Also known as 1,2-Benzenediol, o-Benzenediol, 1,2-Dihydroxybenzene, o-Dihydroxybenzene, 2-Hydroxyphenol, Pyrocatechol, o-hydroxyphenol, pyrocatechin
Catechol ( or ), also known as pyrocatechol or 1,2-dihydroxybenzene, is an organic compound with the molecular formula . It is the ortho isomer of the three isomeric benzenediols. This colorless compound occurs naturally in trace amounts. It was first discovered by destructive distillation of the plant extract catechin. About 20,000 tonnes of catechol are now synthetically produced annually as a commodity organic chemical, mainly as a precursor to pesticides, flavors, and fragrances. Small amounts of catechol occur in fruits and vegetables.
