As nouns the difference between phenol and hydroxyquinoline
is that phenol is a caustic, poisonous, white crystalline compound, C6H5OH, derived from benzene and used in resins, plastics, and pharmaceuticals and in dilute form as a disinfectant and antiseptic; once called carbolic acid while hydroxyquinoline is any of several isomeric phenols derived from quinoline, but especially quinolin-8-ol which is used as a chelating agent.
