Phenolics

Hi,

Does anyone know the general formula for phenolics?

I'd say the general formula for phenolics is something like
--- R2,3,4,5,6-C6-O-R ---,
where the C6 is the benzene ring and
the R's can be H or anything else.

Phenolics is also a term used for various Ph-OH/CH2O type
resins like Bakelites etc.
-- and even more loosely is applied to bio-active anti-oxidants etc.
-- and, yo, Donald Haarmann, post some of your usual, good
literature refs.
