2,2'-Benzene-1,4-diyldiethanol, with the CAS number 5140-03-4, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which features a benzene ring substituted with two diol (alcohol) functional groups. This compound is a type of bisphenol, specifically having hydroxyl groups at the 1 and 4 positions of the benzene ring, which contributes to its reactivity and potential applications in polymer chemistry. It is typically a colorless to light yellow solid at room temperature and is soluble in polar solvents due to the presence of hydroxyl groups. The compound exhibits properties such as hydrogen bonding, which can influence its physical and chemical behavior, including its melting and boiling points. Its diol functionality makes it useful in the synthesis of polyurethanes, epoxy resins, and other polymeric materials. Additionally, it may have applications in the production of surfactants and as a potential intermediate in organic synthesis. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with all chemical substances.

1,4-Bis(2-hydroxyethyl)benzene is a fuel additive. It has been used to produce polyesters by the copolymerization of ethylene glycol and terephthalic acid. The copolymers obtained have shown high elongation at break and good toughness after processing. 1,4-Bis(2-hydroxyethyl)benzene has also been studied as a possible oxygen scavenger in hydrogen peroxide polymerization. 1,4-Bis(2-hydroxyethyl)benzene is a phenolic compound that can be oxidized to form an ester with hydrogen peroxide and boronic acids. When heated, it decomposes into diphenyl ether and hydrogen peroxide gas. This reaction can be catalyzed by biocatalysts such as enzymes or dendrons. Hydrogenolysis of 1,4-bis(2-hydroxyethyl)benzene produces 2-(2
