4-(Hydroxymethyl)phenylacetic acid

Description:

4-(Hydroxymethyl)phenylacetic acid, with the CAS number 73401-74-8, is an organic compound characterized by its phenylacetic acid structure, which features a hydroxymethyl group attached to the para position of the phenyl ring. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid and is soluble in polar solvents such as water and alcohols, owing to the presence of both hydrophobic and hydrophilic functional groups. It exhibits acidic properties due to the carboxylic acid group, allowing it to participate in various chemical reactions, including esterification and amidation. The hydroxymethyl group can serve as a site for further functionalization, making it a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis. Additionally, this compound may have applications in pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and as a building block in the synthesis of more complex molecules. Its stability and reactivity can be influenced by environmental factors such as pH and temperature, which are important considerations in its handling and storage.

4-(Hydroxymethyl)phenylacetic acid

CAS: 73401-74-8

4-(Hydroxymethyl)phenylacetic acid is an intermediate in the biosynthetic pathway of phenylpropanoids. It is a metabolite of several flavonoids and is found in plants, animals, and humans. 4-(Hydroxymethyl)phenylacetic acid has been shown to have a high concentration in human serum and plasma with low toxicity. This metabolite has been shown to be stable when complexed with collagen or other proteins, which may be due to its insolubility. 4-(Hydroxymethyl)phenylacetic acid can also be biotransformed by microflora into other metabolites such as 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, which is a precursor of salicylic acid.
