苯酚（Phenol），CAS 108-95-2。 化学工业的基石之一。塑料、染料、药物、炸药、消毒剂——苯酚的身影无处不在。在化工社数据库里，有 4,779 条反应涉及它。 历史上，苯酚的大规模生产方法经历了三次迭代： 最早是从煤焦油中提取，产量受限。1923 年，磺化碱熔法成为主流，但产生大量废盐。到了 1960 年代，异丙苯-过氧化氢法（Cumene 法）取代了一切——同时联产丙酮，原子经济性大幅提升。 如今全球苯酚年产量超过 1000 万吨，几乎全部来自 Cumene 法。这就是工业化学的典型路径：从实验室里的烧瓶，到万吨级反应器，中间是无数次路线优化的积累。 化工社搜 108-95-2，可以查看苯酚的关联反应和分子结构。
