Homework Statement



There's a benzene ring with both OH and H attatched to the same carbon atom on the benzene ring and I was wondering what this molecule would be called.




The Attempt at a Solution



I thought it might be an acid group attached to the benzene ring but wouldn't there be a C attatched to the benzene ring as well to make benzoic acid?

Sorry this is all rubbish! I didn't even have a benzene ring but I'm able to name what I did have!
