It is a proposed way of removing phenol from water using mustard greens.
An aminophenol is any of three isomeric amino derivatives of phenol.
At concentrations above 1% phenol has a significant antibacterial affect. Derivatives of phenol, called phenolics, injure the lipid-containing plasma membranes of bacteria and cause the cell to leak its cellular contents.
You add a specific ionic compound in a solution to determine if phenol or any of its derivatives are present. Ferric chloride (FeCl3) for example, can be used for such tests. Basically, when you mix the solution with the compound, the ions will interact with the phenol molecules or groups, and as a result, the solution will briefly change color. If there is no colour change in the solution, this suggest there is no phenol or phenol-based molecules in your solution.
peeled potatoes should not be exposed to air longer than necessary to avoid oxidation and changing of color of the surface. it contains the polyphenol oxidase which oxidizes catechol to o-diphenol. the phenol oxidases are copper containing proteins which can oxidize phenol derivatives to quinones.

Phenol is flammable.

What are some examples of Phenol
Yes, at room temperature bromine reacts with phenol and forms 2,4,6-tribromo phenol.
Both water and phenol are very weak acids. Though phenol is the stronger of the two.
Phenol. Phenol's Dipole Moment: 1.7D Phenyl chloride's Dipole Moment: 1.54D
The substitution reactions of phenol are easier than benzene, phenol directly reacts with bromine and gives tribromo phenol while benzene requires FeCl3 as a catalyst and gives mono bromo phenol.
