2-Aminoresorcinol

Description:

2-Aminoresorcinol, with the CAS number 3163-15-3, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both an amino group (-NH2) and a hydroxyl group (-OH) on a resorcinol backbone, which is a benzene ring with two hydroxyl groups in the 1 and 3 positions. This compound typically appears as a white to light yellow crystalline solid and is soluble in water due to its polar functional groups. It exhibits properties such as being a reducing agent and can participate in various chemical reactions, including diazotization and coupling reactions, making it useful in dye synthesis and as a reagent in analytical chemistry. Additionally, 2-aminoresorcinol has applications in the pharmaceutical industry and in the development of certain polymers. Its structural features contribute to its biological activity, and it may exhibit antimicrobial properties. However, like many chemical substances, it should be handled with care, considering potential toxicity and environmental impact.

2-Aminoresorcinol

CAS: 3163-15-3

2-Aminoresorcinol is a synthetic chemical compound that inhibits the reaction of amines with chlorine atoms. It is used as an intermediate in the production of resorcinol and 2-aminophenol. The reaction mechanism involves the formation of a chloramine (chlorine atom attached to an amine) which, in turn, reacts with malonic acid to produce an intermediate that undergoes intramolecular hydrogen transfer. This reaction results in the formation of a chloroform molecule. A second step involves hydroxylation by hydrochloric acid, which leads to the formation of chloral hydrate. In this way, 2-aminoresorcinol can be used for the synthesis of both resorcinol and 2-aminophenol. 2-Aminoresorcinol is also known for its inhibitory effects on certain reactions involving amines and sulfur compounds such as thiourea and carbonyl compounds such as malonic acid.
