Chemical Structure

Basic Info
2 4-Dihydroxybenzophenone, abbreviated as 2,4-DHBP, is a crucial organic substance and a by-product of benzophenone, with considerable UV absorption homes.
The molecular formula of 2 4-Dihydroxybenzophenone is C ₁ ∝ H ₁₀ O3, with a molecular weight of 214.22 g/mol. It generally looks like a white to light yellow crystalline powder. The framework of 2 4-Dihydroxybenzophenonecontains two hydroxyl teams, which makes it show solid absorption capability in the ultraviolet region. The melting point of 2 4-Dihydroxybenzophenone is between 144-148 ° C, and it is easily soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone, but its solubility in water is relatively low.
The melting point of 2 4-Dihydroxybenzophenone is 142.6-144.6 ℃. The solubility at 25 ℃ (g/100ml solvent) is: acetone > 50, benzene 1, ethanol > 50, water< 0.5, n-hexane< 0.5.
In commercial applications, 2 4-Dihydroxybenzophenone is generally used as a UV absorber and is extensively utilized in fields such as plastics, finishes, adhesives, and sunscreen cosmetics.
2 4-Dihydroxybenzophenone can properly absorb UVA and UVB ultraviolet rays, protecting against the material from aging, yellowing, or deterioration due to light exposure.
Additionally, 2 4-Dihydroxybenzophenone can additionally be utilized as a pharmaceutical intermediate, involved in the synthesis of certain medicines, or as a building block in natural chemistry for the prep work of even more facility particles such as fluorescent dyes and liquid crystal materials.
