Benzophenone oxime by Research Lab Fine Chem Industries is a high grade reagent. This compound is derived from Phenyl ketone, an organic compound which is a diarylketone. The reagent is available as a white powder which is slightly soluble in water. It has a melting point of 59 61 C. While this reagent is stable under general conditions, it is incompatible with strong oxidizing agents. Benzophenone oxime can be prepared by treating an aqueous alcoholic mixture of benzophenone and hydroxylamine hydrochloride with hydrochloric acid. CAS No.: 574-66-3 Quantity Provided: 5 gm per bottle Molecular formula: C13H11NO Molecular weight: 197.24 Assay: minimum 97 %Benzophenone oxime has a variety of applications in chemical and biological sectors. This reagent is involved in the organic synthesis of a variety of intermediates. Benzophenone is used as a photo initiator in UV-curing applications which include inks, imaging, and clear coatings in the printing industry. Addition of benzophenone to plastic packaging as a UV blocker, prevents photo-degradation of the packaging polymers and its contents. Derivatives of this compound such as oxybenzone and dioxybenzone are used in some sunscreens. This reagent is suitable for industrial synthesis of products and research applications.
