4-Amino-4'-hydroxybenzophenone

Description:

4-Amino-4'-hydroxybenzophenone, also known as benzophenone-4 or BP-4, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which features a benzophenone core with amino and hydroxy functional groups. This compound typically appears as a solid or crystalline substance and is soluble in organic solvents while exhibiting limited solubility in water. It is primarily used as a UV filter in sunscreens and cosmetic formulations, providing protection against harmful ultraviolet radiation. The presence of the amino and hydroxy groups enhances its ability to absorb UV light, making it effective in preventing skin damage. Additionally, 4-Amino-4'-hydroxybenzophenone may exhibit antioxidant properties, contributing to its stability in formulations. Safety assessments indicate that it has a low toxicity profile, although it is essential to consider potential allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Overall, this compound plays a significant role in photoprotection and is widely utilized in the cosmetic and personal care industries.

4-Amino-4'-hydroxybenzophenone

CAS: 14963-34-9

4-Amino-4'-hydroxybenzophenone is a benzophenone with a hydroxyl group in the ortho position. It has absorption spectra that are similar to those of benzene, but it is less soluble in solvents and more soluble in water. The molecule has two possible conformations, both of which have an equilibrium constant (K) of 10. The two conformations can interconvert by rotation about the C=C bond, which is referred to as torsion. This conformational change in the molecule alters its light absorption properties.
