Pyrogallol Chemical Properties,Uses,Production

Chemical Properties

White or nearly white needle- or leaf-shaped crystals or crystalline powder.Pyrogallol is practically odorless.

Uses

Pyrogallol possesses importance as a spectrophotometric reagent in the determination of niobium and tantalum. The absorptions of niobium and tantalum complexes are usually measured at 340 and 335 nm, respectively. The niobium complex is formed in slightly acidic medium, and the tantalum complex in strongly acidic medium (4 N HC1). The absorption spectra are pH-dependen.

Definition

ChEBI: A benzenetriol carrying hydroxy groups at positions 1, 2 and 3.

Production Methods

Pyrogallol is prepared by heating dried gallic acid at about 200°C with the loss of carbon dioxide or by the chlorination of cyclohexanol to tetrachlorocyclohexanone, followed by hydrolysis.

General Description

Odorless white to gray solid. Sinks and mixes with water.

Air & Water Reactions

Turns gray on exposure to light or air. Water soluble.

Reactivity Profile

Pyrogallol is a strong reducing agent. Reacts with alkalis, NH3, antipyrine, camphor, phenol, iron and lead salts, iodine, lime water, menthol and KMnO4.

Hazard

Toxic by ingestion and skin absorption.

Health Hazard

Inhalation of dust causes irritation of nose and throat. Ingestion may cause severe gastrointestinal irritation, convulsions, circulatory collapse, and death. Contact with eyes causes irritation. Skin contact can cause local discoloration, irritation, eczema, and death; repeated contact can cause sensitization.

Fire Hazard

Pyrogallol is probably combustible.

Contact allergens

Pyrogallol belongs to the phenols group. It is an old photograph developer and a low sensitizer in hair dyes.

Safety Profile

Human poison by ingestion and subcutaneous routes. An experimental poison by ingestion, subcutaneous, intravenous, and intraperitoneal routes. Experimental teratogenic and reproductive effects. Questionable carcinogen with experimental tumorigenic data. Mutation data reported. 1 198 PPRSOO PYROSULFURYL CHLORIDE Readdy absorbed through the skin. Human systemic effects by ingestion: convulsions, dyspnea, gastrointestinal effects. A severe skin and eye irritant. Incompatible with alkalies, NH3, antipyrine, phenol, iron and lead salts, iodine, KMn04. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke and irritating fumes. Used as a topical antibacterial agent, as an intermediate, hair dye component, and analytical reagent.

Carcinogenicity

Pyrogallol was not carcinogenic in mouse and rabbit chronic dermal studies. Mice were treated twice weekly with pyrogallol in acetone (50%) on the shaved flank for life. There was no increase in dermal or systemic tumors. A similar study in rabbits also revealed no skin tumors, although positive controls showed an increase in tumors in both mice and rabbits.
Pyrogallol was considered to be cocarcinogenic when administered dermally three times a week together with the skin carcinogen benzo[a]pyrene for 440 days; pyrogallol administered alone caused no increase in skin tumors.
