Description:9-Phenanthrol, with the CAS number 484-17-3, is an organic compound characterized by its phenanthrene backbone with a hydroxyl (-OH) group at the 9-position. This compound appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid and is known for its role as a versatile building block in organic synthesis and as a reagent in various chemical reactions. It exhibits moderate solubility in organic solvents such as ethanol and methanol, while being less soluble in water due to its hydrophobic phenanthrene structure. 9-Phenanthrol is often utilized in the study of molecular interactions and has applications in the fields of materials science and medicinal chemistry. Its hydroxyl group contributes to its reactivity, allowing it to participate in hydrogen bonding and other interactions, making it useful in the development of pharmaceuticals and as a probe in biochemical assays. Safety precautions should be observed when handling this compound, as with many organic chemicals, due to potential health hazards.
