4-Isopropylcatechol

Description:

4-Isopropylcatechol, also known as 4-isopropyl-1,2-dihydroxybenzene, is an organic compound characterized by its catechol structure, which features two hydroxyl (-OH) groups attached to a benzene ring. The presence of an isopropyl group at the 4-position of the aromatic ring distinguishes it from other catechols. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It is soluble in organic solvents and exhibits moderate solubility in water due to the hydroxyl groups. 4-Isopropylcatechol is known for its antioxidant properties and is used in various applications, including as a chemical intermediate in the synthesis of other organic compounds and in the formulation of certain products in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. Additionally, it may exhibit biological activity, making it of interest in research related to its potential therapeutic effects. As with many organic compounds, proper handling and safety precautions are essential due to potential toxicity and environmental impact.

4-Isopropylcatechol

CAS: 2138-43-4

4-Isopropylcatechol is a phenolic compound that is found in plants, animals, and human beings. It is involved in the synthesis of melanin and has been shown to inhibit the growth of mouse melanoma cells through oxidation reactions. This compound also stimulates tyrosinase activity, which may play a role in the development of leukoderma when combined with medications or other synthetic estrogens. 4-Isopropylcatechol can be synthesized by combining acetoacetic acid and catechol. It also inhibits the production of prostaglandins, which are thought to have an effect on skin inflammation.
