  7. It is light pigment, medicine, perfume, pesticides intermediates, it can also be used for UV-curable resins, inks and coatings initiator.

indicator

Benzophenone is widely used in the synthesis experiment as an indicator, it can be used as a indicator while handling toluene, benzene, THF, acetonitrile ect.; if there is a beautiful blue after added, it can be distillated and used, it is the best to kept in sodium, but the reason of generating blue is still a puzzle.
Here is the reason from a foreign book about reactions mechanism : a radical anion generated by the one called carbonyl radical, benzophenone acts as the indicator is that benzophenone oxygen atoms in sodium capture electrons to generate dark blue carbonyl radical; the radicals perspective on the electrical aspect is stable, mainly used to indicate 'anaerobic conditions',Widely used.
After the addition of benzophenone, more blue of the solution, indicating less oxygen in the solution, indirectly instructing the little water. However, whether the solution turns blue, is related to the added amount of benzophenone and processing solvent, THF (300ml) contains lots of water, and needs more than about 6 hours to reflux, and of course, it is related to the amount of processing solvent, the more the longer, toluene , benzene and other samples containing less aqueous need less reflux time, it is best to add the common desiccants to pretreat, such as: potassium carbonate, sodium sulfate, sodium hydroxide, etc., so that the processing time will be shortened.

Toxicity

Production method

There are different methods for synthesizing benzophenone. One method involves condensing benzyl chloride and benzene, followed by oxidation with nitric acid. Another method involves condensing benzene and carbon tetrachloride, followed by hydrolysis. In laboratory production, benzophenone is typically synthesized using aluminum chloride as a catalyst, with benzene reacting with benzoyl chloride. The final method involves condensing benzene and benzoyl chloride in the presence of aluminum chloride, followed by crystallization from ethanol.

Chemical Properties

Benzophenone is a combustible, white, crystalline solid with a rose-like odor. soluble in ethanol, ether, chloroform and other organic solvents and monomers, insoluble in water. It is a free radical photoinitiator, mainly used in free radical UV curing systems, such as coatings, inks, adhesives, etc. It can be prepared in several ways, for example, by Friedel–Crafts reaction of benzene and benzoyl chloride with aluminum chloride, or of benzene and carbon tetrachloride, and oxidation of diphenylmethane.

Occurrence

Benzophenone has been found in various fruits, including Vitis vinifera L., black tea, cherimoya (Annona cherimola), mountain papaya (Carica pubescens), and soursop (Annona muricata L.).

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 .

Definition

ChEBI: Benzophenone is the simplest member of the class of benzophenones, being formaldehyde in which both hydrogens are replaced by phenyl groups. It has a role as a photosensitizing agent and a plant metabolite.

General Description

Benzophenone(119-61-9) appears as white solid with a flowery odor. May float or sink in water. It is a widely used building block in organic chemistry, being the parent diarylketone.

Air & Water Reactions

Insoluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

Ketones, such as Benzophenone, are reactive with many acids and bases liberating heat and flammable gases (e.g., H2). The amount of heat may be sufficient to start a fire in the unreacted portion of the ketone. Ketones react with reducing agents such as hydrides, alkali metals, and nitrides to produce flammable gas (H2) and heat. Ketones are incompatible with isocyanates, aldehydes, cyanides, peroxides, and anhydrides. They react violently with aldehydes, HNO3, HNO3 + H2O2, and HClO4. Benzophenone can react with oxidizing materials.

Health Hazard

Ingestion causes gastrointestinal disturbances. Contact causes eye irritation and, if prolonged, irritation of skin.

Fire Hazard

Flash point data for Benzophenone are not available, but Benzophenone is probably combustible.

Contact allergens

Unsubstituted benzophenone is largely used in chemical applications. It acts as a marker for photoallergy to ketoprofen.

Safety Profile

Moderately toxic by ingestion andintraperitoneal routes. Combustible when heated.Incompatible with oxidizers. When heated todecomposition it emits acrid and irritating fumes.

Potential Exposure

Benzophenone is used in UV curing of inks and coatings; as an intermediate; as an odor fixative in fragrances, flavoring, soaps; in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals and insecticides; in organic syntheses.

First aid

If this chemical gets into the eyes, remove anycontact lenses at once and irrigate immediately for at least15 min, occasionally lifting upper and lower lids. Seekmedical attention immediately.

Transferpromptly to a medical facility. When this chemical hasbeen swallowed, rinse mouth and get medical attention.

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.

Metabolism

Benzophenone's main metabolic pathway in the rabbit is by reduction to benzhydrol, which is excreted conjugated with glucuronic acid(Williams, 1959).
