2,5-Dihydroxyterephthalic acid is a white crystalline solid soluble in hot water and most organic solvents. It is a weak acid that reacts with alkalis to form corresponding salts. It is stable in air but decomposes upon exposure to light. 2,5- Dihydroxyterephthalic acid has multiple applications in the chemical industry. It serves as a starting material for synthesizing dyes and pigments, such as producing vivid colors and lightfast heterocyclic pyrrole dyes.
It is also used in synthesizing polyester resins for manufacturing plastics, coatings, and fibers.
2,5-Dihydroxyterephthalic acid also serves as an important coordination ligand.
