4-Hydroxybenzophenone Chemical Properties,Uses,Production

Chemical Properties

white to beige fine crystalline powder

Uses

4-Hydroxybenzophenone is used in the field of organic synthesis. It is used as pharmaceutical intermediate of clomifene citrate.

Uses

Metabolite of benzophenone.

Preparation

Preparation by condensation of benzotrichloride,
with phenol in the presence of aluminium chloride in carbon disulfide at 0° (90%) or in the presence of zinc oxide in a water bath;
with p-bromophenol in 30% sodium hydroxide solution at 80–85° (81%). There is substitution of the bromine atom by the benzoyl group.

Definition

ChEBI: 4-Hydroxybenzophenone is a member of benzophenones.
