[1,1′-Biphenyl]-4-methanol

Description:

[1,1′-Biphenyl]-4-methanol, also known as 4-biphenylmethanol, is an organic compound characterized by its biphenyl structure with a hydroxymethyl group (-CH2OH) attached to one of the phenyl rings at the para position. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and ether, but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic biphenyl moiety. It exhibits properties typical of alcohols, including the ability to participate in hydrogen bonding, which can influence its reactivity and interactions with other substances. The presence of the hydroxymethyl group makes it a potential candidate for various chemical reactions, including oxidation and esterification. Additionally, [1,1′-Biphenyl]-4-methanol can serve as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals and other organic compounds. Its chemical behavior and applications are influenced by its structural features, making it a compound of interest in organic chemistry and materials science.

4-Biphenylmethanol

CAS: 3597-91-9

4-Biphenylmethanol is a low potency naphthalene derivative that has been shown to be carcinogenic in animal studies. It is also an inhibitor of protein synthesis, which may play a role in its carcinogenic potential. 4-Biphenylmethanol has been shown to inhibit the growth of Salmonella typhimurium and Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain when used at concentrations of 50 μg/mL or higher. This compound can react with hydrochloric acid to form hydrogen bonding interactions, which may account for its observed antibacterial activity.
