Resorcinol

Description:
Resorcinol, also known as 1,3-dihydroxybenzene, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C6H6O2. It appears as a white to pale yellow crystalline solid and is highly soluble in water, alcohol, and ether. Resorcinol has a characteristic sweet, phenolic odor and is known for its antiseptic and astringent properties. It is commonly used in the production of dyes, resins, and as a precursor in the synthesis of various pharmaceuticals. The compound exhibits a melting point around room temperature and has a boiling point that is significantly higher, indicating its stability under normal conditions. Resorcinol can undergo various chemical reactions, including oxidation and substitution, making it versatile in organic synthesis. Additionally, it is utilized in the formulation of hair dyes and skin care products due to its ability to penetrate the skin and its effectiveness in treating certain skin conditions. However, it is important to handle resorcinol with care, as it can be irritating to the skin and eyes and may pose health risks upon prolonged exposure.
