Description

Tetrahydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone Hydrate is a highly potent herbicide that is widely used in organic farming. It is known for its strong inhibitory effects on the growth of various weeds and unwanted plants. This herbicide acts by interfering with the photosynthesis process in plants, specifically targeting the potassium channels and cellulose synthesis.

In addition to its herbicidal properties, Tetrahydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone Hydrate has also been found to have other applications. It can act as a blocker for verapamil, a medication used to treat high blood pressure and heart conditions. Furthermore, it has steroidal properties that make it an effective extractant for isolating certain compounds from natural sources.

Tetrahydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone Hydrate is water-soluble and can be easily dissolved in methanol or other polar solvents. This makes it convenient to use in various research settings
