2,4,4'-Trimethoxybenzophenone

Description:
2,4,4'-Trimethoxybenzophenone, with the CAS number 4038-15-7, is an organic compound belonging to the class of benzophenones, which are known for their applications in UV filtering and as photoinitiators in polymer chemistry. This compound features a central benzophenone structure with three methoxy (-OCH3) groups attached to the aromatic rings, specifically at the 2, 4, and 4' positions. It is typically a white to light yellow crystalline solid with moderate solubility in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone, but limited solubility in water. The presence of methoxy groups enhances its UV-absorbing properties, making it effective in protecting materials from photodegradation. Additionally, 2,4,4'-Trimethoxybenzophenone exhibits good thermal stability, which is advantageous in various industrial applications. Its chemical structure allows for potential use in cosmetics, plastics, and coatings, where UV protection is essential. As with many organic compounds, handling should be done with care, following appropriate safety guidelines to mitigate any health risks associated with exposure.
