Description

Biphenyl, also known as BP and phenylbenzene, is a molecule formed by the union of two benzene rings, and belongs to the family of benzenoids. This aromatic compound has a wide range of applications such as dye carriers, food preservatives, pesticides and as a building block for functionalized materials. In organic synthesis, biphenyl is often used to provide the aromatic moiety to many active pharmaceutical compounds as antimicrobials and antifungals, among others. In recent studies, biphenyl is used for the synthesis of new antibiotics as well as analogs of existing ones. These compounds aim to fight against multi-drug resistant bacteria and help evading the resistance mechanisms.
