4-Ethoxybenzophenone（Cat No.:L014151）is an aromatic ketone consisting of a benzophenone core with an ethoxy group substituted at the para (4) position of one of the phenyl rings. This compound is used as an intermediate in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, UV absorbers, and specialty chemicals. The ethoxy group enhances solubility and modulates the electronic properties of the molecule, while the ketone functionality provides a reactive site for further transformations such as reductions, condensations, or nucleophilic additions. Its conjugated structure also makes it suitable for applications in photochemistry and materials science.
