La cire d'abeille est la cire naturelle particulière sécrétée par les abeilles à miel. Elles l'utilisent pour construire les rayons de leur ruche afin d'y stocker le miel, le pollen et leur couvain. Chimiquement, la cire d'abeille se compose principalement d'esters d'acides gras et de divers alcools à longue chaîne.La cire d'abeille (nom scientifique : cera alba) est réalisée à partir des écailles blanches et transparentes qui apparaissent à l'ouverture des quatre paires de glandes cirières situées sous l'abdomen de l'abeille. La nouvelle cire est d'abord limpide et incolore, devenant opaque après la mastication et l'adultération avec le pollen par les abeilles ouvrières de la ruche. En outre, la cire devient progressivement plus jaune ou brun par l'incorporation d'huiles de pollen et de propolis. Les écailles de cire ont une largeur d'environ 3 mm et une épaisseur de 0,1 mm, et environ 1100 sont nécessaires pour former un gramme de cire. Pour que les abeilles cirières sécrètent de la cire, la température ambiante dans la ruche doit être de . Les cirières consomment 8 kg de miel pour pouvoir produire 1 kg de cire mais ce kilo de cire permettra ensuite de bâtir assez d'alvéoles pour contenir 27 kilos de miel. La cire d'abeille peut être extraite des cadres de la ruche (environ 100 à 200 g de cire par cadre fondu), ou des opercules des alvéoles de miel, en même temps que l'extraction de ce dernier. Les résidus de cire issus d'opercules ayant été produits par les abeilles dans l'année sont réputés produire une plus belle cire que celle, plus vieille, issue des cadres. La cire d'abeille (notamment celle des opercules) est récupérée par les apiculteurs par fusion à 64 °C, au moyen d'un cérificateur (électrique ou solaire) ou d'un four solaire7 qui permet de séparer la cire de ses impuretés et de ses résidus de miel. La cire peut encore être clarifiée par chauffage au bain-marie dans l'eau ou en mettant des bouts de cire directement dans de l'eau, ce qui permettra de nettoyer les cires noircies avec le temps. On fait chauffer l'eau et la cire jusqu'à ce que toute la cire ait fondu (en remuant régulièrement). La cire fondant à 64 °C, il est inutile de faire bouillir l'eau car la cire trop chauffée devient cassante et perd son élasticité. On laisse refroidir le mélange d'eau et de cire jusqu'à solidification de la cire. Lorsqu'on démoule, on a 3 phases : la cire solide au-dessus ; de l'eau "sale" en dessous ; et entre les 2, une phase d'impuretés non solubles (dont la propolis, des bouts d'abeilles, de la poussière, etc. ), qu'on gratte pour l'éliminer (certains s'en servent pour piéger les essaims qui sont attirés par l'odeur de la cire). Il est recommandé de recommencer la procédure 2 ou 3 fois avec la cire ainsi récupérée, pour la purifier de plus en plus. Attention, la cire sera difficile à nettoyer sur les outils et vêtements utilisés pendant son filtrage. Pour pouvoir être recyclée en cire gaufrée dans une ruche, seule la cire d'opercules fraîche peut être utilisée car elle est encore vierge de toutes pollutions. En effet, la cire est un corps gras qui retient beaucoup de molécules. En recyclant la vieille cire des rayons, on garderait des molécules toxiques (coumaphos, tau-fluvalinate, etc) pour les abeilles. Pour l'utilisation en bougie ou autre, on peut stériliser à 130 °C pendant 20 minutes. Attention à ne pas dépasser les 180 °C, température d'évaporation et risque d'inflammation de la cire d'abeille.
BEESWAX
DESCRIPTION:
Beeswax (also known as cera alba) is a natural wax produced by honey bees of the genus Apis.
The wax is formed into scales by eight wax-producing glands in the abdominal segments of worker bees, which discard it in or at the hive.
The hive workers collect and use it to form cells for honey storage and larval and pupal protection within the beehive.


Beeswax is a natural wax that worker bees secrete from glands under their abdomen.
The substance is produced as waxy scales that form thin sheets.
Beeswax can be chewed up by the worker bee and molded into any shape they choose.

Bees produce beeswax mainly to create honeycomb cells for storing honey and protecting eggs and larvae.
The wax acts as a valuable barrier to water and keeps out cold.
Beeswax has a chemical makeup comprising various long-chain alcohols and fatty acid esters.

Beeswax is a product made from the honeycomb of the honeybee and other bees.
The mixing of pollen oils into honeycomb wax turns the white wax into a yellow or brown color.
Beeswax is used for high cholesterol, pain, fungal skin infections, and other conditions.

But there is no good scientific research to support these uses.
In foods and beverages, white beeswax and beeswax absolute (yellow beeswax treated with alcohol) are used as stiffening agents.
In manufacturing, yellow and white beeswax are used as thickeners, emulsifiers, and as stiffening agents in cosmetics.

Beeswax absolute is used as a fragrance in soaps and perfumes.
White beeswax and beeswax absolute are also used to polish pills.


Beeswax is a substance made by honeybees.
Beeswax has many useful properties, not only for the success of the hive but also as a natural ingredient for consumer products.
Beeswax can be used for household items, but there are also biological benefits.

Bees play an important role in keeping our world functioning.
With the amount of pollination that they do, they contribute to various animal and plant species' survival, including our own.
Not only that, bee products are now an integral part of consumer products.
These products are growing in popularity, and help bring attention to all the work honeybees do for nature and people.

Besides growing in demand as a natural alternative to plastics and synthetic chemicals, beeswax is an important material used for building the beehive.
It is made to store food and house the young bee larvae.
Beeswax is made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, which are formed into long carbon chains.
This structure makes beeswax easy to sculpt once it’s been harvested and cleaned.

Worker bees make beeswax by turning their nectar and honey stores into compounds.
They work together and use their small bodies to make the product.
Those compounds are secreted from special glands on the bee's abdomen.

A lot of work goes into making beeswax.
Young worker bees spend most of their time making beeswax.
Bees use six pounds of honey to make one pound of wax.
The young worker bees cluster together to raise their body temperatures, which helps to make the wax easier to work with.


Beeswax is one of the natural waxes that have been used as a support ingredient in cosmetic and pharmaceutical formulations.
Although Beeswax has well-known healing properties, Beeswax remains a secondary and poorly valued product, particularly in South American countries' apiarian production.
In Latin America, for example, the apiarian activity can be traced back to stingless bees in pre-Columbian times.

Then, with the arrival of the Spaniards in the 16th century, honey bees (Apis mellifera iberian and A. m. mellifera) were introduced, which were joined afterward by other breeds such as A. m. ligustica and A. m. scutellata.
Over the years, honey has been the main product from the apiarian farmers, being beeswax a secondary product, mainly used for the regular renewal procedure of the hives.
Nowadays, beeswax's cosmetic and pharmaceutical use is found at the level of small laboratories and small businesses.

Unlike other hive products, beeswax is a substance produced 100% by worker bees.
They produce what are called wax scales thanks to specific glands located on their abdomen.
Mixed with saliva, the wax scales take on a more homogeneous and smoother appearance, which then serves as a polishing, protective and softening agent.
Like propolis or royal jelly, beeswax plays an important role in maintaining the good health of the hive and protecting it from external aggression.


Chemically, beeswax consists mainly of esters of fatty acids and various long-chain alcohols.
Beeswax has been used since prehistory as the first plastic, as a lubricant and waterproofing agent, in lost wax casting of metals and glass, as a polish for wood and leather, for making candles, as an ingredient in cosmetics and as an artistic medium in encaustic painting.

