Product Information

• Name: 2'-Hydroxyacetophenone
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2'-Hydroxyacetophenone is a hydroxylated acetophenone derivative. It is used in the synthesis of coumarin derivatives, which are used as pharmaceuticals and natural compounds. 2'-Hydroxyacetophenone has been found to be cytotoxic against HL-60 cells, which is a line of leukemia cells in humans. It also has anti-cancer properties that may be due to its ability to inhibit water vapor and nitrogen gas release from cervical cancer cells. The structural analysis of 2'-hydroxyacetophenone has shown that it contains an intramolecular hydrogen bond with the proton on the oxygen atom. This bond is responsible for stabilizing the molecule's structure and maintaining its 3D geometry.
