CAS 184901-84-6: DL-4-hydroxymandelic acid monohydrate
Description:DL-4-hydroxymandelic acid monohydrate is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which includes a hydroxyl group and a carboxylic acid functional group, making it a derivative of mandelic acid. This compound is typically found as a white to off-white crystalline solid and is soluble in water due to the presence of polar functional groups. The monohydrate form indicates that it contains one molecule of water per molecule of the acid, which can influence its stability and solubility. DL-4-hydroxymandelic acid is often studied for its potential applications in pharmaceuticals and biochemistry, particularly in relation to its role as a chiral building block in the synthesis of various biologically active compounds. Its properties, such as melting point and pH, can vary depending on the specific conditions and purity of the sample. As with many organic acids, it may exhibit acidic behavior in solution, contributing to its reactivity in various chemical reactions.
