Bakelite is formed as result of a condensation between formaldehyde and this compound, and its conjugated structure gives it higher acidity than related aliphatic alcohols.
Similar to a reaction that converts an ester of this compound, the Hofmann-Martius rearrangement converts an alkylated aniline to another substituted aniline. The anionic form of this compound can be used to activate carboxylic acids to facilitate amide bond formation in peptide synthesis. It is synthesized via partial oxidation of cumene in a reaction known as the Hock rearrangement, and monohydrated versions of this compound are used in the synthesis of quinones. Bakelite is formed as result of a condensation between formaldehyde and this compound, and its conjugated structure gives it higher acidity than related aliphatic alcohols. Highly affected by electrophilic aromatic substitution, name this compound with an ortho/para directing group consiting of a phenyl group bonded to a hydroxyl.
