ChEBI: Gentisyl alcohol is an aromatic primary alcohol that is benzyl alcohol substituted by hydroxy groups at positions 2 and 5. It has a role as an antioxidant, an antineoplastic agent, an apoptosis inhibitor and a fungal metabolite. It is an aromatic primary alcohol and a member of phenols. It is functionally related to a benzyl alcohol and a hydroquinone. | [Synthesis Reference(s)]