Beeswax is edible, having similarly negligible toxicity to plant waxes, and is approved for food use in most countries and in the European Union under the E number E901.
However, due to its inability to be broken down by the human digestive system, Beeswax has insignificant nutritional value

PRODUCTION OF BEESWAX:
Beeswax is formed by worker bees, which secrete it from eight wax-producing mirror glands on the inner sides of the sternites (the ventral shield or plate of each segment of the body) on abdominal segments 4 to 7.
The sizes of these wax glands depend on the age of the worker, and after many daily flights, these glands gradually begin to atrophy.

The new wax is initially glass-clear and colorless, becoming opaque after chewing and being contaminated with pollen by the hive worker bees, becoming progressively yellower or browner by incorporation of pollen oils and propolis.
The wax scales are about three millimetres (0.12 in) across and 0.1 mm (0.0039 in) thick, and about 1100 are needed to make a gram of wax.
Worker bees use the beeswax to build honeycomb cells.
For the wax-making bees to secrete wax, the ambient temperature in the hive must be 33 to 36 °C (91 to 97 °F).

The book Beeswax Production, Harvesting, Processing and Products suggests one kilogram (2.2 lb) of beeswax is sufficient to store 22 kg (49 lb) of honey.
Another study estimated that one kilogram (2.2 lb) of wax can store 24 to 30 kg (53 to 66 lb) of honey.

Sugars from honey are metabolized into beeswax in wax-gland-associated fat cells.
The amount of honey used by bees to produce wax has not been accurately determined, but according to Whitcomb's 1946 experiment, 6.66 to 8.80 kg (14.7 to 19.4 lb) of honey yields one kilogram (2.2 lb) of wax.

PROCESSING OF BEESWAX:
Beeswax as a product for human use may come from cappings cut off the cells in the process of extraction, from old comb that is scrapped, or from unwanted burr comb and brace comb removed from a hive.
Its color varies from nearly white to brownish, but most often is a shade of yellow, depending on purity, the region, and the type of flowers gathered by the bees.
The wax from the brood comb of the honey bee hive tends to be darker than wax from the honeycomb because impurities accumulate more quickly in the brood comb.

Due to the impurities, the wax must be rendered before further use.
The leftovers are called slumgum, and is derived from old breeding rubbish (pupa casings, cocoons, shed larva skins, etc.), bee droppings, propolis, and general rubbish.
The wax may be clarified further by heating in water.
As with petroleum waxes, it may be softened by dilution with mineral oil or vegetable oil to make it more workable at room temperature.


HISTORY OF BEESWAX:
While we discovered the benefits and properties of beehive products relatively recently, they were commonly used across the different civilisations which preceded us.
The first traces of the use of beeswax have been found in Turkey, where it was discovered on pottery shards dating to seven thousand years ago.
Other discoveries also lead us to believe that beeswax was used traditionally during pre-Neolithic then Neolithic periods.


In the present day, beeswax has many uses.
Beeswax is often found in the cosmetics sector, where it serves as a protective and softening agent. Beeswax is also used to make candles, as well as being used as a food additive.
Zero waste proponents also use Beeswax to create “bee-wrap”, an alternative to plastic containers for preserving food in a more ecological way.

CHARACTERISTICS OF BEESWAX:
Beeswax has a very rich composition: Beeswax contains over 300 different molecules!
Beeswax mainly contains alcohol esters, fatty acids and sugars, as well as a significant quantity of vitamin A.
Produced at the heart of the hive, Beeswax also contains traces of propolis, pollen and other elements.


When Beeswax is produced by bees, beeswax is white, but it progressively takes on a darker tint from contact with the pollen and propolis found in the hive.
Beeswax is a valued substance in industry, as Beeswax is very easy to work with.
Malleable at room temperature, Beeswax becomes liquid when it is melted.
Beeswax can also be kept for a long time, and its different properties make it a popular ingredient.

BENEFITS OF BEESWAX FOR THE SKIN AND HAIR:
The softening, emulsifying and protective properties of beeswax are particularly valuable for helping to nourish the skin and contribute to naturally maintaining its elasticity and flexibility.

Rich in fatty acids, Beeswax is widely found in the formulation of cosmetic treatments intended for dry skin and mature skin.
Beeswax is also a key ingredient in lip balms and hand creams.
Applied on the skin, Beeswax gives instant comfort thanks to its softening action and provides lasting protection against external aggression such as the cold or wind.

In addition to being recommended in facial and body treatments, beeswax can also be used on the hair to nourish ends and facilitate styling, in association with other ingredients.
To enjoy the benefits of beeswax, we have integrated it in some of our cosmetic products.
You can therefore find Beeswax alongside other hive products in our hand cream, our lip balm and even our moisturising day cream for normal skin.















PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF BEESWAX:
Beeswax is a fragrant solid at room temperature.
The colors are light yellow, medium yellow, or dark brown and white.
Beeswax is a tough wax formed from a mixture of several chemical compounds.

Beeswax has a relatively low melting point range of 62 to 64 °C (144 to 147 °F).
If beeswax is heated above 85 °C (185 °F) discoloration occurs.
The flash point of beeswax is 204.4 °C (400 °F).


Triacontanyl palmitate, a wax ester, is a major component of beeswax.
When natural beeswax is cold, it is brittle, and its fracture is dry and granular.
At room temperature (conventionally taken as about 20 °C (68 °F)), it is tenacious and it softens further at human body temperature (37 °C (99 °F)).

Beeswax is an inert material with high plasticity at a relatively low temperature (around 32ºC).
Its melting point is not constant since the composition varies slightly depending on its origin.
Typical values are between (62 °C to 65 °C).

Its relative density at 15 ºC is reported between 0.958 g/cm3 to 0.970 g/cm3, while its thermal conductivity is approximately 0.25 W/m.K.
Beeswax is also known that the viscosity at 100 °C is less than 20 mPa.
The boiling point is unknown and has a flash point at temperatures higher than 180 °C.

PHARMACEUTICAL PROPERTIES OF BEESWAX:
Sterols present in beeswax are therapeutically beneficial compounds effective in lowering cholesterol levels.
The incorporation of sterols into different foods may be convenient.
Beeswax is used for delicate skin care in cosmetology, especially when it is dry.
Beeswax cleans the epidermis and softens and nourishes the dermis, thus preventing skin aging.

Products that contain beeswax soften the skin.
White wax typically enters the composition of nourishing, astringent, cleansing creams and skin masks.
The therapeutic properties of beeswax were already known in antiquity.

In his famous "Canon of medicine," Avicenna cites several medicine formulas whose composition includes beeswax.
In addition, archeological evidence of beeswax ointments has been found from as early as the 16th century.

Nowadays, beeswax continues to occupy a prominent place in medicine preparations.
According to Pharmacopoeia, plasters, ointments and creams should be prepared in pharmacies with a beeswax base.
In addition, the white wax is included in the composition of creams, astringents, cleaning, whitening, and facial masks.

In the United States, chewing gum (combs wax) is attributed to have specific valuable properties, among others, to activate the secretion of saliva and gastric juice, eliminate dental stones, and reduce nicotine concentrations in smokers.
Recently, beeswax has been used to encapsulate drugs and flavors.


BEESWAX PURIFICATION:
As found in combs, beeswax is yellow and has a particular smell similar to honey.
Its purification is carried out through several procedures reported in the literature.
The purification procedure consists in melting beeswax in a water bath at a temperature higher than 60 ºC.

Then beeswax is bleached through a variety of methods, among them: exposition to the sun, through diatomaceous earth and activated carbon, or with sulfuric acid.
The molten beeswax is then poured on a vessel and partially submerged in temperate water while slowly mixing, and the impurities are scraped off the surface.
The purified beeswax is white and translucent and has thin edges.

