4-Aminobenzophenone (CAS 1137-41-3), also identified as p-Aminobenzophenone, is a yellow to tan crystalline powder belonging to the class of aromatic ketones, primarily utilized as a pivotal intermediate in the pharmaceutical industry for the synthesis of anthelmintic drugs like Mebendazole. This (4-Aminophenyl)(phenyl)methanone compound functions as a reactive building block in Para-aminobenzophenone derived pathways, providing the necessary benzoyl and amine functionalities for cyclization reactions, while also serving as a precursor for photoinitiators in UV-curable polymer systems. To support industrial-scale requirements, we provide bulk supply with competitive factory pricing and ensure rigorous quality control through customized specifications alongside standard technical documentation, including MSDS, TDS, COA.

FAQ - Technical & Supply Chain
-
Q:
Is 4-Aminobenzophenone (CAS 1137-41-3) light sensitive?
A: Yes, like many aromatic amines and ketones, it is sensitive to light exposure ( C13H11NO), which can cause the powder to darken from yellow to brown; it requires storage in light-resistant containers. -
Q:
What is the primary pharmaceutical application of this intermediate?
A: It is the key starting material for the synthesis of Mebendazole, a broad-spectrum anthelmintic medication used to treat worm infections, formed via reaction with methyl chloroformate and S-methylisothiourea.
