Description:6-Chloro-4-hydroxycoumarin is a chemical compound belonging to the coumarin family, characterized by its fused benzene and α-pyrone rings. This compound features a chlorine atom at the 6-position and a hydroxyl group at the 4-position of the coumarin structure, which contributes to its unique chemical properties. It typically appears as a crystalline solid and is known for its fluorescent properties, making it useful in various applications, including as a fluorescent probe in biochemical assays. The presence of the hydroxyl group enhances its solubility in polar solvents, while the chlorine substituent can influence its reactivity and interaction with biological systems. 6-Chloro-4-hydroxycoumarin has been studied for its potential pharmacological activities, including antimicrobial and anticancer properties. Additionally, it serves as a precursor in the synthesis of other coumarin derivatives, which are of interest in medicinal chemistry. As with many chemical substances, safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound due to potential toxicity and environmental impact.