BEESWAX FORMULATION FOR CREAMS AND OINTMENTS:

In general, to obtain a dermo-cosmetic cream, the components of each phase must be mixed separately at a temperature close to 60 ºC, then incorporated one phase into the other under mixing, cool, and homogenize.
However, the preparation is more straightforward for ointments as a single phase.
The procedure consists basically in melting the beeswax at a temperature higher than 65 ºC and adding the formulation components.

In this sense, the cream or ointment components must be chosen according to the objective pursued with the application on the skin.
Thus, beeswax can be used as a component in moisturizing creams for burns, stretch marks, wrinkles, cellulite, lip balms, and even sunscreen formulations


CHEMICAL COMPOSITION OF BEESWAX:
An approximate chemical formula for beeswax is C15H31COOC30H61.
Its main constituents are palmitate, palmitoleate, and oleate esters of long-chain (30–32 carbons) aliphatic alcohols, with the ratio of triacontanyl palmitate CH3(CH2)29O-CO-(CH2)14CH3 to cerotic acid CH3(CH2)24COOH, the two principal constituents, being 6:1.
Beeswax can be classified generally into European and Oriental types.

The saponification value is lower (3–5) for European beeswax, and higher (8–9) for Oriental types.
The analytical characterization can be done by high-temperature gas chromatography.





Production of Beeswax:
In 2020, world production of beeswax was 62,116 tonnes, led by India with 38% of the total.

USES OF BEESWAX:
Beeswax has numerous uses.
The wax has over 300 natural compounds in it, and has a pleasant scent.
This makes it a popular material to use in human goods.

Candles:
Beeswax burns more beautifully than any other wax.
It exudes a faint, natural fragrance of honey and pollen.
When candles are made with the proper size of wicking, they are smokeless, dripless, and burn with a bright flame.
The aroma can be accentuated when mixed with essential oils.

Pure beeswax candles can clean the air by releasing negative ions into the air.
These negative ions can bind with toxins and help remove them from the air.
Beeswax candles are often especially helpful for those with asthma or allergies and they are effective at removing common allergens like dust and dander from the air.

Whilst beeswax candles are more expensive than paraffin wax ones, they burn more slowly so they last much longer.

Prevents Rust:
Coat things like hand tools, cast iron pieces and shovels to prevent them from rusting out.
You can even rub the wax on the wooden handle of your shovel to help protect against wear and tear.
Beeswax also prevents bronze items from getting tarnished.

Cheese Waxing:
Beeswax is the best natural cover for cheeses.
It works well for sealing because it has a low melting point.

Waxed Thread:
Plain thread can be rubbed against a cube of wax, coating the thread in the wax.
The wax on the thread provides lubrication that can make sewing easier.

Coating Nails & Screws:
Nails and screws coated with beeswax help not splinter the wood.

Wood Lubricant:
Rub the wax on sliding glass doors, windows or drawers that tend to stick to restore smooth movement.
Beeswax is also a fantastic lubricant for oiling very old furniture joints.

Envelope Seal:
Traditionally beeswax was used as an envelope seal.
This use would be great for an invitation to traditional events such as weddings.

Waterproof Shoes and Boots:
Rub the beeswax over the entire shoe.
Next, use a blow dryer to melt the wax all over the shoe then let set for about 5 minutes before wearing!

DIY Shoe Polish:
Restore leather products such as boots, shoes, wallets, bags, and more with this basic shoe polish formula.

Beeswax For Hair:
Beeswax is used as a remedy for dry hair, to help start and maintain dreadlocks and as a wax for a man’s beard or mustache.

Grease Cookie Sheets:
If you have a block of wax, you can simply rub it over your pans and use it in place of butter or oil. (Beeswax is edible so this is perfectly safe.)
It works best if you warm the sheet a bit first.
Over time the pan will take on a permanent coat of wax, eliminating the need to grease every time.

Furniture Polish:
To make beeswax furniture polish melt 1 T. of grated beeswax, stir in 3 T. of coconut oil until melted.
When this cools and hardens, use a clean cloth to rub it onto your wood furniture.
Then using another cloth, buff the furniture until all residue is removed.

Reusable Food Wrap:
An alternative to plastic wrap…..make your own beeswax coated cotton material.
The warmth of your hands allows you to mould the beeswax to whatever shape you want and it stays there.
When refrigerated it forms a firm cover to protect your leftovers.

Care For Wooden Utensils:
Make spoon (or board) butter out of mineral oil and natural beeswax.
Smooth it into your spoons, spatulas, boards and bowls.
Let them sit for a couple of hours, then rub down with a clean cloth and return them to normal use.

Cosmetics:
Beeswax is often added to creams, lotions, soaps, and lipstick.
This is because it can improve skin's softness and hydration, and has antibiotic properties.
This ingredient is increasingly seen in skincare items, as a natural alternative that is safe for sensitive skin.

Food coverings:
Beeswax has become an alternative coating to other kinds of wax for candies, fruits, nuts, and coffee beans to name a few.
You can find natural beeswax covers in the grocery store, which are reusable alternatives to plastic wrap.
Beeswax is thus becoming more popular among people who are switching to sustainable lifestyles.

Polish:
Beeswax has been used in furniture and shoe polish, but there are many technical uses for beeswax.
Beeswax is also been used to care for leather products.
The different types of compounds found in beeswax make it a versatile product.

Candles:
Beeswax can be used as candle wax.
Beeswax is naturally scented and makes for nice, natural candles.
Candles made with beeswax were once popular.
Now people have moved on to easier, more sustainable waves for candles.

Honeybees are powerhouses capable of making all sorts of wonderful things.
Buying local is a great way to support your area's bees.
You can also check to see that your bee products are sustainably sourced.
These actions may benefit both your surrounding environment and local economy.


Candle-making has long involved the use of beeswax, which burns readily and cleanly, and this material was traditionally prescribed for the making of the Paschal candle or "Easter candle".
Beeswax candles are purported to be superior to other wax candles, because they burn brighter and longer, do not bend, and burn cleaner.
Beeswax is further recommended for the making of other candles used in the liturgy of the Roman Catholic Church.
Beeswax is also the candle constituent of choice in the Eastern Orthodox Church.

Refined beeswax plays a prominent role in art materials both as a binder in encaustic paint and as a stabilizer in oil paint to add body.

Beeswax is an ingredient in surgical bone wax, which is used during surgery to control bleeding from bone surfaces; shoe polish and furniture polish can both use beeswax as a component, dissolved in turpentine or sometimes blended with linseed oil or tung oil; modeling waxes can also use beeswax as a component; pure beeswax can also be used as an organic surfboard wax.
Beeswax blended with pine rosin is used for waxing, and can serve as an adhesive to attach reed plates to the structure inside a squeezebox.
Beeswax can also be used to make Cutler's resin, an adhesive used to glue handles onto cutlery knives.

Beeswax is used in Eastern Europe in egg decoration; it is used for writing, via resist dyeing, on batik eggs (as in pysanky) and for making beaded eggs.
Beeswax is used by percussionists to make a surface on tambourines for thumb rolls.
Beeswax can also be used as a metal injection moulding binder component along with other polymeric binder materials.


Beeswax was formerly used in the manufacture of phonograph cylinders.
Beeswax may still be used to seal formal legal or royal decree and academic parchments such as placing an awarding stamp imprimatur of the university upon completion of postgraduate degrees.

Purified and bleached beeswax is used in the production of food, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.
The three main types of beeswax products are yellow, white, and beeswax absolute.
Yellow beeswax is the crude product obtained from the honeycomb, white beeswax is bleached or filtered yellow beeswax, and beeswax absolute is yellow beeswax treated with alcohol.

