CAS 117-99-7: 2-Hydroxybenzophenone

2-Hydroxybenzophenone is a phenolic compound that has been used as an intermediate in the production of other organic compounds. It is also used to study the reaction mechanism of 2-hydroxylation reactions and protonation reactions. Protonation of 2-hydroxybenzophenone with calcium stearate yields calcium 2,2'-dihydroxybenzoate, which is then hydrolyzed to release hydrogen gas. The hydroxyl group on the benzene ring coordinates with the phosphate group on phosphite to form a hydrogen bond. This process can be catalyzed by sodium carbonate. The uv absorption spectra show two maxima at 254 and 280 nm due to the presence of both hydroxyl groups and carbonyl groups.

2-Hydroxybenzophenone

2-Hydroxybenzophenone was used to quantify the metabolites of unmethylated extracts from the supernatants of Pseudomonas acidovorans cultures grown on 1,1-diphenylethylene. It reacts with 3-aminophenyl boronic acid to form macrocyclic boronates. 2-Hydroxybenzophenone forms copolymer 2-hydroxy, 3-allyl, 4,4?-dimethoxybenzophenone with methyl methacrylate.
