioxidants, and pharmaceuticals.
