Benzoic acid, 2-hydroxy-3-iodo-, also known as 3-iodosalicylic acid, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both a carboxylic acid and a hydroxyl group on a benzene ring, along with an iodine substituent. Its molecular structure features a benzene ring with a hydroxyl (-OH) group at the ortho position relative to the carboxylic acid (-COOH) group and an iodine atom at the meta position. This compound is typically a white to off-white crystalline solid and is soluble in alcohol and ether but less soluble in water due to its hydrophobic aromatic structure. Benzoic acid derivatives, including this compound, are known for their applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and as intermediates in organic synthesis. The presence of the iodine atom can impart unique reactivity and biological activity, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry. Safety data indicates that, like many halogenated compounds, it should be handled with care due to potential toxicity and environmental impact.

<p>2-Hydroxy-3-iodobenzoic acid is a carboxyl compound that has a radioactive form. It is stable in air and water, but can be oxidized by light or alkali. 2-Hydroxy-3-iodobenzoic acid can be used to synthesize the antiinflammatory drug salicylic acid. This drug is excreted in urine and feces as salicyluric acid. The metabolic pathway of 2-hydroxy-3-iodobenzoic acid includes oxidation and conjugation with glucuronic acid, which are the major routes of metabolism for salicylic acid.</p>
