Products Description of HydroquinoneCAS#123-31-9
Hydroquinone is also called hydroquinone and 1.4-benzene. Molecular formula C6H6O2. Molecular weight 110.11. Colorless or white crystals. It changes color easily when exposed to light in the air. Its aqueous solution can oxidize to brown in the air, and oxidizes faster in alkaline medium. Melting point 170-171℃, boiling point 285-287℃, relative density 1.33215, UVλmax 288nm in water. It is easily soluble in hot water, ethanol and ether, and slightly soluble in benzene. It has active chemical properties and is easily oxidized. It can also undergo esterification, substitution and other reactions.
