Trihydroxybenzenes
Appearance
The trihydroxybenzenes (or benzenetriols) are organic compounds with the formula C6H3(OH)3. Also classified as polyphenols, they feature three hydroxyl groups substituted onto a benzene ring. They are white solids with modest solubility in water.[1]
Pyrogallol Hydroxyquinol Phloroglucinol 1,2,3-Trihydroxybenzene 1,2,4-Trihydroxybenzene 1,3,5-Trihydroxybenzene
The enzyme pyrogallol hydroxytransferase uses 1,2,3,5-tetrahydroxybenzene and 1,2,3-trihydroxybenzene (pyrogallol), whereas its two products are 1,3,5-trihydroxybenzene (phloroglucinol) and 1,2,3,5-tetrahydroxybenzene. This enzyme can be found in Pelobacter acidigallici..[2][3]
