α-Hydroxybenzenepropanamide, also known as 2-Hydroxy-3-phenylpropanamide, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of both hydroxyl (-OH) and amide (-CONH2) functional groups. This compound features a benzene ring attached to a propanamide chain, with the hydroxyl group positioned on the second carbon of the propanamide. It is typically a white to off-white solid at room temperature and is soluble in polar solvents due to the presence of the hydroxyl group, which can engage in hydrogen bonding. The compound exhibits properties typical of both phenolic and amide functionalities, making it potentially useful in various chemical reactions, including those involving nucleophilic substitutions and condensation reactions. Its structural features may also confer biological activity, making it of interest in pharmaceutical research. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as with any chemical substance, to ensure proper precautions are taken during its use in laboratory or industrial settings.

<p>2-Hydroxy-3-phenylpropanamide is a fatty acid that has been shown to have radical scavenging activity. It is an omega-3 fatty acid, which means it has the first double bond at the third carbon from the methyl end of the molecule. 2-Hydroxy-3-phenylpropanamide also has a phenolic group, which is a type of chemical group with one or more hydroxyl (-OH) groups attached to an aromatic hydrocarbon ring. This compound may be selective for substrate, as it does not react with carboxylic acids or amides. 2-Hydoxy-3-phenylpropanamide's unsaturated aliphatic chain makes it susceptible to oxidation and can lead to the formation of carboxylic acids and aldehydes, which are reactive molecules.</p>
