Description:3-Hydroxyphenylacetylene is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both a hydroxyl group (-OH) and an acetylenic bond (triple bond) in its structure. It features a phenyl ring substituted with a hydroxyl group at the meta position relative to the acetylenic group. This compound is typically a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It is known for its potential applications in organic synthesis, particularly in the production of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The presence of the hydroxyl group contributes to its reactivity, allowing it to participate in hydrogen bonding and various chemical reactions, such as electrophilic aromatic substitution. Additionally, 3-hydroxyphenylacetylene can exhibit interesting optical properties, making it a candidate for studies in materials science and photonics. As with many organic compounds, safety precautions should be taken when handling it, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
