3,4-Dimethoxybenzophenone

Description:

3,4-Dimethoxybenzophenone, with the CAS number 4038-14-6, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of benzophenones, which are characterized by their two aromatic rings connected by a carbonyl group. This compound features two methoxy (-OCH₃) groups positioned at the 3 and 4 positions of one of the aromatic rings, contributing to its chemical properties and reactivity. It is typically a white to pale yellow solid with a moderate melting point and is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone, but has limited solubility in water. 3,4-Dimethoxybenzophenone is primarily used as a UV filter in various applications, including cosmetics and plastics, due to its ability to absorb ultraviolet light and protect materials from photodegradation. Additionally, it may exhibit potential biological activities, making it of interest in pharmaceutical research. As with many organic compounds, handling should be done with care, following appropriate safety guidelines to minimize exposure and environmental impact.
