Because it's a test for phenols or enols
phenol
Phenol is used as a numbing agent, and is contained in products such as Chloraseptic throat spray. It is also used on irritated skin to kill microbes and reduce risk of infections. It is very toxic in high doses, so should be used carefully. The major contraindication for phenol is allergic sensitivity to it.
Phenol is flammable.
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.
Polycarbonate is one of those materials that was discovered by accident. A chemist named Einhorn was trying to make cyclic carbonates by reacting phosgene (a very dangerous chemical later used as a chemical warfare agent) with hydroquinone (a phenol used largely as a film developing agent) and got an insoluble solid. Tests at Bayer in the 1950s to find the best phenol led to the discovery the phenol used in epoxy, bisphenol A, was the right phenol to use in polycarbonate.

There is no compound like Fe2cl but there is Fecl2 & its common name is 'ferric chloride' .

phenol
FeCl2 + 2KMnO4 --> Fe(MnO4)2 + 2KCl
FeCl2 is known as Iron(II) chloride, Iron dichloride & ferrous chloride.
Phenol is also known as carbolic acid, and is used as a disinfecting agent and topical anesthetic. It may be used to cauterize small wounds and is used in conjunction with calamine (zinc oxide and ferric oxide) as an antipruritic, or anti-itch agent. The phenol most likely is present for its anesthetic effects to calm the itching sensation.
phenol is used as a surgical hand scrub before surgical procedures
