4′-Ethyl-2-hydroxy[1,1′-biphenyl]-4-carboxylic acid

Description:

4′-Ethyl-2-hydroxy[1,1′-biphenyl]-4-carboxylic acid, identified by its CAS number 1261901-95-4, is an organic compound characterized by its biphenyl structure, which consists of two phenyl rings connected by a single bond. This compound features an ethyl group at the para position relative to the hydroxyl group, which is also located at the para position to the carboxylic acid group on one of the phenyl rings. The presence of the hydroxyl (-OH) and carboxylic acid (-COOH) functional groups contributes to its acidic properties and potential for hydrogen bonding, influencing its solubility and reactivity. The ethyl substituent can affect the compound's lipophilicity and overall molecular interactions. This compound may be of interest in various fields, including pharmaceuticals and materials science, due to its potential biological activity and structural properties. Its synthesis and applications could be explored further in research contexts, particularly in the development of new chemical entities or as intermediates in organic synthesis.
