Benzoic acid, 5-hydroxy-2-iodo- (CAS 57772-57-3) is an organic compound characterized by the presence of a benzoic acid moiety with a hydroxyl group and an iodine atom substituted at specific positions on the benzene ring. This compound typically exhibits properties associated with both benzoic acids and halogenated aromatic compounds. It is likely to be a white to off-white solid at room temperature, with moderate solubility in polar solvents such as water due to the presence of the hydroxyl group, which can engage in hydrogen bonding. The iodine substitution can influence its reactivity, making it a potential candidate for various chemical reactions, including electrophilic aromatic substitution. Additionally, the presence of the hydroxyl group may impart some degree of acidity, although the overall acidity can be affected by the electron-withdrawing nature of the iodine atom. This compound may find applications in organic synthesis, pharmaceuticals, or as an intermediate in the production of other chemical entities. Safety and handling precautions should be observed due to the potential reactivity of halogenated compounds.

5-Hydroxy-2-iodobenzoic acid

2-Iodo-5-hydroxybenzoic acid, also called iodoquinol, is a chemical compound that is used as an antiseptic and disinfectant. It is produced by the reaction of vinyl alcohol with iodine in the presence of a catalytic amount of potassium hydroxide. Iodoquinol is highly hydrophobic and insoluble in water. The mechanism of action of iodoquinol is not well understood but it has been shown to react with an enzyme or enzyme substrate, resulting in inhibition of the reaction system.
