3-Hydroxyphenanthrene

Description:
3-Hydroxyphenanthrene is an organic compound characterized by its phenanthrene backbone with a hydroxyl (-OH) group positioned at the 3rd carbon of the aromatic system. This compound is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) derivative, which contributes to its chemical stability and hydrophobic nature. It typically appears as a solid at room temperature and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone. The presence of the hydroxyl group introduces polar characteristics, allowing for potential hydrogen bonding interactions. 3-Hydroxyphenanthrene is of interest in various fields, including environmental chemistry, due to its relevance in the study of PAH metabolism and toxicity. It can also serve as a precursor in organic synthesis and may exhibit fluorescence properties, making it useful in analytical applications. Additionally, its behavior in biological systems and potential effects on human health are subjects of ongoing research, particularly concerning its role in the formation of reactive metabolites.
