Description
General description
2-Hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone (benzophenone-3) is commonly employed as a broad-band UV-filter in sunscreen cosmetic products. It protects skin from the deleterious effects of the sun.[1] It is one of the sunscreen constituent and its trace determination in water samples by solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and gas chromatography with flame ionization and mass spectrometric detection has been reported.[2]
Application
2-Hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone may be used in the following studies:
- Synthesis of as poly[(2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzophenone) propylene] (HMBP-PD), a polymeric ligand (resin) used for the synthesis of metal/ligand polychelates (metal-polymer complexes).[3]
- Analytical reagent for the gravimetric determination of Cu(II).[4]
