3Hydroxyphenyl
3hydroxyphenyl refers to a phenyl group substituted with a hydroxyl group at the meta position. This chemical moiety is also known as m-hydroxyphenyl. It is a structural component found in various organic molecules, including some natural products and synthetic compounds. The presence of the hydroxyl group, an oxygen atom bonded to a hydrogen atom, significantly influences the chemical properties of the phenyl ring, making it more reactive and capable of participating in hydrogen bonding.
This functional group is a common building block in organic synthesis. It can be derived from or
Compounds containing the 3hydroxyphenyl group have a range of applications. They can be found in pharmaceuticals,
