4-(2,3-Dihydroxy-5-methylphenoxy)-2-hydroxy-6-methylbenzoic acid

Description:

4-(2,3-Dihydroxy-5-methylphenoxy)-2-hydroxy-6-methylbenzoic acid, with the CAS number 627545-07-7, is a chemical compound characterized by its complex structure, which includes multiple hydroxyl groups and a benzoic acid moiety. This compound features a phenolic structure, contributing to its potential antioxidant properties. The presence of multiple hydroxyl groups enhances its solubility in polar solvents and may influence its reactivity and interaction with biological systems. It is likely to exhibit acidic behavior due to the carboxylic acid functional group, which can donate protons in solution. The methyl groups in the structure may provide steric hindrance, affecting its binding interactions and overall biological activity. This compound may be of interest in pharmaceutical research, particularly in the development of therapeutic agents, due to its potential bioactivity. However, specific applications and biological effects would require further investigation through experimental studies.
