This appears in an intermediate stage of the manufacture of caprolactam, and the 2-nitro type forms an intramolecular bond and has a lower melting point than the 4-nitro type. This colorless, crystalline solid is produced after caustic alkalis are fused with benzenesulfonic acid. Detectable from smell at 60 parts per billion, it is combined with furfural or formaldehyde to make Bakelite. With chemical formula C6H5OH, for ten points, which aromatic alcohol is the simplest hydroxybenzene derivative?
