Benzoylcyclohexane Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

white to yellowish crystalline solid

Uses

Cyclohexyl phenyl ketone was used to investigate the crosslinked cyclohexyl phenyl compounds under thermal and aquathermal conditions. It was used to examine the effects of molecular changes in the benzophenone molecule on phototoxic behavior.