In food preparation, Beeswax is used as a coating for cheese; by sealing out the air, protection is given against spoilage (mold growth).
Beeswax may also be used as a food additive E901, in small quantities acting as a glazing agent, which serves to prevent water loss, or used to provide surface protection for some fruits.

Soft gelatin capsules and tablet coatings may also use E901.
Beeswax is also a common ingredient of natural chewing gum.
The wax monoesters in beeswax are poorly hydrolysed in the guts of humans and other mammals, so they have insignificant nutritional value.
Some birds, such as honeyguides, can digest beeswax.
Beeswax is the main diet of wax moth larvae.

The use of beeswax in skin care and cosmetics has been increasing.
A German study found beeswax to be superior to similar barrier creams (usually mineral oil-based creams such as petroleum jelly), when used according to its protocol.
Beeswax is used in lip balm, lip gloss, hand creams, salves, and moisturizers; and in cosmetics such as eye shadow, blush, and eye liner.
Beeswax is also an important ingredient in moustache wax and hair pomades, which make hair look sleek and shiny.

In oil spill control, beeswax is processed to create Petroleum Remediation Product (PRP).
Beeswax is used to absorb oil or petroleum-based pollutants from water.



Beeswax has played an essential role in history and popular tradition for many years.
Historically, beeswax has been used for candle manufacture; beeswax also was used in letter envelopes seals, sculpture making, and sealing coffins, among other applications.
Due to beeswax characteristics, properties and benefits, beeswax is used in both handcrafted and industrial products.
Industry uses beeswax as an insulating and hydrophobic component of numerous products.
For example, beeswax is used in electrical cables to isolate copper from moisture, in electronic circuits, to protect leather, in the preparation of varnishes, inks, matches, and protective waxes for cuttings.

Beeswax goes into the composition of ointments and creams as a fat base and thickener.
The major use in this field is depilating wax, a mixture of beeswax and resins.
Beeswax has anti-inflammatory and healing properties and is thus widely used in cosmetic and pharmaceutical products.

Beeswax is used to cover sewing cords in shoe production, paperboards, and even in some cultures to produce dried meat.
Beeswax is also used in shoe polishes and creams to protect cans from acidic attacks from fruit juices and other corrosive agents.
Beeswax is used to make models for pieces in jewelry and sculpture modeling due to its malleability.

Beeswax in some Asia and African countries is used to create batik fabrics and manufacture small metal ornaments through the molten wax method.
Companies such as Stockmar and Filana use beeswax to make wax crayons.
Additionally, candelilla wax has been proposed in beeswax crayon formulations.
Stockmar also manufactures modeling beeswax.







HISTORICAL USES OF BEESWAX:
Beeswax was among the first plastics to be used, alongside other natural polymers such as gutta-percha, horn, tortoiseshell, and shellac.
For thousands of years, beeswax has had a wide variety of applications; it has been found in the tombs of Egypt, in wrecked Viking ships, and in Roman ruins.
Beeswax never goes bad and can be heated and reused.

Historically, it has been used:
• As candles - the oldest intact beeswax candles north of the Alps were found in the Alamannic graveyard of Oberflacht, Germany, dating to 6th/7th century AD
• In the manufacture of cosmetics
• As a modelling material in the lost-wax casting process, or cire perdue
• For wax tablets used for a variety of writing purposes
• In encaustic paintings such as the Fayum mummy portraits
• In bow making
• To strengthen and preserve sewing thread, cordage, shoe laces, etc.
• As a component of sealing wax
• To strengthen and to forestall splitting and cracking of wind instrument reeds
• To form the mouthpieces of a didgeridoo, and the frets on the Philippine kutiyapi – a type of boat lute
• As a sealant or lubricant for bullets in cap and ball firearms
• To stabilize the military explosive Torpex – before being replaced by a petroleum-based product
• In producing Javanese batik
• As an ancient form of dental tooth filling
• As the joint filler in the slate bed of pool and billiard tables.





BENEFITS OF BEESWAX:
Beeswax has numerous benefits for honeybees and their hives.
This material plays an important role in the honeybee colony's function and health.

The good news is that it's also useful to humans.
Beeswax has been shown to have multiple therapeutic properties.
The natural components of beeswax also give it healing properties.

Beeswax products are used on the exterior of your skin.
Unlike honey, it's not meant to be consumed.
Some of these include:

• Healing bruises
• Reducing inflammation
• Treating burns
There is a long history in European and Asian usage of beeswax in traditional medicine.
More modern researchers are studying the antimicrobial properties of beeswax, and some studies have shown a reduction of the effect of salmonella and staphylococcus.

Another benefit of beeswax is its low irritant content.
This makes it popular in cosmetics and makeup.
Because of beeswax's softening and protective properties, it's safe for many skin types.

All natural:
Coming from the honeycomb of the honeybee, beeswax is a completely all-natural substance straight from Mother Nature.
Honeybees consume honey and pollen to produce the wax.
Beeswax takes about eight pounds of honey to produce just one pound of beeswax.

Antibacterial:
Like honey, beeswax has antibacterial properties helping keep things clean and reducing risks of contamination.
This makes Beeswax a common ingredient in skin treatments, salves, and more.

Antifungal:
Beeswax is also thought to have antifungal properties preventing the growth of yeasts and other fungi.

Edible:
While it wouldn’t provide you with many nutrients, beeswax is non-toxic and safe if ingested which is one of the reasons Beeswax makes an excellent lip balm.

Better even when burned:
Unlike candles made from other wax, beeswax candles burn brighter and cleaner as they emit negative ions that are known to help purify the air.
Beeswax also smells great when burned without any added chemicals or scents, as it’s naturally aromatic from the honey and flower nectar that’s found in the honeycomb.


Waterproof:
Beeswax has been used throughout history as a sealant and waterproofing agent for items like belts, tents, and shoes.
By rubbing beeswax onto a surface like leather or canvas and then heating it, the wax seeps into the materials’ fibers and blocks water from passing through.

Moisturising:
A common ingredient in lotions, salves, and balms, beeswax helps lock in moisture making it a great defense against dry skin, lips, or hair.


Eco-friendly:
Since beeswax comes directly from bees and is non-toxic, beeswax is completely environmentally friendly and an important ingredient in a range of eco-friendly products.
Also, we use beeswax to make our beeswax wraps and beeswax food bags.

Never goes bad:
Propolis in Beeswax:
Beeswax contains a natural, powerful protective substance called propolis, which shields beeswax from ever going bad.
Made by the bees by combining tree resin with wax flakes and pollen, propolis is used to used fix and strengthen the beehive while protecting the hive with an antiseptic barrier – the name propolis comes from the Greek meaning “defense of the city.”
These protective qualities are so effective that unspoiled beeswax has even been found in ancient tombs.
That said, it is possible for commercial or homemade beeswax products that also include other ingredients to go bad.

Beeswax and its beneficial properties:
With so many beneficial properties, beeswax is a healthy and harmless alternative to plastic for storing food.
Beeswax wraps use the natural power of beeswax to protect and store your food in a safe way as a plastic wrap alternative.
Since beeswax is waterproof, it keeps unwanted moisture out of food while trapping the food’s natural moisture in.

Meanwhile, its antibacterial and antifungal properties keep bacteria and germs at bay while the fact that it’s all-natural and nontoxic means that, unlike chemical-filled plastics, it’s safe to have close to your food.
Many people even use beeswax to seal fresh cheeses for aging – you can’t get much closer than that.




COLLECTION OF BEESWAX
To make good beeswax candles, it is important to ensure that the best beeswax is obtained.
The beekeepers collect honey and beeswax simultaneously.
They first begin by emptying the frames of the beehive that are covered with beeswax in the form of cappings and then they scratch off all the beeswax to collect the sweet old honey and move on to the next step.

