4-ETHYL-3-HYDROXYBENZOIC ACID

Description:
4-Ethyl-3-hydroxybenzoic acid, with the CAS number 100523-85-1, is an aromatic carboxylic acid characterized by the presence of both a hydroxyl group (-OH) and a carboxylic acid group (-COOH) on a benzene ring. The ethyl group is attached to the fourth carbon of the benzene ring, while the hydroxyl group is located at the third position, making it a derivative of salicylic acid. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents, with limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic ethyl group. It exhibits properties typical of phenolic compounds, including potential antioxidant activity. The presence of the hydroxyl group contributes to its acidity and reactivity, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, such as esterification and etherification. 4-Ethyl-3-hydroxybenzoic acid may have applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Its specific biological activities and potential uses would depend on further research and characterization.
