Phenol
Is there a relatively easy way to make Phenol C6H5OH as it seems very difficult to source these days. Other phenols such as Resorcinol and Thymol are
regularly available, but not phenol itself.
If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.

You can make it by decarboxylation of salicylic acid.

Salicylic acid is in a lot of skin care products and is more or less unregulated. Here's 500 grams for $25:

You're in the UK, but I'm sure you can find something of comparable price online.
The first step in the process of learning something is admitting that you don't know it already.
I'm givin' the spam shields max power at full warp, but they just dinna have the power! We're gonna have to evacuate to new forum software!

Worst case, you can buy a big bottle of ASA and hydrolyze it.
Please remember: "Filtrate" is not a verb.
