Homophthalic acid, also known as 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHBA), is a carboxylic acid that stems from benzoic acid. With a molecular formula of C8H6O4, it appears as a white crystalline solid. In scientific research, homophthalic acid is employed for multiple purposes, such as the synthesis of organic compounds, the exploration of enzyme-catalyzed reactions, and the investigation of biological processes like signal transduction. Functionally, homophthalic acid acts as a proton acceptor, actively participating in biochemical reactions. It plays a role in the formation of hydrogen bonds and other interactions with proteins and other molecules. Additionally, homophthalic acid can exhibit catalytic properties, enabling the oxidation of other compounds.
