2,5-Dihydroxy-3,6-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2,5-cyclohexadiene-1,4-dione

Description:

2,5-Dihydroxy-3,6-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2,5-cyclohexadiene-1,4-dione, commonly known as "Dihydroxyphenylindole" or "DHI," is an organic compound characterized by its complex structure featuring multiple hydroxyl groups and a cyclohexadiene core. This compound exhibits strong antioxidant properties due to the presence of phenolic hydroxyl groups, which can donate hydrogen atoms to neutralize free radicals. It is typically found in a solid state at room temperature and is soluble in organic solvents. DHI is often used in various applications, including dyeing and as a precursor in the synthesis of other organic compounds. Its chemical reactivity is influenced by the electron-donating and electron-withdrawing effects of the hydroxyl groups and the aromatic rings, making it a versatile compound in organic synthesis. Additionally, its structural features contribute to its potential biological activities, including antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
