Synthesis and Application of Benzophenone
Benzophenone is an organic compound with the molecular formula (C6H5)2C=O, which can be abbreviated as Ph2CO. Diphenyl ketone, as the nucleus of diaryl ketone, is an important synthetic intermediate in organic chemistry. use Benzophenone can be used as a photoinitiator for UV curing of varnishes in the ink, imaging and printing industries. Diphenyl ketone prevents the damaging effects of UV light on fragrances or colorants in products such as perfumes and soaps. It can also be added to plastic bags as a UV shielding agent. By using benzophenone, manufacturers can dispense the product into clear glass bottles or plastic. If benzophenone is not available, opaque or black outer packaging is required. synthesis Diphenyl ketone can be prepared by reacting benzene with carbon tetrachloride to obtain diphenyl dichloromethane, and then continue to undergo hydrolysis reaction.
