4-Hydroxy-α-phenylbenzenepropanoic acid

Description:
4-Hydroxy-α-phenylbenzenepropanoic acid, also known as 4-Hydroxyphenylpropanoic acid, is an organic compound characterized by its aromatic structure and the presence of both hydroxyl and carboxylic acid functional groups. It features a phenyl group attached to a propanoic acid backbone, with a hydroxyl group positioned at the para position relative to the propanoic acid. This compound is typically a white to off-white solid and is soluble in polar solvents like water and alcohols, owing to its ability to form hydrogen bonds. It exhibits properties that make it useful in various applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis and potentially in pharmaceuticals. The presence of the hydroxyl group contributes to its reactivity, allowing for further derivatization. Additionally, its structural characteristics may impart biological activity, making it of interest in medicinal chemistry. As with many organic compounds, safety precautions should be observed when handling it, as it may pose health risks if ingested or inhaled.