The wax obtained from the beehive is first boiled and then filtered to eliminate any sort of impurities.
After ensuring that the best batch of beeswax has been obtained, the candle-making process begins.


COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT BEESWAX:
Does harvesting beeswax harm the bees?:
Bees work hard to make beeswax for their colony, not for humans.
When we take it without concern for sustainability, this heavily impacts the bee colony.
They may not be able to create enough food for winter if the honeycomb is plundered.

It is possible to harvest surplus beeswax without overworking the bees.
Excess wax collection allows the bees to build fresh honeycomb that is free from disease and best for nurturing future bee generations.

What is beeswax used for?:
Beeswax has a wide range of uses, including candle-making, environmentally-friendly food wrap, and skincare products.
Beeswax is also good for conditioning wood, rust prevention, and unsticking zippers.

Are bees killed for beeswax?:
Beeswax removal from a hive does not kill any bees.
When beekeepers use sustainable practices, they only take excess wax that won’t strain the colony.

Is beeswax the same as honey?:
Beeswax and honey are not the same, but they often go hand in hand.
Bees produce honey as a food source for the colony, while beeswax is used to construct honeycomb and other parts of the hive, like queen cells.
To extract honey from a beehive, you’ll also need to take the honeycomb.


WHAT IS BEESWAX AND WHY DO BEES MAKE IT?
Whether you’re a beekeeper or simply a curious person, you may wonder about honeybees and their intricate and remarkable behaviors.
You’re probably familiar with honey, but that doesn’t mean you understand other bee products.
Beeswax is an incredible substance, and it serves a few different purposes within a beehive.
Although you may not understand much about it at the moment, it’s beneficial to know what beeswax is and why bees make it.

WHAT IS BEESWAX?
Many people wonder what beeswax actually is—in simple terms, it’s what bees use to build the insides of their hives.
Because bees love to build nice homes for themselves, you can think of beeswax as bricks and concrete for bees.

There are many more things to learn about beeswax, from its purposes to how bees make it.
Explore everything you need to know about this spectacular bee product.

WHERE DOES IT COME FROM?
You may or may not be familiar with the honey-making process; either way, you might not know that beeswax comes directly from bees.
That’s right—they make the substance with their bodies and use it for various purposes and tasks around their homes inside the hives.
Whether you know quite a bit or only a little about bees, you’re probably interested in how exactly bees make beeswax; discover the intriguing process of making beeswax.

HOW AND WHY DO BEES MAKE IT?
The process begins in a field full of nectar-rich trees, plants, or flowers.
Bees forage local plants for nectar and pollen to make a few different products for their hives.
With that said, a bee’s diet consists mostly of honey, which is why the colony makes as much as it possibly can during the spring, summer, and early fall seasons.

However, the colony can’t possibly eat all of the honey they make right away.
Therefore, the bees need a place to put their surplus and save it for later.
Because honey never spoils, it’s the perfect substance to save throughout the winter so the colony can survive.

This leads to the need for beeswax.
Believe it or not, bees use honey to create beeswax, which they then use to build combs to store their surplus honey.

Interestingly, honeybees have special wax-producing glands on their abdomens, which converts the honey they eat into wax.
The wax exits their bodies through small pores, and it appears as small transparent flakes on their abdomens.
You may be wondering why beeswax has a yellowish color—it’s because the wax must go through another process before it becomes usable.

Bees transfer these wax flakes to their mouths and chew on them.
Their saliva helps soften the wax, and it’s also responsible for the color change you see in the finished product.
Once they have soft, flexible wax, the bees can use it to build the honeycombs you see within their hives.

Behenic acid is a fatty acid that is used as a thickener, cleansing agent, and opacifier in cosmetics.
Also known as Behenic acid, this ingredient may be plant-derived or synthetic.

Behenic acid’s a major component of moringa oil and is also found in peanut oil.
The saturated nature of this long-chain (more than 20 carbon molecules) wax-like fatty acid is what gives it opacifying and texture-enhancing properties.
Behenic acid is sometimes used as an alternative to stearic acid, a decision dependent on desired aesthetics.

Despite this being a saturated fatty acid, its lower molecular weight and affinity for skin enable it to enhance the penetration of other ingredients without posing a risk of irritation.
Although also categorized as a surfactant (cleansing agent) behenic acid is typically used with pure surfactants to create fatty acid-enhanced oil-gel textures that can capably yet gently remove excess oil and long-wearing, more tenacious ingredients.
Usage levels of behenic acid in cosmetics range from 0.024–22%.

Products like lipstick that may lead to incidental ingestion may contain up to 14% behenic acid.
All of these amounts are considered safe for skin.
Behenic acid, also known as docosanoate, C22:0 or 1-docosanoic acid, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as very long-chain fatty acids.

ALTERNATIVES OF BEHENYL ALCOHOL:
*CETEARYL ALCOHOL
*CETYL ALCOHOL
*MYRISTYL ALCOHOL
*OLEYL ALCOHOL



WHAT DOES BEHENYL ALCOHOL DO IN A FORMULATION?
*Emollient
*Emulsifying
*Opacifying
*Viscosity controlling



HISTORY OF BEHENYL ALCOHOL:
The drug was approved as a cream for oral herpes after clinical trials by the FDA in July 2000.
It was shown to shorten the healing by 17.5 hours on average (95% confidence interval: 2 to 22 hours) in a placebo-controlled trial.
Another trial showed no effect when treating the infected backs of guinea pigs.



BEHENYL ALCOHOL AT A GLANCE:
*Is considered a fatty, non-drying form of alcohol
*Is used as a thickener and moisturising ingredient in cosmetics
*Also known as 1-docosanol
*Has been ruled safe as used in cosmetics



MECHANISM OF ACTION OF BEHENYL ALCOHOL:
Behenyl Alcohol is thought to act by inhibiting the fusion of the human host cell with the viral envelope of the herpes virus, thus preventing its replication.



IS BEHENYL ALCOHOL VEGAN?
Behenyl alcohol is a vegan ingredient.
Behenyl Alcohol is derived from vegetable sources, such as vegetable oils.



DOES BEHENYL ALCOHOL IRRITATE OR DRY OUT YOUR SKIN?
Due to its name, behenyl alcohol is often misunderstood.
Behenyl Alcohol is often lumped in with alcohol-based ingredients such as alcohol denat or ethanol which can be drying or irritating to some skin types.
However behenyl alcohol is actually a fatty alcohol which is a different class of ingredient altogether.
In fact, fatty alcohols, unlike traditional alcohol in skincare, are actually known to effectively condition and soften the skin and hair.



EMULSIFIER, BEHENYL ALCOHOL:
Another function of behenyl alcohol is as an emulsifier.
Emulsifiers are necessary for products that contain both water and oil components.
As an emulsifier, behenyl alcohol consists of a water-loving hydrophilic head and an oil-loving hydrophobic tail.
The hydrophilic head is directed to the water-based ingredients and the hydrophobic tail to the oil-based ingredients.
Behenyl alcohol reduces the surface tension by positioning itself at the oil/water or air/water interface, which has a stabilizing effect on the emulsion.



EMMOLIENT, BEHENYL ALCOHOL:
Behenyl alcohol is used as an emollient in cosmetic formulations because of its ability to soften and soothe the skin.
After topical application, behenyl alcohol forms a protective layer on the skin that helps to prevent moisture loss.
This helps to trap moisture in the skin, improving the hydrated appearance of the skin.

