Product Information

• Name: 1,1-Diphenylacetone
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 1,1-Diphenylacetone is a molecule that belongs to the group of aromatic hydrocarbons. It has two functional groups, a carbonyl group and a diphenyl ether. 1,1-Diphenylacetone can be synthesized by reacting benzene with acetone in the presence of sodium hydroxide. The molecule fluoresces with a short lifetime and has been used as a corrosion inhibitor for metals such as copper and aluminum. 1,1-Diphenylacetone has also been used to synthesize polymers via free radical polymerization or copolymerization reactions. X-ray structures have shown that 1,1-diphenylacetone binds to metal ions such as copper or silver ions. This binding causes light emission when the metal ion is excited by an external source such as x-rays or visible light.
