2-Hydroxyadipic acid

Description:

2-Hydroxyadipic acid, also known as 2-hydroxyhexanedioic acid, is a dicarboxylic acid characterized by the presence of two carboxyl (-COOH) groups and a hydroxyl (-OH) group on its carbon chain. It has the molecular formula C6H10O4 and features a six-carbon backbone, making it a derivative of adipic acid. This compound is typically a white crystalline solid that is soluble in water and exhibits moderate acidity due to its carboxylic acid groups. 2-Hydroxyadipic acid is of interest in various applications, including the synthesis of biodegradable polymers and as a potential building block in organic synthesis. Its hydroxyl group allows for further chemical modifications, enhancing its utility in creating more complex molecules. Additionally, it may have applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries due to its potential as a pH regulator or as an intermediate in the synthesis of other compounds. Overall, 2-hydroxyadipic acid is a versatile compound with significant relevance in both industrial and research contexts.
