4-Dodecyloxy-2-hydroxybenzophenone is a chemical compound that features in the field of materials science, particularly in studies concerning the photostabilization of plastics. Its structure, which includes both a benzophenone moiety and a dodecyloxy group, makes it an effective ultraviolet (UV) light absorber, and it is therefore often researched for its ability to protect polymers from UV-induced degradation. This compound is also of interest in organic chemistry for its potential role as an intermediate in the synthesis of more complex organic molecules, where its aromatic hydroxyl group can undergo various chemical reactions. Additionally, 4-dodecyloxy-2-hydroxybenzophenone may be used in surface chemistry research to modify the surface properties of materials, owing to its long alkyl chain, which can contribute to increased hydrophobicity. Its role in the formulation of coatings and paints is also explored, as it can impart durability against UV radiation.
