The molecular formula C₇H₆O₄ may refer to:

Dihydroxybenzoic acids, a type of phenolic acids
- 2,3-Dihydroxybenzoic acid (2-pyrocatechuic acid or hypogallic acid)
- 2,4-Dihydroxybenzoic acid (β-resorcylic acid)
- 2,5-Dihydroxybenzoic acid (gentisic acid)
- 2,6-Dihydroxybenzoic acid (γ-resorcylic acid)
- 3,4-Dihydroxybenzoic acid (protocatechuic acid)
- 3,5-Dihydroxybenzoic acid (α-resorcylic acid)
2,6-Dihydroxybenzoic acid is a dihydroxybenzoic acid. It is a very strong acid due to its intramolecular hydrogen bonding.
3,5-Dihydroxybenzoic acid is a dihydroxybenzoic acid. It is a colorless solid.
Patulin, a mycotoxin produced by a variety of molds

Dihydroxybenzoic acids (DHBA) are a type of phenolic acids.

2,3-Dihydroxybenzoic acid is a natural phenol found in Phyllanthus acidus and in the aquatic fern Salvinia molesta. It is also abundant in the fruits of Flacourtia inermis. It is a dihydroxybenzoic acid, a type of organic compound. The colorless solid occurs naturally, being formed via the shikimate pathway. It is incorporated into various siderophores, which are molecules that strongly complex iron ions for absorption into bacteria. 2,3-DHB consists of a catechol group, which upon deprotonation binds iron centers very strongly, and the carboxylic acid group by which the ring attaches to various scaffolds through amide bonds. A famous high affinity siderophore is enterochelin, which contains three dihydroxybenzoyl substituents linked to the depsipeptide of serine.

2,4-Dihydroxybenzoic acid is a dihydroxybenzoic acid.

Resorcylic acid lactones are a group of estrogenic compounds. They are lactones of resorcylic acid. Examples include the mycoestrogens zearalenone, zearalanone, zeranol (α-zearalanol), taleranol (β-zearalanol), α-zearalenol, and β-zearalenol.

Taleranol, or teranol, also known as β-zearalanol, is a synthetic, nonsteroidal estrogen of the resorcylic acid lactone group related to mycoestrogens found in Fusarium spp which was never marketed. It is the β epimer of zeranol (α-zearalanol) and is a major metabolite of zeranol but with less biological activity.

α-Zearalenol is a nonsteroidal estrogen of the resorcylic acid lactone group related to mycoestrogens found in Fusarium spp. It is the α epimer of β-zearalenol and along with β-zearalenol is a major metabolite of zearalenone formed mainly in the liver but also to a lesser extent in the intestines during first-pass metabolism. A relatively low proportion of β-zearalenol is formed from zearalenone compared to α-zearalenol in humans. α-Zearalenol is about 3- to 4-fold more potent as an estrogen relative to zearalenone.
