    Meh, it’s a benzene ring but with the hydroxyl and other groups on, it is a diminished benzene ring, the inter-ring bonds aren’t quite as stable as a pure aromatic ring.

    Has to do with the electron bonds having slightly longer lengths than in their 1.5 configuration. The difference is prety minor.
