General description
4-Hydroxybenzyl alcohol (HBA) is a phenolic compound found in Gastrodia elata. It is an antioxidant and anti-asthmatic agent.HBA can also be used as a precursor to synthesize hydrogen peroxide-responsive copolyoxalate nanoparticles and polymers.
Application
4-Hydroxybenzyl alcohol can be used as a precursor for the synthesis of:
- HBA-incorporated copolyoxalate (HPOX) nanoparticles as potential drug delivery system.
- Poly(4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol) by enzyme catalyzed reaction.
- 4-Hydroxybenzyl imidazole derivatives.
