Description:4-Nitrobenzophenone is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which consists of a benzophenone core substituted with a nitro group at the para position of one of the phenyl rings. This compound typically appears as a yellow crystalline solid and is known for its moderate solubility in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone, while being less soluble in water. It has a melting point that is generally in the range of 50-60 degrees Celsius. 4-Nitrobenzophenone is primarily utilized in organic synthesis and as a photoinitiator in polymer chemistry due to its ability to absorb ultraviolet light. Additionally, it exhibits properties that make it useful in the production of dyes and pigments. The presence of the nitro group contributes to its reactivity, allowing for further chemical modifications. As with many nitro compounds, it should be handled with care due to potential toxicity and environmental concerns. Proper safety measures should be observed when working with this substance in laboratory settings.
