Usage

General Description

4-Hydroxyphenyl 4-hydroxybenzoate, also known as p-hydroxyphenyl p-hydroxybenzoate, is a chemical compound belonging to the class of phenylbenzoates. It is commonly used as a UV filter in sunscreen and cosmetic products due to its ability to absorb and block harmful UV radiation. 4-Hydroxyphenyl 4-hydroxybenzoate exhibits strong antioxidant properties, which makes it effective in protecting the skin from the damaging effects of free radicals and UV-induced oxidative stress. Additionally, 4-Hydroxyphenyl 4-hydroxybenzoate has been studied for its potential as an anticancer agent and for its ability to modulate inflammatory responses in the skin. Overall, this chemical serves an important role in the formulation of sunscreens and skincare products for its photoprotective and skin-soothing properties.

SuFEx-based synthesis of polysulfates

High-molecular-weight polysulfates are readily formed from aromatic bis(silyl ethers) and bis(fluorosulfates) in the presence of a base catalyst. The reaction is fast and proceeds well under neat conditions or in solvents, such as dimethyl formamide or N-methylpyrrolidone, to provide the desired polymers in nearly quantitative yield. These polymers are more resistant to chemical degradation than their polycarbonate analogues and exhibit excellent mechanical, optical, and oxygen-barrier properties.
