Abstract

Other names which have been used are 1,3-benzenediol, resorcin, m-dihydroxybenzene, 1,3-dihydroxybenzene, and 1,3-dioxybenzene. The conventional numbering of the carbon atoms of resorcinol is shown inside structure 2–1. The alpha (α), beta (β), gamma (γ) designation was used in the older literature and is still used occasionally today.
