What is a Hydroxybenzoic acid?
Hydroxybenzoic acid is a derivative of benzoic acid, classified as an aromatic carboxylic acid where a hydroxyl group (–OH) is substituted onto the benzene ring. Its chemical formula is C₇H₆O₃. There are several isomers, primarily 2-hydroxybenzoic acid (ortho), 3-hydroxybenzoic acid (meta), and 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (para). The most well-known form is salicylic acid (2-hydroxybenzoic acid), which is used in the production of aspirin and has analgesic, antipyretic, and anti-inflammatory properties. 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (4-HBA) is commonly used in the synthesis of parabens, which are preservatives used in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.
Hydroxybenzoic acids have antioxidant and antimicrobial properties, making them useful in pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food preservatives, and as intermediates in dye and polymer production.
