5-Chloro-2-hydroxybenzenemethanol

Description:

5-Chloro-2-hydroxybenzenemethanol, also known as 5-chloro-2-(hydroxymethyl)phenol, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a chlorinated phenolic structure. It features a hydroxymethyl group (-CH2OH) and a hydroxyl group (-OH) attached to a benzene ring, which contributes to its reactivity and potential applications. The chlorine atom is located at the 5-position relative to the hydroxymethyl group, influencing the compound's chemical properties and biological activity. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid and is soluble in polar solvents due to the presence of hydroxyl groups. It may exhibit antimicrobial properties, making it of interest in various fields, including pharmaceuticals and materials science. Additionally, its structure allows for potential interactions in biochemical pathways, which could be explored for therapeutic applications. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken.

5-Chlorosaligenin

CAS: 5330-38-1

5-Chlorosaligenin is a microdose form of 5-chlorosalicylate, which has been solubilized in formamide and then diluted with water. It has been shown to be effective in reducing inflammatory pain. 5-Chlorosaligenin has also been shown to have antiviral activity against human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) and influenza virus. The mechanism of action is not clear but may be due to inhibition of viral replication by interfering with the synthesis of viral nucleic acids, such as RNA and DNA.
