Production method |
There are different methods. 1. Condensation of benzyl chloride and benzene , and then by nitric acid oxidation. 2. The condensation of benzene and carbon tetrachloride, and then by hydrolysis. In the laboratory, the production is based on aluminum chloride as a catalyst, prepared by reacting benzene with benzoyl chloride.3.Condensation of benzene and benzoyl chloride in the presence of aluminum chloride, and then crystallized from ethanol. |
Chemical Properties |
Orange Crystals |
Chemical Properties |
Benzophenone is a combustible, white, crystalline solid with a rose-like odor |
Uses |
It is used in the manufacturing of antihistamines, hypnotics, insecticides. |
Uses |
Reported to bind monsaccharides in the presence of polysaccharides |
Uses |
Benzophenone is used as a synthetic intermediate for manufacture of pharmaceuticals and agricultural chemicals. It is also used as a photoinitiator in UV-curable printing inks, as a fragrance in perfumes, as a flavor enhancer in foods. Benzophenone can be added as a UV-absorbing agent to plastics, lacquers, and coatings at concentrations of 2–8%. |
Production Methods |
Benzophenone is commercially synthesized by the atmospheric oxidation of diphenylmethane using a catalyst of copper naphthenate. Alternatively, it can be produced by a Friedel–Crafts acylation of benzene using either benzoyl chloride or phosgene in the presence of aluminum chloride . |
Preparation |
By Friedel–Craft condensation of benzene with benzoyl chloride in the presence of aluminum chloride. |
Carcinogenicity |
Lifetime dermal carcinogenicity studies in mice and rabbits did not show any tumor excess in the treated animals. Female Swiss mice and New Zealand White rabbits of both sexes were treated dermally with 0, 5, 25, or 50% of benzophenone (0.02 mL) twice a week for 120 or 180 weeks. Weekly examination of the rabbits did not reveal any reduction in survival or appearance of tumors. Mice treated with benzophenone did not show any excess in the number of tumor-bearing animals or in total number of tumors compared to untreated control animals. Although three skin tumors were observed in the benzophenone- treated mice (one case of squamous cell carcinoma and two cases of squamous cell papilloma), there were also three tumors (one carcinoma and toe papillomas) observed in the control animals. |
