Product Description:

4,4'-Dihydroxybenzophenone is an organic compound featuring a benzophenone core with hydroxyl groups at the para positions of both phenyl rings. It is a white to light yellow crystalline powder with a molecular formula of C13H10O3. This compound serves as a crucial intermediate and monomer in material science. Its primary application is as a key building block for synthesizing ultraviolet (UV) absorbers and light stabilizers, which are essential polymer additives used in plastics, coatings, and films to prevent photodegradation. Furthermore, it is a fundamental precursor for the synthesis of various organic optoelectronic materials, including those used in organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) and other advanced photonic applications. Due to its bifunctional phenolic structure, it is also employed as a cross-linking agent in epoxy resins and other polymers. As a versatile synthon, it finds use in organic synthesis for constructing more complex molecular architectures.
