4-Hydroxybenzophenone Chemical Properties,Uses,Production

Chemical Properties

white to beige fine crystalline powder

Uses

Metabolite of benzophenone.

Uses

4-Hydroxybenzophenone is used in the field of organic synthesis. It is used as pharmaceutical intermediate of clomifene citrate.

Definition

ChEBI: 4-Hydroxybenzophenone is a member of benzophenones.

Preparation

Preparation by condensation of benzotrichloride,
with phenol in the presence of aluminium chloride in carbon disulfide at 0° (90%) or in the presence of zinc oxide in a water bath;
with p-bromophenol in 30% sodium hydroxide solution at 80–85° (81%). There is substitution of the bromine atom by the benzoyl group.
