CAS 10295-51-9

α-Hydroxy-N-(4-methylphenyl)benzeneacetamide

Description:

α-Hydroxy-N-(4-methylphenyl)benzeneacetamide, also known by its CAS number 10295-51-9, is an organic compound characterized by its structural features, which include a hydroxyl group (-OH) and an amide functional group. This compound typically exhibits properties associated with both aromatic and aliphatic systems due to the presence of a benzene ring and an acetamide moiety. It is likely to be a white to off-white solid at room temperature, with moderate solubility in polar solvents such as water and alcohols, while being less soluble in non-polar solvents. The presence of the hydroxyl group suggests potential for hydrogen bonding, which can influence its reactivity and interaction with biological systems. This compound may be of interest in pharmaceutical applications, particularly in the development of analgesics or anti-inflammatory agents, due to the structural similarities with known therapeutic agents. As with many organic compounds, its stability, reactivity, and biological activity can be influenced by environmental conditions such as pH and temperature.
