phydroxyaniline

Phydroxyaniline, also known as 4-hydroxyaniline, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C6H7NO. It is a derivative of aniline, where a hydroxyl group (-OH) is substituted at the para position (4th position) of the benzene ring. Phydroxyaniline is a white crystalline solid that is soluble in water and most organic solvents. It is commonly used as a precursor in the synthesis of various dyes, pharmaceuticals, and other organic compounds. The compound is also known for its antioxidant properties and has been studied for its potential applications in medicine and materials science. Phydroxyaniline can be synthesized through various chemical reactions, including the nitration of aniline followed by reduction, or through the hydrolysis of 4-nitroaniline. It is important to handle phydroxyaniline with care due to its potential toxicity, and appropriate safety measures should be taken when working with this compound.
