O-Cresol – 500ml Packs

O-Cresol is a phenolic organic chemical designed for educational coursework and laboratory demonstrations in college and university teaching laboratories. It provides chemistry instructors with a standard monomethyl phenol to demonstrate the physical and chemical characteristics of aromatic hydroxyl compounds.

Within higher education chemistry practicals, this reagent is used to illustrate electrophilic aromatic substitution, colorimetric complexation with ferric chloride, and qualitative organic analysis. It enables students to directly compare reactivity trends and physical properties among isomeric cresols during supervised laboratory sessions.

This laboratory chemical satisfies the requirements of college laboratory syllabi and advanced secondary chemistry programs focusing on practical organic chemistry. It offers clear, verifiable experimental outcomes for academic investigations.

Given its characteristic odor and corrosive nature, o-cresol should be handled within a well-ventilated space or fume cupboard. Store the container tightly closed in a cool chemical store, and ensure students wear appropriate protective gloves.
