4-Formyl-3-hydroxybenzoic acid (4FHB) is a member of the phenylacetic acid family. It has been shown to have potential as a substrate for creatine kinase and amines, as well as an inhibitor of the enzyme. 4FHB binds to the surface of silica particles in order to enhance Raman scattering in a solid-phase synthesis. The molecular weight of 4FHB is 148 g/mol, with optical properties that can be described by fluorescence spectroscopy. 4FHB has been shown to be homochiral and tetradentate, with a magnetic resonance spectrum that can be characterized by hydroxyl group and salicylaldehyde groups.
