2-Octylbenzimidazole - Introduction
2-octylbenzimidazole (2-octylbenzimidazole) is an organic compound with the following properties:
1. physical properties: 2-octyl benzimidazole is a white or light yellow crystal or powder, can be dissolved in organic solvents such as ether, alcohol and ketone, but insoluble in water.
2. Chemical properties: It is an acidic compound that can react with bases to form salts. It is stable to light and heat and can provide good UV-A and UV-B protection.
This compound is mainly used as a component of UV-A and UV-B absorbers in sunscreen products. It can absorb ultraviolet rays and convert them into heat energy, thereby reducing the damage of ultraviolet rays to the skin. Therefore, it is widely used in sunscreen, sunscreen lotion, skin care products and other sun protection products. It can also be used in products such as certain plastics, coatings and rubbers to improve their UV blocking properties.
The method for preparing 2-octylbenzimidazole is generally obtained by reacting benzimidazole with caprylic anhydride. For specific synthetic routes, reference can be made to the chemical literature and patent literature.
Regarding safety information, 2-octylbenzimidazole is generally safe under normal conditions of use. However, as a chemical, it can cause irritation to the skin, eyes and respiratory tract. Therefore, when using, should avoid direct contact with the skin and eyes, if necessary, wear appropriate protective equipment. At the same time, it should be used in strict accordance with the instructions for use and stored properly to avoid exposure to high temperature and fire.
