Цікавий факт
The US Food and Drug Administration bans benzophenone as a food additive, even though it maintains that the chemical poses no risk to public health under its intended use. Benzophenone is otherwise considered essentially nontoxic.
Отримання й хімія
Спосіб отримання
Benzophenone is produced by the copper-catalyzed oxidation of diphenylmethane with air. It can also be prepared by Friedel-Crafts acylation of benzene with benzoyl chloride in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst such as aluminium chloride. Because benzoyl chloride can itself be produced by the reaction of benzene with phosgene, the first synthesis proceeded directly from those materials. In the laboratory, benzene can be reacted with carbon tetrachloride and the resulting diphenyldichloromethane hydrolysed.
