2,2'-Dichlorobenzophenone

Description:

2,2'-Dichlorobenzophenone, with the CAS number 5293-97-0, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of benzophenones, which are characterized by the presence of two phenyl rings connected by a carbonyl group. This compound features two chlorine atoms substituted at the 2-position of one of the phenyl rings, which influences its chemical properties and reactivity. It appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid and is typically insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone. 2,2'-Dichlorobenzophenone is primarily used in the production of UV filters, photoinitiators, and as an intermediate in organic synthesis. Its photochemical stability makes it valuable in various applications, including coatings and plastics. However, it is important to handle this compound with care, as it may pose health risks, including skin and eye irritation, and potential environmental hazards. Proper safety measures should be observed when working with this substance in laboratory or industrial settings.
