4-Hydroxy-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione, also known as phthalimide, is an organic compound characterized by its bicyclic structure that includes an isoindole moiety. It features a hydroxyl group (-OH) at the 4-position and two carbonyl groups (C=O) that contribute to its reactivity and stability. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and dimethyl sulfoxide, but has limited solubility in water. Its chemical properties are influenced by the presence of the hydroxyl and carbonyl groups, making it a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis, particularly in the preparation of various pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. Additionally, 4-hydroxy-1H-isoindole-1,3(2H)-dione exhibits potential biological activities, including antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties, which have garnered interest in medicinal chemistry. Safety data indicates that, like many organic compounds, it should be handled with care, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
