2,3,4-Trihydroxydiphenylmethane, with the CAS number 17345-66-3, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which features a central methylene group (–CH2–) bonded to two phenolic rings, each substituted with hydroxyl (–OH) groups at the 2, 3, and 4 positions. This compound is a derivative of diphenylmethane and exhibits properties typical of phenolic compounds, including potential antioxidant activity due to the presence of multiple hydroxyl groups. It is soluble in organic solvents and may have limited solubility in water, depending on the pH and temperature. The presence of multiple hydroxyl groups enhances its reactivity, making it useful in various chemical applications, including as a building block in organic synthesis and potentially in the development of dyes or pharmaceuticals. Additionally, its structural features may contribute to its ability to form hydrogen bonds, influencing its physical properties and interactions with other molecules. As with many organic compounds, safety data should be consulted for handling and usage guidelines.

2,3,4-Trihydroxydiphenylmethane (THDM) is a compound that is able to scavenge free radicals. It inhibits α-amylase activity in the pancreas and may prevent or delay the onset of diabetes. THDM also has been shown to have anti-inflammatory and anticarcinogenic properties. In addition, it can be used as a synthetic precursor for the production of other compounds, such as resorcinols and benzyl ethers. The yields of these products are increased when THDM is used as an intermediate. This product can react with amines to form amides and condense with alcohols to form esters.
