Their simplest example can be produce by a Friedel-Crafts alkylation of benzene, followed by a peroxidation, and ending with a decomposition to give this compound.
The Hopfner-Vorsatz test is a histochemical method to detect highly substituted examples of these compounds. These compounds can be produced using excess nitrous oxide from adipic acid production activated by a zeolite catalyst in the Solutia process. In one assay, the concentration of these compounds is measured in gallic acid equivalents and uses a molybdo-tungstate reagent with a lambda-max of 750 nm. That reagent, which is named after the simplest example of these compounds and Otto Folin, is also used in the Lowry protein quantitation assay. The biosynthesis of these compounds begins with the deamination of tyrosine. Their simplest example can be produce by a Friedel-Crafts alkylation of benzene, followed by a peroxidation, and ending with a decomposition to give this compound. For 10 points, name this class of compounds whose simplest member, produced in the Cumene process, is a benzene with a hydroxyl group.
