Benzene-1,3-diol, also known as resorcinol, is an organic compound characterized by a benzene ring with two hydroxyl (-OH) groups positioned at the 1 and 3 carbon atoms. This dihydroxybenzene derivative is a colorless to pale yellow crystalline solid at room temperature, exhibiting a sweet, phenolic odor. It is soluble in water, alcohol, and ether, making it versatile for various applications. Resorcinol is known for its antiseptic and astringent properties, commonly utilized in the formulation of pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and hair dyes. Additionally, it serves as a precursor in the synthesis of various chemical compounds, including resins and adhesives. The compound has a melting point that allows it to exist in solid form under standard conditions, and it can undergo typical aromatic reactions, such as electrophilic substitution. Safety considerations are important, as resorcinol can be irritating to the skin and eyes, and appropriate handling measures should be observed in laboratory and industrial settings.
