Usage

General Description

4-(6-Hydroxyhexyloxy)benzoic acid 4-methoxyphenyl ester is a chemical compound that belongs to the family of benzoic acid derivatives. It is also known as Octocrylene, and is commonly used in sunscreens and other cosmetic products as a UV filter. This chemical compound helps to protect the skin from the harmful effects of UV radiation by absorbing and filtering out the sun's rays. Octocrylene is also used in combination with other UV filters to provide broad-spectrum protection against both UVA and UVB rays. Additionally, it is often used in skincare and personal care products due to its ability to stabilize other UV filters and extend the shelf life of the product.

Synthesis and physical properties of ferrocene derivatives (XXIII): Phase transition and unique molecular structure of monosubstituted ferrocene derivatives

The monosubstituted ferrocene derivatives, -[4-(4-methoxyphenoxycarbonyl) phenoxy]alkoxycarbonyl ferrocene, were synthesized in order to compare the liquid crystallinity to that of disubstituted ferrocene derivatives, 1,1'-bis[-[4-(4-methoxy-phenoxycarbonyl)phenoxy]alkoxycarbonyl]ferrocene. Some of the monosubstituted ferrocene derivatives containing relatively longer flexible spacer showed the liquid crystalline phase, nematic and/or smectic phases. The crystal structure of 2-[4-(4-methoxyphenoxycarbonyl)phenoxy] ethoxycarbonyl ferrocene was determined by X-ray diffraction method using a single crystal. The molecular structure revealed a bent structure that is almost a half of "Z" shaped molecular structure of 1,1'-bis[2-[4-(4- methoxyphenoxycarbonyl)phenoxy]ethoxycarbonyl]ferrocene.
