BENZOPHENONE OXIME
BENZOPHENONE OXIME
Benzophenone is the organic compound with the formula (C6H5)2CO, generally abbreviated Ph2CO. It is a white solid that is soluble in organic solvents. Benzophenone is a widely used building block in organic chemistry, being the parent diarylketone.
BENZOPHENONE OXIME a reagent for the colorimetric determination of urea and ureido compounds. Oxime is used as a ligand in transition-metal complex catalyst chemistry. Oxime acts as an antioxidant, radical scavenger which find applications in textile, plastic, paint, detergent, and rubber industry.
Benzophenone is used as an ultraviolet (UV)-curing agent in sunglasses, ... and was approximately 70% of the dose applied to occluded skin within 24 hours.
Oximes are usually generated by the reaction of hydroxylamine with aldehydes or ketones. The term oxime dates back to the 19th century, a combination of the words oxygen and imine.
