Metabolite Identification
Common NamePhenol
DescriptionPhenol, also known as hydroxybenzene or acide carbolique, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as 1-hydroxy-4-unsubstituted benzenoids. These are phenols that are unsubstituted at the 4-position. Phenol exists as a solid, possibly soluble (in water), and an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa) molecule. Phenol exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. Phenol is a potentially toxic compound.
