Benzenehexol, also called hexahydroxybenzene, is an organic compound with formula Шаблон:Chem or Шаблон:Chem. It is a six-fold phenol of benzene.[1][2] The product is also called hexaphenol,[3] but this name has been used also for other substances.[4]

Benzenehexol is a crystalline solid soluble in hot water,[3] with a melting point above 310°.[1] It can be prepared from inositol (cyclohexanehexol). Oxidation of benzenehexol yields tetrahydroxy-p-benzoquinone (THBQ), rhodizonic acid, and dodecahydroxycyclohexane.[5] Conversely, benzenehexol can be obtained by reduction of sodium THBQ salt with SnCl2/HCl.[6]

Benzenehexol is a starting material for a class of discotic liquid crystals.[6]

Benzenehexol forms an adduct with 2,2'-bipyridine, with 1:2 molecular ratio.[7]

Benzenehexolate

Like most phenols, benzenehexol can lose the six H+ ions from the hydroxyl groups, yielding the hexaanion Шаблон:Chem. The potassium salt of this anion is one of the components of Liebig's so-called "potassium carbonyl", the product of the reaction of carbon monoxide with potassium. The hexaanion is produced by trimerization of the acetylenediolate anion Шаблон:Chem when heating potassium acetylenediolate Шаблон:Chem.[8] The nature of Шаблон:Chem was clarified by R. Nietzki and T. Benckiser in 1885, who found that its hydrolysis yielded benzenehexol.[9][10][11]

The lithium salt of this anion, Li6C6O6 has been considered for electric battery applications.[12]

Esters

Hexahydroxy benzene forms esters such as the hexaacetate Шаблон:Chem(-O(CO)CH3)6 (melting point 220 °C) and ethers like hexa-tert-butoxybenzene Шаблон:Chem(-OC(CH3)3)6 (melting point 223 °C).[8]
