5-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)pentanoic acid

Description:
5-(4-Hydroxyphenyl)pentanoic acid, also known as 4-Hydroxyphenylvaleric acid, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic and aliphatic structure. It features a pentanoic acid backbone with a hydroxyl group attached to a phenyl ring at the fourth position. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid and is soluble in polar solvents such as water and alcohols, owing to the presence of the hydroxyl group, which enhances its hydrophilicity. It exhibits properties typical of carboxylic acids, including the ability to form salts and esters. The hydroxyl group contributes to its potential as an antioxidant and may influence its reactivity in various chemical reactions. Additionally, this compound may have applications in pharmaceuticals, biochemistry, and materials science due to its structural characteristics. Its molecular formula reflects the presence of both aromatic and aliphatic components, making it an interesting subject for studies related to drug design and synthesis.
