5-Propyl-1,3-benzenediol(CAS#500-49-2)

Introduction

5-Propyl-1,3-hydroquinone is an organic compound. The following is an introduction to its nature, use, manufacturing methods and safety information:Quality:- Appearance: 5-propyl-1,3-hydroquinone is a white crystalline powder or crystal.- Solubility: Soluble in ethanol and acetone at room temperature, slightly soluble in water.Use:- It is also widely used as an antimicrobial preservative, rust inhibitor, wood protectant, as well as a circuit board solder mask in the electronics industry.Method:- 5-Propyl-1,3-hydroquinone can be prepared by hydroxyl substitution of p-acetone ketone. Specifically, acetone ketone and acetic anhydride are first reacted to form 5-propylbromo-1,3-benzenededione, and then alkali treatment with sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide is used to obtain 5-propyl-1,3-hydroquinone.Safety Information:- 5-propyl-1,3-hydroquinone is less toxic and stable, but skin and eyes should still be avoided when inhaling its dust or coming into contact with its solution. Pay attention to wear protective glasses, gloves and lab coats during operation.- Avoid contact with oxidants and strong acids during storage.
