Description
4-Ethylbenzophenone is an aromatic ketone building block with CAS number 18220-90-1 and empirical formula C₁₅H₁₄O. Its molar mass is 210,27 g/mol. The compound exhibits a boiling point of 325 °C and a flash point of 141,8 °C, properties that support controlled handling in synthetic organic chemistry workflows. Researchers in fine-chemical and biochemical programmes can use it for coupling, functional-group transformations, and structure–activity studies. Clear identity data—including CAS registry number, molecular formula, and thermal characteristics—facilitate documentation, risk assessment, and integration into existing protocols. The material is positioned for routine bench-scale work and exploratory synthesis rather than bulk processing, offering a practical quantity for screening and scale-up trials in academic and industrial laboratories.

Questions about 4-Ethylbenzophenone, 25 g
What is this article?
4-Ethylbenzophenone, 25 g is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Organic building blocks & synthesis reagents, inside Organic chemicals & synthesis reagents, in Lab chemicals.
A building block is an organic molecule bought to become part of a larger one. The structure, the CAS number and the purity decide it. A 95 percent reagent and a 99.9 percent reagent of the same name leave different impurities in the product. The functional groups are the reason it was chosen.
An organic chemical is built on carbon. In this category it is a building block or a reagent for making another molecule: a starting material, a coupling agent, a polymer, a PEG. Purity is a specification of which impurities remain. The structure, the CAS number and the grade decide whether two bottles are the same substance. Structures and properties are on PubChem. Nomenclature is IUPAC. Classification follows ECHA and the CLP Regulation.
