4-Hydroxy-1,3-benzenedimethanol

Description:

4-Hydroxy-1,3-benzenedimethanol, also known as 4-hydroxy-1,3-benzenedimethanol, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure featuring two hydroxymethyl groups and one hydroxyl group attached to a benzene ring. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid at room temperature and is soluble in water and various organic solvents due to the presence of hydroxyl groups, which can engage in hydrogen bonding. It exhibits properties such as being a potential intermediate in organic synthesis and may have applications in the production of polymers, pharmaceuticals, and other chemical products. The presence of multiple functional groups allows for reactivity in various chemical reactions, including esterification and etherification. Additionally, it may exhibit antioxidant properties, making it of interest in biochemical research. Safety data should be consulted for handling and storage, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken.

(4-Hydroxy-1,3-phenylene)dimethanol

CAS: 2937-60-2

The (4-Hydroxy-1,3-phenylene)dimethanol is a second-generation dendrimer with geometric features that are designed to provide protection against photochemical degradation. The deprotection of the 4-hydroxy group on the phenyl ring of the monomer provides the molecule with hydrophilic properties. It also has a high molecular weight and can act as an effective scaffold for designing other molecules. The (4-Hydroxy-1,3-phenylene)dimethanol can be synthesized by irradiation or photochemical reactions.
