5-Quinolinesulfonic acid, 8-hydroxy-, dihydrate

Description:

5-Quinolinesulfonic acid, 8-hydroxy-, dihydrate is an organic compound characterized by its quinoline structure, which features a sulfonic acid group and a hydroxyl group at specific positions on the ring. This compound is typically a white to off-white crystalline solid and is soluble in water due to the presence of the sulfonic acid group, which enhances its hydrophilicity. The dihydrate form indicates that it contains two molecules of water per molecule of the compound, which can influence its physical properties and stability. It is often used in various chemical applications, including as a reagent in organic synthesis and in the preparation of dyes and pharmaceuticals. The presence of both the sulfonic acid and hydroxyl groups allows for potential interactions in biochemical processes, making it of interest in research and industrial applications. Safety data should be consulted for handling, as with all chemical substances, to ensure proper precautions are taken.
