|  |  | 4-Methoxybenzophenone Usage And Synthesis | 
 | Chemical Properties | WHITE TO YELLOW-ORANGE CRYSTALLINE SOLID |  | Uses | 4-Methoxybenzophenone and its analogues showed diverse plant growth-regulating actions such as inhibition of shoot and root growth, induction of chlorosis, and a disturbance in phototropism or geotropism. It is also used as a photo polymerization catalyst. |  | Uses | 4-Methoxybenzophenone and its analogues showed diverse plant growth-regulating actions such as inhibition of shoot and root growth, induction of chlorosis, and a disturbance in phototropism or geotrop
ism. 4-Methoxybenzophenone is also used as a photopolymerization catalyst. |  | Preparation | Obtained by reaction of 4-methoxybenzoyl chloride with benzene in the presence –of aluminium chloride. |  | Synthesis Reference(s) | Chemistry Letters, 6, p. 1099, 1977 Journal of the American Chemical Society, 110, p. 1556, 1988
