4-Chloro-4′-methylbenzophenone

Description:
4-Chloro-4′-methylbenzophenone, with the CAS number 5395-79-9, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of benzophenones, which are known for their applications in photoprotection and as UV filters. This substance features a benzophenone structure, characterized by two phenyl rings connected by a carbonyl group, with a chlorine atom and a methyl group substituting on the para positions of the respective rings. It is typically a solid at room temperature and exhibits moderate solubility in organic solvents. The presence of the chlorine atom enhances its photostability and alters its electronic properties, making it useful in various industrial applications, including cosmetics and plastics. Additionally, 4-Chloro-4′-methylbenzophenone can absorb UV light, providing protection against UV radiation, which is beneficial in formulations designed to protect skin and materials from UV degradation. Safety data indicates that, like many organic compounds, it should be handled with care, as it may pose risks if inhaled or ingested.
