2-Hydroxy-4-iodobenzoic acid

Description:
2-Hydroxy-4-iodobenzoic acid, with the CAS number 16870-28-3, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of benzoic acids. It features a hydroxyl group (-OH) and an iodine atom attached to a benzene ring, which is further substituted with a carboxylic acid group (-COOH). This compound is characterized by its white to off-white crystalline appearance and is soluble in polar solvents such as water and alcohols, owing to the presence of the hydroxyl and carboxylic acid functional groups. The iodine substitution can influence its reactivity and biological activity, making it of interest in various chemical and pharmaceutical applications. Additionally, 2-hydroxy-4-iodobenzoic acid may exhibit properties such as antimicrobial or anti-inflammatory effects, which are common in compounds with similar structures. Its synthesis typically involves the iodination of a suitable precursor followed by hydroxylation and carboxylation steps. As with many organic compounds, handling should be done with care, considering potential hazards associated with iodine and acidic substances.
