Product Information

• Name: 4-Benzyloxychlorobenzene
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 4-Benzyloxychlorobenzene is a synthetic compound that can be used as a chemical intermediate for the synthesis of other organic compounds. It has been shown to have no direct effect on melanogenesis in vitro, but it does interact with tyrosinase by displacing an electron from one of its benzyl groups and transferring it to another molecule. This reaction requires molecular electrostatic potentials that are mediated by the benzyl group, which is why 4-benzyloxychlorobenzene is often used in research as a chemical intermediate. The rate of this reaction increases with the formation of dihedral angles between molecules, which are facilitated by the functional groups present in both molecules.
