Pyrogallol is an organic compound with the formula C6H3(OH)3. It is a water-soluble, white solid although samples are typically brownish because of its sensitivity toward oxygen. It is one of three isomers of benzenetriols.
== Production and reactions== It is produced in the manner first reported by Scheele in 1786: heating gallic acid to induce decarboxylation.
