3,3′-Dihydroxybenzidine(CAT: I020855) is an organic compound belonging to the benzidine derivative family, characterized by two hydroxyl groups attached to a biphenyl structure. It is primarily used as an intermediate in the synthesis of azo dyes, pigments, and polymers due to its ability to undergo diazotization and coupling reactions. Additionally, its structural properties allow it to participate in redox reactions, making it useful in biochemical assays and analytical chemistry. However, due to its potential toxicity and carcinogenicity, handling 3,3′-Dihydroxybenzidine requires strict safety measures in chemical manufacturing and research applications.
