1.3- Dihydroxy-5- benzene structure

It is a lipophilic compound which removes intercellular lipids that are covalently linked to the cornified envelope surrounding epithelial cells [3]. It also enhances penetration of other agents. Resorcinol (m-dihydroxy benzene) is structurally and chemically similar to phenol. It disrupts the weak hydrogen bonds of keratin [4]. Lactic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid which causes corneocyte detachment and subsequent desquamation of the stratum corneum [5]. 

The Stock in trade of structure theory was explaining otherwise mysterious cases of isomerism. In the first fascicle of his textbook (1859), Kekul6 offered a structural explanation for one case of aromatic isomerism, namely, benzoic acid and salicylous acid. In Kekulean terms the two substances were "metamers," or what we now call ordinary structural isomers. But subtler sorts of isomerisms were showing up in the aromatic realm. Even before structure theory appeared on the scene, chemists had recognized many cases of isomerism among double-substituted benzene two distinct dihydroxy benzenes, two distinct ni-trophenols, two distinct nitrobenzoic acids, two distinct aminobenzoic acids, two distinct chlorobenzoic acids, and two distinct hydroxyben-zoic acids. Kekule mentioned the last of these in 1859, and declared what he called "oxybenzoic acid" to be an "isomer in the narrower sense" (i.e., a nonstructural isomer) of salicylic acid. He commented that there must be some unknown difference in the composition of the "atomic groups that are assumed as radicals in their formulas." ... 

Attempts had been made to synthesise polyesters based on phthalic acid as the diacid component, but these products were amorphous, had low softening points, and were rapidly attacked by organic solvents and acids and bases. Research into polyesters made by the reaction of terephthalic acid (or esters thereof) with aliphatic diols, led to the discovery of polyesters of high commercial value poly(alkylene terephthalate)s [4]. This pairing of diols with terephthalic acid eventually led to the most commercially successful aromatic polyesters, but other synthetic pathways were also investigated towards such products in the early days of polyester development. These included the self-condensation of hydroxy acids of the structure -H0-R-Ph-C02H, where R-OH is para to the acid group and R is -(CH2)- or -(CH2)2- [5], and reactions of aliphatic diacids with 1,4-dihydroxy benzene and similar aromatic diols [6, 7]. Also synthesised about the same time were polyesters based on C2-Cg aliphatic diols and any of the isomeric naphthalene dicarboxylic acids [8]. 

One of the earliest studies in this area was concerned with a case of packing polymorphism, where Robertson initially reported the structure of resorcinol (1,3-dihydroxy-benzene).The crystal studied in this work corresponded to the form obtained at room temperature, and which was later termed the ot-form. However, it was subsequently learned that this a-form was in fact a metastable form, and that it could undergo a phase transformation into a denser crystalline modification (denoted as the (3-form) when heated at about 74 °C. The structure of this newer form was found to be completely different, and the crystallography permitted an explanation of the anomalous density change. 

The three dihydroxy derivatives of benzene may be naned as 1,2-, 1,3-, and 1,4-benzenediol, respectively, but each is more faniliaily known by the common nane indicated in parentheses below the structures shown here. These common names are permissible lUPAC nfflnes. 

As seen in the gitonic and vicinal systems, ammonium and related cationic centers may be components of superelectrophiles and reactive dications having the 1,3-dicationic structure. Several types of superelectrophilic aza-carbo dications have been studied in which protonated nitro groups are involved. For example, it was found that nitroethylene reacts with benzene in the presence of 10 equivalents of CF3SO3H to give deoxybenzoin oxime in 96% yield (eq 58).71 Since the reaction does not occur with only one equivalent of CF3SO3H, the formation of the /V./V -dihydroxy iminium-methyl dication 197 was proposed. In spectroscopic studies, the stable dication (199) can be directly observed by H and 13C NMR spectroscopy from solutions of l-nitro-2-methyl-l-propene (198) in CF3SO3H (eq 59).

Reaction with aldehydes.1 The reagent (1) reacts with propionaldehyde to form one diastereoisomeric form of a cyclic saturated oxyphosphorane structure with the 1,3-dioxaphospholane ring system (2). The product is hydrolyzed by water in benzene solution to give an erythro-a,/8-dihydroxy ketone (3). Compare 1,1233. 

The same conclusion has been reached as a result of the study of aromatic compounds. A noteworthy example of a case in which the method fails is furnished by the three isomeric bromoben-zenesulphonic acids. The ortho, meta, and para compounds, when fused with sodium hydroxide, yield the same dihydroxy derivative of benzene, resorcinol, which has been shown to be a meta compound. On account of such facts as this, a definite conclusion as to structure can not be reached by the study of a single transformation. The problem is not so difficult as it appears to be, on account of the fact that the exhaustive study of many transformations has shown clearly that those of certain types take place normally. Such transformations are the ones employed in the determination of structure.
