Applications
Description4-Hydroxyphenylacetic acid is an acetate derivative used in the acylation of phenols and amines1. It is an active component of Chinese herb Aster tataricus which had been widely used in China for the treatment of pulmonary diseases, HBV, and carcinoma. It is an active metabolite of amino acid metabolism. Study has also shown that it can attenuate inflammation and edema through suppressing hypertonic and hypoxic induction of HIF-1α in seawater aspiration-induced lung injury in rats. In chemical industry, it is an intermediate used to synthesize atenolol and 3, 4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid.
UsesIt is used as a reagent in the acylation of phenols and amines. It is also used for fluorometric determination of oxidative enzymes.
UsesA compound present in olive oil. An important fine chemical intermediate with broad prospects for application development.
Preparation methods
Preparation4-Hydroxyphenylacetic acid is synthesized by diazotization and hydrolysis of 4-aminophenylacetic acid. 4-aminophenylacetic acid and alkali solution are prepared into sodium salt, and then sulfuric acid is added. Cool to 0°C, control the temperature at 0-5°C, and add sodium nitrate solution dropwise, and the reaction is completed for 0.5h. The obtained diazonium was added dropwise to dilute sulfuric acid at 90-95°C for about 1 hour, and the reaction was continued for 1 hour. The reaction solution was decolorized and filtered, cooled and extracted with ethyl acetate, and the extract was recovered with ethyl acetate to obtain 4-Hydroxyphenylacetic acid. The yield is about 85%.
