CAS 728-81-4

3-(Trifluoromethyl)benzophenone

Description:

3-(Trifluoromethyl)benzophenone, with the CAS number 728-81-4, is an organic compound characterized by its structure, which includes a benzophenone core with a trifluoromethyl group (-CF3) positioned at the meta position of one of the phenyl rings. This compound typically appears as a white to off-white crystalline solid and is known for its significant photochemical properties, making it useful in various applications, including as a UV filter in sunscreens and as a photoinitiator in polymerization processes. The presence of the trifluoromethyl group enhances its lipophilicity and stability, contributing to its effectiveness in these applications. Additionally, 3-(Trifluoromethyl)benzophenone exhibits moderate solubility in organic solvents, while its reactivity can be influenced by the electron-withdrawing nature of the trifluoromethyl group. Safety considerations should be taken into account, as with many organic compounds, including proper handling and disposal procedures to mitigate any potential environmental or health risks.
