Phenyl 4-hydroxybenzoate

Description:

Phenyl 4-hydroxybenzoate, also known as phenylparaben, is an organic compound classified as an ester. It is derived from the reaction of phenol and p-hydroxybenzoic acid. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone, but has limited solubility in water. Phenyl 4-hydroxybenzoate is primarily used as a preservative in cosmetics and personal care products due to its antimicrobial properties, helping to prevent the growth of bacteria and fungi. It is also utilized in the food industry and pharmaceuticals. The compound is generally recognized as safe when used within recommended concentrations, although some individuals may experience sensitivities or allergic reactions. Its chemical structure features a phenyl group attached to a p-hydroxybenzoate moiety, contributing to its functional properties. As with many parabens, there has been ongoing research into its safety and potential endocrine-disrupting effects, leading to regulatory scrutiny in various regions.
