RC6H4NHOH

RC6H4NHOH is a chemical formula that represents a compound containing a benzene ring (C6H4) attached to an amino group (NH) and a hydroxyl group (OH). The specific arrangement of these groups on the benzene ring determines the exact isomer and its properties. This formula describes a class of compounds rather than a single, unique molecule. These molecules are derivatives of aniline (C6H5NH2) where one hydrogen atom on the benzene ring has been substituted by a hydroxyl group, or derivatives of phenol (C6H5OH) where one hydrogen atom on the benzene ring has been substituted by an amino group. Therefore, RC6H4NHOH can refer to isomers such as 2-aminophenol, 3-aminophenol, or 4-aminophenol. These compounds are generally organic molecules and can exhibit properties characteristic of both amines and phenols. Their reactivity often involves the amino group, the hydroxyl group, or reactions on the aromatic ring. Specific applications and hazards would depend on the particular isomer.
