1,2,3-Trihydroxybenzene
1,2,3-trihydroxybenzene, also known as pyrogallic acid or 1,2,3-benzenetriol, is a member of the class of compounds known as 5-unsubstituted pyrrogallols. 5-unsubstituted pyrrogallols are pyrrogallols that are unsubstituted at th5-position of the benzene ring. 1,2,3-trihydroxybenzene is soluble (in water) and a very weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). 1,2,3-trihydroxybenzene can be found in arabica coffee, beer, cocoa powder, and coffee, which makes 1,2,3-trihydroxybenzene a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products. 1,2,3-trihydroxybenzene can be found primarily in blood, feces, and urine. 1,2,3-trihydroxybenzene is an organic compound with the formula C6H3(OH)3. It is a white water-soluble solid although samples are typically brownish because of its sensitivity toward oxygen. It is one of three isomeric benzenetriols . Pyrogallic acid is an odorless white to gray solid. Sinks and mixes with water. (USCG, 1999) Pyrogallol is a benzenetriol carrying hydroxy groups at positions 1, 2 and 3. It has a role as a plant metabolite. It is a phenolic donor and a benzenetriol. Pyrogallol is a natural product found in Gunnera perpensa, Nigella glandulifera, and other organisms with data available. A trihydroxybenzene or dihydroxy phenol that can be prepared by heating GALLIC ACID.

It is a white crystalline powder and a powerful reducing agent. It was first prepared by Scheele 1786 by heating gallic acid. An alternate preparation is heating para-chlorophenoldisulphonic acid with potassium hydroxide. 1,2,3-Trihydroxybenzene has been found to be a metabolite of Aspergillus (https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/00021369.1982.10865473). A benzenetriol carrying hydroxy groups at positions 1, 2 and 3.
