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 Benzene-1,2,3-triol Benzene-1,2,4-triol Benzene-1,3,5-triol 


In biochemistry
[edit]The enzyme pyrogallol hydroxytransferase transforms benzene-1,2,3-triol (pyrogallol) into benzene-1,3,5-triol (phloroglucinol) and vice versa.[2] It uses benzene-1,2,3,5-tetrol as a cosubstrate, thanks to which it achieves a non-redox transhydroxylation.[3] This enzyme can be found in Pelobacter acidigallici.[4][5]
