Product Information

• Name: 2-Amino-5-chlorobenzophenone
• Synonyms: (2-Amino-5-chlorophenyl)phenylmethanone2-Amino-5-chlorobenzylphenone2-Benzoyl-4-chloroaniline
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 2-Amino-5-chlorobenzophenone is an ecologically friendly crosslinking agent. It can be used in pharmaceutical preparations, including urine samples for the detection of urochrome and other metabolites. 2-Amino-5-chlorobenzophenone reacts with a phenolic compound via an acylation reaction to form a benzene ring. This reaction is catalyzed by hydrochloric acid and its mechanism is intramolecular hydrogen transfer from the amino group to the carbonyl group that forms a C=N bond. The reaction solution gives off a red color at this stage, which can be detected by optical sensors or by NMR spectroscopy.
