Descriptionp-Hydroxyphenylacetic acid, also known as 4-hydroxybenzeneacetate or parahydroxy phenylacetate, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as 1-hydroxy-2-unsubstituted benzenoids. These are phenols that are unsubstituted at the 2-position. p-Hydroxyphenylacetic acid is an extremely weak basic (essentially neutral) compound (based on its pKa). p-Hydroxyphenylacetic acid exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. p-Hydroxyphenylacetic acid is a potentially toxic compound.
