phenolAn antiseptic and disinfectant aromatic alcohol.
oxepinsCompounds based on a 7-membered heterocyclic ring including an oxygen. They can be considered a medium ring ether. A natural source is the MONTANOA plant genus. Some dibenzo-dioxepins, called depsidones, are found in GARCINIA plants.
benzene oxideRN given refers to parent cpd
2-benzoquinonereacts with methionines of RNAase at pH 1; reagent for determining conformational differences in related proteins
benzeneToxic, volatile, flammable liquid hydrocarbon byproduct of coal distillation. It is used as an industrial solvent in paints, varnishes, lacquer thinners, gasoline, etc. Benzene causes central nervous system damage acutely and bone marrow damage chronically and is carcinogenic. It was formerly used as parasiticide.
catecholRN given refers to unlabeled parent cpd
5,6-dihydroxycyclohexa-1,3-dieneRN given refers to cpd without isomeric designation; structure given in first source
quinone
S-phenyl-N-acetylcysteine, (DL)-isomer
