(±)-Catechol

Description:

(±)-Catechol, also known as 1,2-dihydroxybenzene, is an aromatic compound characterized by the presence of two hydroxyl (-OH) groups attached to a benzene ring. It is a colorless to light yellow liquid with a sweet, aromatic odor and is soluble in water, alcohol, and ether. The compound exhibits isomerism, with two enantiomers due to the presence of chiral centers, although the (±) designation indicates a racemic mixture of both enantiomers. (±)-Catechol is commonly used in various applications, including as a precursor in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and dyes. It also serves as a reducing agent and antioxidant in chemical reactions. The compound is known for its ability to form complexes with metal ions and can participate in various biochemical processes, including those involving catecholamines. However, it can be toxic and irritating to the skin and eyes, necessitating appropriate safety precautions during handling.

(±)-Catechin

CAS: 7295-85-4

(±)-Catechin is a type of flavonoid, a class of compounds known for their diverse range of biological activities. It is primarily sourced from a variety of plants, including tea leaves, cocoa, and certain fruits, where it exists as a natural antioxidant. The mode of action of (±)-catechin involves scavenging free radicals, thereby protecting cells from oxidative stress and potential damage. This protective mechanism is largely attributed to its polyphenolic structure, allowing it to neutralize reactive oxygen species (ROS).
