  "term": "Phenolates",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "Anions derived from phenols by the deprotonation of the phenolic hydroxyl group. These species possess a negatively charged oxygen atom directly attached to an aromatic ring. Phenolates are resonance-stabilized and are stronger nucleophiles than their corresponding phenols, often participating in reactions such as Williamson ether synthesis.",
