Hello just a quick question regarding the physical properties of 2-(propylsulfanyl)benzene-1,4-diol. I have been working on a simple one-pot synthesis
of 2-(propylsulfanyl)benzene-1,4-diol from benzoquinone via a Michael addition. Now I did small scale run last night and have isolated what I believe
to be the desired hydroquinone, but I do not know the mp of the compound. Does anybody know the mp for 2-(propylsulfanyl)benzene-1,4-diol?
Thanks!

Thanks,
Unfortunately the product I isolated had a mp which was way off. Im not quite sure what went wrong, but this reaction is awfully stinky. So I will
have to come back to this one some time in the future.
