Phenols are widely used in household products and as intermediates for industrial synthesis. For example, phenol itself is used (in low concentrations) as adisinfectant in household cleaners and in mouthwash. Phenol may have been the first surgical antiseptic.
Phenol is an aromatic compound. The chemical formula of this organic compound is C6H6O.
It consists of a hydroxyl group and phenyl group attached to each other. It considerably dissolves in water. Earlier it was used as carbolic soap. It is mildly acidic and is corrosive to the respiratory tract, eyes, and skin.
Phenol is a crystalline solid white in color and needs to be handled with care as it can cause chemical burns. Friedlieb Ferdinand Runge discovered Phenol in the year 1834. It was extracted from coal tar. It is also known as phenolic acid. If a compound is consisting of a six-membered aromatic ring and bonded to a hydroxyl group directly, then it can be referred to as phenol.
Phenol is used as a starting material to make plastics, explosives such as picric acid, and drugs such as aspirin. The common phenol hydroquinone is the component of photographic developer that reduces exposed silver bromide crystals to black metallic silver. Other substituted phenols are used in the dye industry to make intensely coloured azo dyes. Mixtures of phenols (especially the cresols) are used as components in wood preservatives such as creosote.
