[1,1'-Biphenyl]-4-sulfonamide,4'-(hydroxymethyl)-

Description:

[1,1'-Biphenyl]-4-sulfonamide, 4'-(hydroxymethyl)- is an organic compound characterized by its biphenyl structure, which consists of two phenyl rings connected by a single bond. The presence of a sulfonamide group (-SO2NH2) at one position and a hydroxymethyl group (-CH2OH) at the para position of one of the phenyl rings contributes to its chemical reactivity and potential applications. This compound is likely to exhibit properties typical of sulfonamides, such as antibacterial activity, and may also participate in hydrogen bonding due to the hydroxymethyl group. Its solubility in polar solvents can be attributed to the presence of the hydroxymethyl and sulfonamide functionalities. The compound's molecular structure suggests it may be useful in pharmaceutical applications or as a building block in organic synthesis. As with many sulfonamides, it may also exhibit specific biological activities, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry. Safety and handling precautions should be observed, as with all chemical substances, due to potential toxicity or reactivity.
