4-methoxybenzene-1,2-diol

Description:

4-Methoxybenzene-1,2-diol, also known as 4-methoxy-1,2-benzenediol or by its CAS number 3934-97-2, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a methoxy group (-OCH₃) and two hydroxyl groups (-OH) on a benzene ring. This compound exhibits properties typical of phenolic compounds, including potential antioxidant activity due to the presence of hydroxyl groups, which can donate protons and stabilize free radicals. It is generally soluble in polar solvents, such as water and alcohols, owing to its hydroxyl groups, while the methoxy group can influence its lipophilicity. The compound may be used in various applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis, in the formulation of pharmaceuticals, or as a reagent in chemical reactions. Its structural features contribute to its reactivity, making it a subject of interest in both synthetic and medicinal chemistry. Safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as with all chemical substances.
