CAS 21222-05-9: 3,3′-Dinitrobenzophenone
Description:3,3′-Dinitrobenzophenone is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which consists of a benzophenone core substituted with two nitro groups at the 3-position of the phenyl rings. This compound typically appears as a yellow crystalline solid and is known for its relatively high melting point. It is sparingly soluble in water but more soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone. The presence of nitro groups imparts significant electron-withdrawing properties, influencing its reactivity and making it useful in various chemical applications, including as a photoinitiator in polymerization processes and as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Additionally, 3,3′-Dinitrobenzophenone exhibits potential biological activity, which has been explored in various studies. However, due to its nitro groups, it may also pose environmental and health risks, necessitating careful handling and disposal. As with many nitro compounds, it is important to consider its stability and potential for explosive decomposition under certain conditions.
