A chemical consisting of a six-sided carbon ring with one attached -OH, or hydroxyl group. This structure is the building block of a large group of phenolic compounds (often referred to as simply "phenols") that occur frequently in plants, including barley. Phenols in beer come mostly from malt, and while they can add important character to a beer in small concentrations they can contribute bitterness and astringency in large amounts.
A group or molecule containing a benzene ring that has a hydroxyl group substituted for a ring hydrogen.
A highly toxic, corrosive chemical which is quite hazardous by all routes of exposure (James 1985). Formerly called carbolic acid, it is a potent disinfectant, which has been used for centuries but is increasingly being abandoned in favor of safer chemicals. It is frequently found in medications such as sore throat lozenges and gargles. Considered a priority water pollutant by EPA
Chemical compounds acquired by malt from peat during the kilning process. It is responsible for the peaty flavour of Islay whiskies in particular.
An organic compound that is an alcohol derivative of benzene.
A chemical used in very low concentrations as an after treatment drying agent. Also used as a disinfectant.
CAS Number: 108-95-2. A corrosive, poisonous, crystalline, acidic compound present in coal tar and wood tar. In dilute solution, it is used as a disinfectant. Chemical formula = C6H5OH. Molecular weight = 94.1 g/mol. Learn More...
An aromatic benzene ring with a hydroxyl substituted for one hydrogen.
Ingredient in glues, disinfectants., Highly toxic. Depressant to central nervous system. Can cause liver damage.
(carbolic acid) - Colorless crystals, which can be dissolved in water or some organic solvents. Liquids have sweetish, sickening odor and can burn skin and eyes. In aqueous solution, phenol is not highly volatile, but it is readily absorbed through the skin. Abnormal pigmentation commonly occurs following dermal contact with phenolic compounds. Vapors are strongly irritating to eyes, nose and throat. Exposure by inhalation to a low concentration of phenol six times for five minutes produced increased sensitivity to light. Uses: In detergents, disinfectants, deodorants, furniture polish, air fresheners, mold and mildew removers.
any of a class of weakly acidic organic compounds; molecule contains one or more hydroxyl groups
a toxic white soluble crystalline acidic derivative of benzene; used in manufacturing and as a disinfectant and antiseptic; poisonous if taken internally
a highly toxic agent to all bacteria under carefully standardized conditions
an alcohol whose R group is a phenyl group
an compound with a hexagonal alternately double bonds carbon ring with at least one hydroxyl group attached to a ring carbon
A toxic compound; used in solvents, resins, weed killers, and, in small amounts, in some sore throat sprays and topical cold sore treatments. Also called carbolic acid.
An organic substance in which a hydroxyl group is attached directly to a benzene ring. An example is vanillin.
A water-soluble, poisonous material, C6H5OH, obtained from coal tar, or a hydroxyl derivative of benzene.
A poisonous corrosive compound obtained by the distillation of coal tar that, in dilute solution, is an antimicrobial agent. Also called carbolic acid. A generic term for any compound similar in structure to phenol (an organic compound with one or more hydroxyl groups attached to an aromatic or carbon ring).
A Synfuels Plant byproduct that is a flammable, colorless, oily liquid used for the manufacture of adhesives such as plywood glue. Phenol resins are also used for laminates and molding compounds.
aromatic organic compounds in which one or more hydroxyl groups are attach to a benzene ring.
A poisonous and carcinogenic chemical often found in municipal water supplies. Also known as carbolic acid, phenol is a benzene derivative
a caustic, poisonous acidic compound present in coal tar and wood tar; a hydroxyl derivative of aromatic hydrocarbons.
Phenol is an aromatic alcohol mainly used as an intermediate in organic synthesis. It essentially serves as a raw material for the production of bisphenol A, phenolic resins, alkylphenols and caprolactam.
Phenol, also known as carbolic acid, is a poisonous white soluble crystalline acid made from benzene; it is used in manufacturing and as a strong disinfectant and antiseptic.
any hydroxyl derivative of a hydrocarbon.
Hydrocarbon derivative containing an [OH] group bound to an aromatic raing.
Phenol is a highly poisonous, caustic crystalline chemical compound derived from coal tar or plant tar or manufactured synthetically. It has a distinctive, pungent odor and, in solution, is a powerful disinfectant.
Also known as carbolic acid. It is a colorless crystalline solid with a typical sweet tarry odor.
Phenol, also known under an older name of carbolic acid, is a colourless crystalline solid with a typical sweet tarry odor. Its chemical formula is C6H5OH and its structure is that of a hydroxyl group (-OH) bonded to a phenyl ring; it is thus an aromatic compound.
