Description:2,4-Dichlorobenzophenone is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which consists of a benzophenone core with two chlorine substituents at the 2 and 4 positions of one of the aromatic rings. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white 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 applications in various fields, including as a UV filter in sunscreens and cosmetics, and in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. The presence of chlorine atoms enhances its photostability and reactivity, making it useful in polymer chemistry and as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Additionally, 2,4-dichlorobenzophenone may exhibit biological activity, necessitating careful handling due to potential toxicity. As with many chlorinated compounds, it is important to consider environmental and health regulations when using or disposing of this substance.
