2-(4-Hydroxybenzoyl)benzoic acid (HBBA) is an activated ester that can be used as a precursor for the synthesis of pharmaceuticals. It has been used in the clinical development of drugs such as anti-inflammatory agents, antibiotics, and anticancer compounds. HBBA can be synthesized by acylation of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid with an appropriate carboxylic acid via a dehydration reaction. This reaction requires high temperatures and acidic catalysts. The product is then purified to remove any residual acid catalyst and other impurities. 2-(4-Hydoxybenzoyl)benzoic acid has been shown to react with nucleophiles such as amines and alcohols, providing fluorescent compounds when reacted with diazonium salts or phthalazinone respectively.