Plus, behenyl alcohol does not leave a greasy feel after application as other emollients can.
Similarly, behenyl alcohol functions as an emollient in hair care products, working to increase the hair’s moisture content and improve manageability.
Behenyl alcohol can also provide slip to hair conditioners which allows you to detangle your hair better.



TEXTURE, BEHENYL ALCOHOL:
The texture, appearance, and feel of a product can have a big impact on how pleasant the product is to use.
Elements such as opacity and thickness are an important part of the formulating process.
For the most part, these elements are purely sensory.

However, the thickness of a product can have a mild impact on how evenly key ingredients are spread across the skin.
As an opacifying agent and a thickener, behenyl alcohol can be added to clear or transparent cosmetic formulations to render them more resistant to visible light.

This results in a creamy-looking formulation, think your facial moisturizer with that rich- light texture and color.
Behenyl alcohol’s thickening property allows products to achieve a more desirable, spreadable texture.
Thus, manufacturers will add behenyl alcohol to formulations to create a thick, smooth, and creamy product.



COMPARISON BETWEEN BEHENYL ALCOHOL AND CETEARYL ALCOHOL:
1. Behenyl Alcohol has a melting point (Melting Point) higher than Cetearyl Alcohol in the mixing process will require higher heat by melting at 70 degrees
2. Behenyl Alcohol will give the formula texture.
That is hard, similar to Butter, when compared to Cetearyl Alcohol, it gives a softer texture.



BEHENYL ALCOHOL, THE GOOD:
Behenyl alcohol helps the skin to retain moisture, improving the hydrated look of the skin.
Behenyl Alcohol also has many benefits to the texture and sensory feel of products.



BEHENYL ALCOHOL, THE NOT SO GOOD:
Nothing to keep an eye on here.



WHO IS BEHENYL ALCOHOL FOR?
All skin types except those that have an identified allergy to Behenyl Alcohol.



SYNERGETIC INGREDIENTS, BEHENYL ALCOHOL:
Behenyl Alcohol works well with most ingredients



BEHENYL ALCOHOL, KEEP AN EYE ON:
Despite having alcohol in its name, behenyl alcohol is not a drying ingredient.
This is because Behenyl Alcohol is a fatty alcohol.
Keep an eye out for other fatty alcohols such as Cetearyl Alcohol, Stearyl Alcohol, and Cetyl Alcohol.



IS BEHENYL ALCOHOL GOOD FOR SKIN?

Bentonite is a very soft plastic clay consisting predominantly of montmorillonite, a fine particle-sized hydrous aluminum silicate and member of the smectite group.
Most bentonites are formed by the alteration of volcanic ash and rocks after intense contact with water.
Bentonite presents strong colloidal properties and increases its volume several times when coming into contact with water, creating a gelatinous and viscous substance.
Bentonite's specific properties include swelling, water absorption, viscosity, and thixotropy.
These properties are in demand in a huge range of industries served by Imerys, earning Bentonite the nickname ‘the mineral with a thousand uses’.

Bentonite is comprised primarily of the smectite group (montmorillonite) of clay minerals.
Bentonite is widely used in various industrial applications such as clarification of edible and mineral oils, paints, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.
Bentonite is also used as an adsorbent for the elimination of pollutants from wastewater.
The swelling property of bentonite is used to produce viscous water suspensions for bonding, plasticizing, and suspending applications.
The presence of a large surface area of bentonite is due to the colloidal dispersion of the particles is the main reason for its application as an insecticide carrier, an emulsifier, and an emulsion stabilizer.

Bentonite is an absorbent swelling clay consisting mostly of montmorillonite (a type of smectite) which can either be Na-montmorillonite or Ca-montmorillonite.
Na-montmorillonite has a considerably greater swelling capacity than Ca-montmorillonite.

Bentonite usually forms from the weathering of volcanic ash in seawater, or by hydrothermal circulation through the porosity of volcanic ash beds, which converts (devitrification) the volcanic glass (obsidian, rhyolite, dacite) present in the ash into clay minerals.
In the mineral alteration process, a large fraction (up to 40-50 wt.%) of amorphous silica is dissolved and leached away, leaving the bentonite deposit in place.
Bentonite beds are white or pale blue or green (traces of reduced Fe2+) in fresh exposures, turning to a cream color and then yellow, red, or brown (traces of oxidized Fe3+) as the exposure is weathered further.

As a swelling clay, bentonite has the ability to absorb large quantities of water, which increases its volume by up to a factor of eight.
This makes bentonite beds unsuitable for building and road construction.
However, the swelling property is used to advantage in drilling mud and groundwater sealants.
The montmorillonite / smectite making up bentonite is an aluminium phyllosilicate mineral, which takes the form of microscopic platy grains.
These give the clay a very large total surface area, making bentonite a valuable adsorbent. The plates also adhere to each other when wet.
This gives the clay a cohesiveness that makes Bentonite useful as a binder and as an additive to improve the plasticity of kaolinite clay used for pottery.

One of the first findings of bentonite was in the Cretaceous Benton Shale near Rock River, Wyoming.
The Fort Benton Group, along with others in stratigraphic succession, was named after Fort Benton, Montana, in the mid-19th century by Fielding Bradford Meek and F. V. Hayden of the U.S. Geological Survey.
Bentonite has since been found in many other locations, including China and Greece (bentonite deposit of the Milos volcanic island in the Aegean Sea).
The total worldwide production of bentonite in 2018 was 20,400,000 metric tons.

Bentonite is a type of natural clay that is most famously used as an oil-absorbing agent in facial masks and other cosmetics.
While its absorbent properties are helpful for those with oily skin, Bentonite can be drying for other skin types (especially when used in very high amounts).
To overcome this, some formulators pair bentonite with hydrating/soothing ingredients.
These work to limit the absorbency of bentonite while still allowing skin to benefit without becoming dried out.

Bentonite is a crystalline, claylike mineral, and is available as an odorless, pale buff, or cream to grayish-colored fine powder, which is free from grit.
Bentonite consists of particles about 50–150 mm in size along with numerous particles about 1–2μm.
Microscopic examination of samples stained with alcoholic methylene blue solution reveals strongly stained blue particles.
Bentonite may have a slight earthy taste.
Bentonite is a light yellow, creamy, pale brown or gray to black powder or granules.

Uses
As of Fuller's earth; as emulsifier for oils; as a base for plasters.
Pharmaceutic aid (suspending agent).
Bentonite is used to regulate the viscosity and suspension properties of a cosmetic formulation.
Bentonite also acts as an overall formula stabilizer.
Bentonite’s water-absorption capabilities allow it to form a gelatinous mass.
Considered a noncomedogenic raw material, bentonite is a colloidal aluminum silicate clay.
Bentonite is a general purpose additive that is used as a pigment and colorant and to clarify and stabilize wine.

The main uses of bentonite are in drilling mud and as a binder, purifier, absorbent, and carrier for fertilizers or pesticides.
As of around 1990, almost half of the US production of bentonite was used as drilling mud.
Minor uses include filler, sealant, and catalyst in petroleum refining.
Calcium bentonite is sometimes marketed as fuller's earth, whose uses overlap with those of other forms of bentonite.

Agricultural Uses
Clays exist in many forms, of which montmorillonite is one form.
Kaolinite and montmorillonite, which are clay minerals, have different layer structures with differing abilities to absorb and retain water, and to adsorb and exchange cations.
Montmorillonites have an expanding structure (2: 1) and have high cation exchange capacity (80 to 120 mg per 100 g).
They have abundant black clay soils.
Other minerals in this group are biedellite and nontronite.

