2-Hydroxydiphenyl ether, also known as phenyl phenyl ether or diphenyl ether with a hydroxyl group at the 2-position, is an organic compound characterized by its biphenyl structure with an ether linkage and a hydroxyl functional group. This compound typically appears as a colorless to pale yellow liquid or solid, depending on its purity and temperature. It is soluble in organic solvents but has limited solubility in water due to its hydrophobic nature. The presence of the hydroxyl group imparts some polar characteristics, allowing for potential hydrogen bonding. 2-Hydroxydiphenyl ether is often used in various applications, including as an intermediate in organic synthesis, in the production of dyes, and as a potential additive in polymer formulations. Its chemical stability and reactivity can vary based on environmental conditions, such as temperature and pH. Safety data should be consulted, as with any chemical, to understand its handling, storage, and potential hazards.
