No, phenol would not give a positive result with Millon's test. Millon's test specifically detects phenolic compounds that have a hydroxyl group attached to a benzene ring, but phenol itself lacks the necessary structural modifications (like being part of a phenolic compound such as tyrosine) to react positively. The test is primarily used to identify the presence of tyrosine and similar amino acids, which undergo a specific reaction to form a red complex.
