Benzenehexol, also called hexahydroxybenzene, is an organic compound with formula C
6H
6O
6 or C
6(OH)
6. It is a six-fold phenol of benzene.[2][3] The product is also called hexaphenol,[4] but this name has been used also for other substances.[5]
Benzenehexol is a crystalline solid soluble in hot water,[4] with a melting point above 310°.[2] It can be prepared from inositol (cyclohexanehexol). Oxidation of benzenehexol yields tetrahydroxy-p-benzoquinone (THBQ), rhodizonic acid, and dodecahydroxycyclohexane.[6] Conversely, benzenehexol can be obtained by reduction of sodium THBQ salt with SnCl2/HCl.[7]
Benzenehexol is a starting material for a class of discotic liquid crystals.[7]
Benzenehexol forms an adduct with 2,2'-bipyridine, with 1:2 molecular ratio.[8]

Transcription
Benzenehexolate
Like most phenols, benzenehexol can lose the six H+ ions from the hydroxyl groups, yielding the hexaanion C
6O6−
6. 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 C
2O2−
2 when heating potassium acetylenediolate K
2C
2O
2.[9] The nature of K
6C
6O
6 was clarified by R. Nietzki and T. Benckiser in 1885, who found that its hydrolysis yielded benzenehexol.[10][11][12]
The lithium salt of this anion, Li6C6O6 has been considered for electric battery applications.[13]
Esters
Hexahydroxy benzene forms esters such as the hexaacetate C
6(-O(CO)CH3)6 (melting point 220 °C) and ethers like hexa-tert-butoxybenzene C
6(-OC(CH3)3)6 (melting point 223 °C).[9]