Bentonite, also known as montmorillonite, volcanic clay, soap clay and amargosite, is a soft, plastic, lightcolored, porous rock consisting largely of colloidal silica.
Composed essentially of clay minerals, Bentonite swells extensively when wet.
Bentonite belongs chiefly to the montmorillonite group and has two varieties: (a) sodium bentonite, with a high swelling capacity in water, and (b) calcium bentonite, with negligible swelling capacity.
Bentonite is used variously as a suspending aid, a gelatinous slurry to extinguish fire, a paint thickener, and as a sealant for earthen pots.
Bentonite is also widely used in metallurgy, soap manufacture, and in petroleum refining because of its high decolorizing power and strong adsorbing capacity.

Pharmaceutical Applications
Bentonite is a naturally occurring hydrated aluminum silicate used primarily in the formulation of suspensions, gels, and sols, for topical pharmaceutical applications.
Bentonite is also used to suspend powders in aqueous preparations and to prepare cream bases containing oil-in-water emulsifying agents.
Bentonite may also be used in oral pharmaceutical preparations, cosmetics, and food products.
In oral preparations, bentonite, and other similar silicate clays, can be used to adsorb cationic drugs and so retard their release.
Adsorbents are also used to mask the taste of certain drugs.
Bentonite has been investigated as a diagnostic agent for magnetic resonance imaging.
Therapeutically, bentonite has been investigated as an adsorbent for lithium poisoning.

Production Methods
Bentonite is a native, colloidal, hydrated aluminum silicate, found in regions of Canada and the USA.
The mined ore is processed to remove grit and nonswelling materials so that Bentonite is suitable for pharmaceutical applications.

Infobox references Benzaldehyde (C6H5CHO) is an organic compound consisting of a benzene ring with a formyl substituent. It is the simplest aromatic aldehyde and one of the most industrially useful. It is a colorless liquid with a characteristic almond-like odor. The primary component of bitter almond oil, benzaldehyde can be extracted from a number of other natural sources.[5] Synthetic benzaldehyde is the flavoring agent in imitation almond extract, which is used to flavor cakes and other baked goods.[6] Contents 1 History 2 Production 3 Occurrence 4 Reactions 5 Uses 5.1 Niche uses 6 Safety 7 References 8 External links History Benzaldehyde was first extracted in 1803 by the French pharmacist Martrès. His experiments focused on elucidating the nature of amygdalin, the poisonous material found in bitter almonds, the fruit of Prunus dulcis.[7] Further work on the oil by Pierre Robiquet and Antoine Boutron-Charlard, two French chemists, produced benzaldehyde.[8] In 1832, Friedrich Wöhler and Justus von Liebig first synthesized benzaldehyde.[9] Production As of 1999, 7000 tonnes of synthetic and 100 tonnes of natural benzaldehyde were produced annually.[10] Liquid phase chlorination and oxidation of toluene are the main routes. Numerous other methods have been developed, such as the partial oxidation of benzyl alcohol, alkali hydrolysis of benzal chloride, and the carbonylation of benzene.[11] A significant quantity of natural benzaldehyde is produced from cinnamaldehyde obtained from cassia oil by the retro-aldol reaction:[10] the cinnamaldehyde is heated in an aqueous/alcoholic solution between 90 °C and 150 °C with a base (most commonly sodium carbonate or bicarbonate) for 5 to 80 hours,[12] followed by distillation of the formed benzaldehyde. This reaction also yields acetaldehyde. The natural status of benzaldehyde obtained in this way is controversial.[10] "Site-specific nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy", which evaluates 1H/2H isotope ratios, has been used to differentiate between naturally occurring and synthetic benzaldehyde.[13] Occurrence Benzaldehyde and similar chemicals occur naturally in many foods. Most of the benzaldehyde that people eat is from natural plant foods, such as almonds.[14] Almonds, apricots, apples, and cherry kernels contain significant amounts of amygdalin. This glycoside breaks up under enzyme catalysis into benzaldehyde, hydrogen cyanide and two equivalents of glucose.

