Hydroquinone (chemical formula: C6H4(OH)2), also known as hydroquinone , is a compound formed by replacing two para-hydrogens of benzene with hydroxyl groups.
Hydroquinone is white needle crystal, flammable, soluble in hot water, ether and ethanol, slightly soluble in benzene. It has reducibility. After mild oxidation, brown p-benzoquinone (C6H4O2) is obtained, and p-benzoquinone is reduced to obtain hydroquinone. The p-benzoquinone-hydroquinone redox couple exists in many biomolecules, such as coenzyme Q.
The phenolic hydroxyl hydrogen of hydroquinone is weakly acidic and can lose one or two protons to form the corresponding phenate anion. Mainly used as reducing agent, developer (reducing silver halide to silver), polymerization inhibitor of monomer (acrylic acid, methyl methacrylate), and skin whitening agent. Hydroquinone ether is the raw material in the production of dyes and fragrances.
