2-Aminophenol is an aromatic amine and phenol derivative, combining both hydroxyl and amino functional groups on a benzene ring. This dual reactivity makes it a versatile intermediate in the manufacture of dyes, hair colorants, pharmaceuticals, and photographic developers. It is typically supplied as an off-white to gray powder and is suitable for synthesis-grade applications
