3-Methoxybenzophenone

Description:
3-Methoxybenzophenone, with the CAS number 6136-67-0, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of benzophenones, which are known for their applications in UV filtration and as intermediates in organic synthesis. This compound features a benzophenone structure with a methoxy group (-OCH3) positioned at the meta position relative to the carbonyl group. It is typically a white to pale yellow crystalline solid with moderate solubility in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone, but limited solubility in water. 3-Methoxybenzophenone exhibits UV-absorbing properties, making it useful in cosmetic formulations and plastics to protect against UV radiation. Additionally, it may serve as a photoinitiator in polymerization processes. The compound's stability and reactivity can be influenced by the presence of the methoxy group, which can affect its electronic properties and interactions with other substances. Safety data should be consulted for handling and exposure guidelines, as with any chemical substance.
