  2. 4-Methylcatechol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4-methylcatechol

    Calone, a derivative of 4-methylcatechol, is known in the fragrance industry as "watermelon ketone" for its distinctive odor. [3]The brand of low-temperature coke used as a smokeless fuel Coalite obtains homocatechol from ammoniacal liquor by solvent extraction, distillation and crystallisation.

  3. Dihydroxybenzenes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dihydroxybenzenes

    The Dakin oxidation is an organic redox reaction in which an ortho- or para-hydroxylated phenyl aldehyde (−CH=O) or ketone (>C=O) reacts with hydrogen peroxide in base to form a benzenediol and a carboxylate.

  4. p-Chlorocresol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P-Chlorocresol

    p-Chlorocresol, or 4-chloro-3-methylphenol (ClC 6 H 3 CH 3 OH), also known as p-chloro-m-cresol, is a potent disinfectant and antiseptic. [1] It appears as a pinkish white crystalline solid. [ 2 ] It is also used as a preservative [ 3 ] in cosmetics and medicinal products for both humans and animals.

  5. Catechol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catechol

    Catechol (/ ˈ k æ t ɪ tʃ ɒ l / or / ˈ k æ t ɪ k ɒ l /), also known as pyrocatechol or 1,2-dihydroxybenzene, is an organic compound with the molecular formula C 6 H 4 (OH) 2. It is the ortho isomer of the three isomeric benzenediols .

  6. Catechin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catechin

    Electrochemical experiments show that (+)-catechin oxidation mechanism proceeds in sequential steps, related with the catechol and resorcinol groups and the oxidation is pH-dependent. The oxidation of the catechol 3′,4′-dihydroxyl electron-donating groups occurs first, at very low positive potentials, and is a reversible reaction.

  7. Alcohol oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcohol_oxidation

    The oxidation of primary alcohols to carboxylic acids normally proceeds via the corresponding aldehyde, which is transformed via an aldehyde hydrate (gem-diol, R-CH(OH) 2) by reaction with water. Thus, the oxidation of a primary alcohol at the aldehyde level without further oxidation to the carboxylic acid is possible by performing the reaction ...

  8. Catechol oxidase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catechol_oxidase

    Catechol oxidase is a copper oxidase that contains a type 3 di-copper cofactor and catalyzes the oxidation of ortho-diphenols into ortho-quinones coupled with the reduction of molecular oxygen to water.

  9. Dakin oxidation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dakin_oxidation

    The Dakin oxidation. The Dakin oxidation (or Dakin reaction) is an organic redox reaction in which an ortho- or para-hydroxylated phenyl aldehyde (2-hydroxybenzaldehyde or 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde) or ketone reacts with hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2) in base to form a benzenediol and a carboxylate. Overall, the carbonyl group is oxidised, whereas the ...
