Description

2,5-Dichlorohydroquinone is a chlorinated derivative of hydroquinone. It is a colorless to light yellow solid with a melting point of 170-172 °C. It is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents. It is a key intermediate in the synthesis of several pharmaceutical products, including the anti-malarial drug chloroquine. It is also used as a dye intermediate and in the synthesis of polymers. 2,5-Dichlorohydroquinone has been studied for its potential use in organic electronics, due to its good electrical conductivity. It has also been studied for its potential use in the treatment of cancer, as it has been shown to exhibit anticancer activity in vitro. The compound is a potential environmental contaminant and may pose risks to human health. It is regulated by environmental agencies due to its potential toxicity. Research on 2,5-dichlorohydroquinone is focused on its synthesis, characterization, applications, and environmental impact.'
