2-Hydroxy-5-methoxybenzophenone

Description:

2-Hydroxy-5-methoxybenzophenone, also known by its CAS number 14770-96-8, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of benzophenones. It is characterized by the presence of both hydroxyl (-OH) and methoxy (-OCH3) functional groups attached to a benzophenone backbone, which contributes to its properties as a UV filter and light stabilizer. This compound typically appears as a crystalline solid and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone, but has limited solubility in water. Its molecular structure allows it to absorb ultraviolet light, making it useful in various applications, including cosmetics, plastics, and coatings, where it helps to prevent degradation from UV exposure. Additionally, 2-Hydroxy-5-methoxybenzophenone exhibits antioxidant properties, which can further enhance its utility in protecting materials from oxidative damage. Safety data indicates that, like many organic compounds, it should be handled with care, as it may pose risks if ingested or if it comes into contact with skin.
