YT2095 Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 this confuses me... benzene with a hydroxyl is phenol, Fine. phenol with 1 or more hydroxyls goes back to being called Benzene again? ie/ why is 1,2,4 trihydroxylbenzene not called 2,4 dihydroxyphenol?
Skye Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 That style of nomenclature is used sometimes, but I don't think it is the IUPAC way.
budullewraagh Posted May 18, 2005 Posted May 18, 2005 well, it's all the same. i think it just makes nomenclature more definite and specific sounding
