Description:4-Hydroxy-8-methoxyquinoline, with the CAS number 21269-34-1, is an organic compound belonging to the quinoline family, characterized by a fused bicyclic structure containing a benzene ring and a pyridine ring. This compound features a hydroxyl group (-OH) at the 4-position and a methoxy group (-OCH3) at the 8-position of the quinoline structure, which contributes to its chemical reactivity and potential biological activity. It is typically a yellow to brown solid, and its solubility can vary depending on the solvent used. The presence of the hydroxyl and methoxy groups can influence its properties, such as polarity and hydrogen bonding capabilities. 4-Hydroxy-8-methoxyquinoline has been studied for its potential applications in pharmaceuticals, particularly for its antimicrobial and antitumor activities. Additionally, it may exhibit chelating properties, making it of interest in coordination chemistry. As with many organic compounds, safety data should be consulted for handling and usage, as it may pose health risks if not managed properly.
