:

4-(diphenylhydroxymethyl)benzoic acid

Description:
4-(Diphenylhydroxymethyl)benzoic acid, with the CAS number 19672-49-2, is an organic compound characterized by its benzoic acid structure substituted with a hydroxymethyl group that is further substituted with two phenyl groups. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents, but its solubility in water is limited due to its hydrophobic phenyl groups. The presence of the hydroxymethyl group contributes to its potential as a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the development of pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals. The compound may exhibit various functional properties, including potential antioxidant activity, due to the presence of the phenolic structure. Additionally, it may participate in hydrogen bonding due to the carboxylic acid group, influencing its reactivity and interactions in chemical processes. As with many organic compounds, handling should be done with care, considering safety data and potential hazards associated with its use.
