Description:4-Bromo-3-hydroxybenzoic acid, with the CAS number 14348-38-0, is an aromatic compound characterized by the presence of a bromine atom and a hydroxyl group on a benzoic acid framework. This compound features a bromine substituent at the para position and a hydroxyl group at the meta position relative to the carboxylic acid group. It typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents, with limited solubility in water. The presence of both the bromine and hydroxyl groups contributes to its potential reactivity, making it useful in various chemical syntheses and applications, including pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The compound may exhibit biological activity, which can be attributed to its structural features. As with many aromatic acids, it can participate in hydrogen bonding and may act as a weak acid in solution. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
