Description:4-Hydroxy-3-nitrobenzoic acid, with the CAS number 616-82-0, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both hydroxyl (-OH) and nitro (-NO2) functional groups attached to a benzoic acid structure. This compound typically appears as a yellow crystalline solid and is soluble in polar solvents such as water and alcohols, owing to its ability to form hydrogen bonds. The hydroxyl group contributes to its acidity, while the nitro group can influence its reactivity and stability. It is often used in various chemical syntheses and as an intermediate in the production of dyes, pharmaceuticals, and agrochemicals. The presence of the nitro group also makes it a potential candidate for further chemical modifications, such as reduction or substitution reactions. Additionally, 4-Hydroxy-3-nitrobenzoic acid may exhibit biological activity, which can be of interest in medicinal chemistry and research applications. Proper handling and safety measures should be observed due to its chemical properties and potential toxicity.
