Phenol(Cat No.: R023221), also known as carbolic acid, is an aromatic organic compound with the chemical formula C₆H₅OH. It consists of a hydroxyl group (-OH) bonded directly to a benzene ring. Phenol is a white crystalline solid at room temperature and has a distinct, sweet, and tar-like odor. It is widely used in the production of plastics, resins (such as Bakelite), pharmaceuticals, and disinfectants. Phenol exhibits antiseptic properties but is corrosive and toxic in high concentrations, requiring careful handling in industrial and laboratory settings.
