CAS 608-80-0: Hexahydroxybenzene

Description: Hexahydroxybenzene, also known as 1,2,3,4,5,6-hexahydroxybenzene, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of six hydroxyl (-OH) groups attached to a benzene ring. This polyhydroxy compound is a derivative of benzene, where each carbon atom in the aromatic ring is substituted with a hydroxyl group, resulting in a highly polar and water-soluble structure. The presence of multiple hydroxyl groups imparts significant hydrogen bonding capabilities, influencing its physical properties such as melting and boiling points. Hexahydroxybenzene is typically a white crystalline solid at room temperature and is used in various chemical applications, including as a precursor in organic synthesis and as a potential antioxidant. Its high reactivity due to the hydroxyl groups makes it a valuable compound in the development of more complex organic molecules. However, handling and storage require caution due to its potential reactivity and the need for proper safety measures in laboratory settings.
