Product Information

• Name: Chloranilic acid
• Synonyms: 2,5-Dichloro-3,6-dihydroxy-2,5-cyclohexadiene-1,4-dione2,5-Dichloro-3,6-dihydroxy-p-benzoquinone2,5-Dihydroxy-3,6-dichloro-1,4-ben zoquinone4.8
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Chloranilic acid is a thermally unstable compound that undergoes a number of reactions with the addition of heat. It reacts with nitrogen atoms to form amides, nitriles, and nitro compounds. Chloranilic acid also reacts with polymerases to form stable complexes. The proton at the center of the chloranilic acid molecule is lost when it forms an acid complex. This reaction occurs in aqueous solution as well as in biological systems, where it is used for hydrogen bonding interactions. The stable complexes that are formed by chloranilic acid have been shown to have biological properties such as antimicrobial activity, antiviral activity, and antifungal activity.
