Description

4-Benzoylanisole is a genotoxic chemical that may be carcinogenic to humans. 4-Benzoylanisole is not an antibiotic, so it does not kill bacteria; instead, it is used as a reagent in organic synthesis to produce benzocoumarins and other compounds. The compound reacts with hydrochloric acid to form a nitrosobenzene derivative. This reaction occurs through a photophysical process and the activation energies are determined by measuring the second-order rate constant for the reaction. The technique of gel permeation chromatography is used to measure the reaction products and constants. Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to 4-benzoylanisole in order to determine its carcinogenic potential.
