4-Phenylphenol (4-hydroxybiphenyl, 4-HBP), a biaryl compound, is a weakly acidic 4-arylphenol. A study on its crystalline structure has been reported. Its rapid, green synthesis via a Pd(0)-catalyzed Suzuki cross-coupling reaction in water has been reported. The standard molar enthalpy of formation of 4-phenylphenol has been evaluated using combustion calorimetry. The solid-matrix luminescence properties for 4-phenylphenol adsorbed on filter paper has been investigated.A study conducted using the yeast two-hybrid assay suggests that it shows estrogenic activity. 4-Phenylphenol is a reagent used in the synthesis of pyrrolo[1,2-c]imidazole dione derivatives as selective serotonin 5-HT1A receptor agonists with antinociceptive activity.
