Description

4,4'-Dimethoxybenzophenone is a process optimization agent that can be used to measure the concentration of basic proteins in human serum. It is also used as a chemical intermediate in the production of polymers. In this application, 4,4'-dimethoxybenzophenone undergoes an irreversible oxidation reaction with trifluoroacetic acid to form 4-methoxybenzoic acid and hydrogen peroxide. The linear model for this reaction has been shown to be:
The rate of the reaction depends on the concentration of homogeneous catalysts, such as metal surfaces or hydrogen bonds.
