Reactions of Other Phenolic Compounds
- Phenolic compounds are those that contain a phenol functional group
- An example of a phenolic compound is 1-naphthol
1-naphthol molecule 
1-Naphthol is a phenolic compound
- 1-Naphthol contains a phenol group attached to another benzene ring
- Just like with phenol, the -OH group in 1-naphthol is also electron-donating and activates the benzene ring to electrophilic substitution reactions
- The electrophiles are directed to the 2 and/or 4 positions
- Substitution at the 6 position is not possible as there is no hydrogen atom on this carbon
- This carbon is bonded to a carbon atom of the second benzene ring
- 1-Naphthol and other phenolic compounds react in a similar way as phenol
