4-Hydroxybenzothiophene, with the CAS number 3610-02-4, is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a benzothiophene core, which consists of a fused benzene ring and a thiophene ring, along with a hydroxyl (-OH) group attached to the benzene ring. This compound typically exhibits properties associated with both aromatic and heterocyclic compounds, including stability and potential reactivity due to the hydroxyl group. The presence of the thiophene ring contributes to its electronic properties, making it useful in various applications, including organic electronics and as a potential building block in the synthesis of more complex molecules. 4-Hydroxybenzothiophene may also exhibit interesting solubility characteristics, depending on the solvent used, and can participate in hydrogen bonding due to the hydroxyl group. Its chemical behavior can be influenced by factors such as pH and the presence of other functional groups in a reaction environment. Overall, this compound is of interest in both synthetic organic chemistry and materials science.

Benzo[b]thiophen-4-ol

Benzo[b]thiophen-4-ol is a naturally occurring compound that is found in plants. It has antibacterial activity against bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli. Benzo[b]thiophen-4-ol inhibits the growth of these bacteria by acetylation, which prevents the formation of bacterial cell walls. Acetylation also causes an acidic environment that inhibits bacterial growth. The hypoglycemic effect of benzo[b]thiophen-4-ol may be due to its inhibition of furanoflavonoids and flavonoids, which are substances that promote insulin secretion. This compound also shows some antioxidant properties.