Since the boiling point of benzoic acid is much higher than that of benzaldehyde, it may be purified by distillation. Benzyl alcohol can be formed from benzaldehyde by means of hydrogenation. Reaction of benzaldehyde with anhydrous sodium acetate and acetic anhydride yields cinnamic acid, while alcoholic potassium cyanide can be used to catalyze the condensation of benzaldehyde to benzoin. Benzaldehyde undergoes disproportionation upon treatment with concentrated alkali (Cannizzaro reaction): one molecule of the aldehyde is reduced to the benzyl alcohol and another molecule is simultaneously oxidized to benzoic acid. Cannizzaro reaction With diols, including many sugars, benzaldehyde condenses to form benzylidene acetals. Uses Benzaldehyde is commonly employed to confer almond flavor to foods and scented products. It is sometimes used in cosmetics products.[17] In industrial settings, benzaldehyde is used chiefly as a precursor to other organic compounds, ranging from pharmaceuticals to plastic additives. The aniline dye malachite green is prepared from benzaldehyde and dimethylaniline. Benzaldehyde is also a precursor to certain acridine dyes. Via aldol condensations, benzaldehyde is converted into derivatives of cinnamaldehyde and styrene. The synthesis of mandelic acid starts with the addition of hydrocyanic acid to benzaldehyde: mandelic acid synthesis The resulting cyanohydrin is hydrolysed to mandelic acid. (The scheme above depicts only one of the two formed enantiomers). Niche uses Benzaldehyde is used as a bee repellent.[18] A small amount of benzaldehyde solution is placed on a fume board near the honeycombs. The bees then move away from the honey combs to avoid the fumes.[19] The beekeeper can then remove the honey frames from the bee hive with less risk to both bees and beekeeper. Additionally, benzaldehyde is also used as a flavour chemical in JUUL e-cigarette pods, particularly the "Cool Mint", "Cool Cucumber", and "Fruit Medley" varieties. The concentration is relatively low, at ~1 μg/mL.[20] Safety As used in food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and soap, benzaldehyde is "generally regarded as safe" (GRAS) by the US FDA[21] and FEMA.[14] This status was reaffirmed after a review in 2005.[14] It is accepted in the European Union as a flavoring agent.[17] Toxicology studies indicate that it is safe and non-carcinogenic in the concentrations used for foods and cosmetics,[17] and may even have anti-carcinogenic (anti-cancer) properties.[17] For a 70 kg human, the lethal dose is estimated at 50 mL.[11] An acceptable daily intake of 15 mg/day has been identified for benzaldehyde by the United States Environmental Protection Agency.[22] Benzaldehyde does not accumulate in human tissues.[17] It is metabolized and then excreted in urine.[17] Benzaldehyde Chemical Properties,Uses,Production description Benzaldehyde is an organic compound, and is synthetized by the way that the hydrogen of benzene is substituted by aldehyde. It is the most simple, and also the most commonly used industrial aromatic aldehyde. It is a colorless liquid at room temperature and has a special almond odor. Benzaldehyde is a compound that aldehyde is directly linked to the phenyl group, because it has a similar bitter almond flavor. Benzaldehyde widely exists in plant, especially in the Rosaceae plants. It is mainly in the form of glycosides in plant stem bark, leaves or seeds, such as amygdalin, bitter almond, cherry, laurel, peach. Benzaldehyde is naturally in bitter almond oil, patchouli oil, hyacinth oil, cananga oil. The compound is also in the nutlets and nuts, and exists in the form of Amygdalin, which is combination of glycosides. The chemical properties of Benzaldehyde is similar to that of aliphatic aldehydes, but It is also different. Benzaldehyde cannot reduce fehling reagent. When the reducing fat is used to reduce the benzaldehyde, the main products are benzene methanol, four substituted for the ortho-glycol and two-phenyl ethylene glycol. In the presence of potassium cyanide, two molecules of benzaldehyde form benzoin by acceptance the hydrogen atom. The substitution reaction in aromatic nucleus of benzaldehyde is mainly the meta-position product. For example, the main product is the m-nitrobenzaldehyde , when benzaldehyde is nitrated. benzaldehyde structure benzaldehyde structure Chemical Properties Benzaldehyde is the main, characteristic component of bitter almond oil. It occurs in many other essential oils and is a colorless liquid with a bitter almond odor. In the absence of inhibitors, benzaldehyde undergoes autoxidation to perbenzoic acid, which reacts with a second molecule of benzaldehyde to yield benzoic acid. Hydrogenation of benzaldehyde yields benzyl alcohol, and condensation with aliphatic aldehydes leads to additional fragrance substances or their unsaturated intermediates.Unsaturated araliphatic acids are obtained through the Perkin reaction, for example, the reaction with acetic anhydride to give cinnamic acid. Benzaldehyde is used in aroma compositions for its bitter almond odor. It is the starting material for a large number of araliphatic fragrance and flavor materials. Uses 1. Benzaldehyde is an important raw material for medicine, dyestuff, perfume and resin industry. It also can be used as solvent, plasticizer and low temperature lubricant. In essence, it is mainly used for the deployment of food flavor. A small amount of benzaldehyde is daily use in flavor and flavor of tobacco. In spite of being widely used as commercial food condiment and industrial solvents, the main use of benzyl alcohol is still used to synthesize a variety of other compounds from pharmaceuticals to plastic additives. Benzyl alcohol is an important intermediate product in the production of perfumes, spices, and some aniline dyes. Mandelic acid was synthesized by benzaldehyde as the starting reagent: With the first hydrocyanic acid reacts with benzaldehyde, then mandelonitrile hydrolyzed to Racemic mandelic acid. Glacialist LaChepelle and Stillman reported Ice crystallization is inhibited by benzaldehyde and aldehydes ice in 1966, so as to prevent the thick frost formation (Depth Hoar). This process can prevent snowslide caused by the instability of the snow cover. However, this compound has not been used extensively, because of the destruction of vegetation and polluted water sources. 2.It is mainly used for the preparation of flavors, such as almond, cherry, peach, nuts, etc., the amount is up to 40%. As aromatizing agent canned cherry syrup, adding amount is sugar 3mL/kg. 3. Pharmaceutical, dyestuff, spice intermediates. For the production of oxygen based benzene formaldehyde, lauric acid, lauric aldehyde, malachite, benzyl benzoate, benzyl aniline and benzylidene acetone etc.. Used to tune the soap flavor, edible essence, etc. 4. As the head of the special aroma, it is used trace formula for fragrance, such as lilac, white, violet, jasmine, acacia, sunflower, sweet plum, orange flower, Tofu pudding etc.. Also it is used in soap. Also it can be used as edible spices for almond, coconut cream, berries, cherries, apricots, peaches, plums, walnuts, and vanilla bean, spicy flavor. Wine with flavors such as rum, brandy, etc. 5. Benzaldehyde is an intermediate of herbicide resistance, plant growth regulator, and anti-amine. 6. Used as a reagent for the determination of ozone, phenol, alkaloid and methylene. Used in the preparation of spices. Production Benzaldehyde can be prepared by a variety of ways. Obtained from natural essential oils by fractionation. Ozone oxidation and thiourea reduction reaction of natural cinnamon oil (containing cinnamaldehyde constituent 80% or more) Catalytic oxidation of Toluene Hydrolyze dichloromethane under alkaline conditions. reactions Benzaldehyde can be slowly oxidized to benzoic acid in air, so a small amount of hydroquinone is often added to prevent its oxidation. There is no α-H atom in the benzaldehyde molecule. Disproportionation reaction(Cannizarro reaction) may occur under the action of concentrated alkali: Heating benzaldehyde in the presence of catalyst of cyanide ion, it will occur bimolecular condensation: Chemical Properties Benzaldehyde is a colorless to yellow, oily liquid with an odor of bitter almonds. Benzaldehyde is commercially available in two grades: (i) pure benzaldehyde and (ii) and double-distilled benzaldehyde. The latter has applications in the pharmaceutical, perfume, and fl avor industries. Benzaldehyde may contain trace amounts of chlorine, water, benzoic acid, benzyl chloride, benzyl alcohol, and/or nitrobenzene. Benzaldehyde is ignited relatively easily on contact with hot surfaces. This has been attributed to the property of very low auto-ignition temperature. Benzaldehyde also undergoes autoxidation in air and is liable to self-heat. Benzaldehyde exists in nature, occurring in combined and uncombined forms in many plants. Benzaldehyde is also the main constituent of the essential oils obtained by pressing the kernels of peaches, cherries, apricots, and other fruits. Benzaldehyde is released into the environment in emissions from combustion processes, such as gasoline and diesel engines, incinerators, and wood burning. It is formed in the atmosphere through photochemical oxidation of toluene and other aromatic hydrocarbons. Benzaldehyde is corrosive to gray and ductile cast iron (10% solution), and all concentrations of lead. However, pure benzaldehyde is not corrosive to cast iron. Benzaldehyde does not attack most of the common metals, like stainless steels, aluminum, aluminum bronze, nickel and nickel-base alloys, bronze, naval brass, tantalum, titanium, and zirconium. On decomposition, benzaldehyde releases peroxybenzoic acid and benzoic acidBenzaldehyde is used in perfumes, soaps, foods, drinks, and other products; as a solvent for oils, resins, some cellulose ethers, cellulose acetate, and cellulose nitrate. The uses of benzaldehyde in industries are extensive. For instance, in the production of derivatives that are employed in the perfume and fl avor industries, like cinnamaldehyde, cinnamyl alcohol, cinnamic acid, benzylacetone, and benzyl benzoate, in the production of triphenylmethane dyes and the acridine dye, benzofl avin; as an intermediate in the pharmaceutical industry, for instance, to make chloramphenicol, ephedrin, and ampicillin, as an intermediate to make benzoin, benzylamine, benzyl alcohol, mandelic acid, and 4-phenyl-3-buten-2-one (benzylideneacetone), in photochemistry, as a corrosion inhibitor and dyeing auxiliary, in the electroplating industry, and in the production of agricultural chemicals Occurrence Present as cyanuric glucoside (amygdalin) in bitter almond, peach, apricot kernel and other Prunus species; amygdalin is also present in various parts of the following plants: Sambucus nigra, Chrysophyllum arlen, Anacyclus officinarnm, Anacyclus pedunculatus, Davallia brasiliensis, Lacuma deliciosa, Lacuma multiflora and others; free benzaldehyde has been reported found in several essential oils: hyacinth, citronella, orris, cinnamon, sassafras, labdanum and patchouli.

Uses Benzaldehyde is a flavoring agent which is liquid and colorless, and has an almond-like odor. it has a hot (burning) taste. it is oxidized to benzoic acid when exposed to air and deteriorates under light. it is miscible in volatile oils, fixed oils, ether, and alcohol; it is spar- ingly soluble in water. it is obtained by chemical synthesis and by natural occurrence in oils of bitter almond, peach, and apricot kernel. it is also termed benzoic aldehyde. Definition A yellow organic oil with a distinct almondlike odor. Benzenecarbaldehyde undergoes the reactions characteristic of aldehydes and may be synthesized in the laboratory by the usual methods of aldehyde synthesis. It is used as a food flavoring and in the manufacture of dyes and antibiotics, and can be readily manufactured by the chlorination of methylbenzene and the subsequent hydrolysis of (dichloromethyl) benzene: C6H5CH3 + Cl2 →C6H5CHCl2 C6H5CHCl2 + 2H2O →C6H5CH(OH)2+ 2HCl C6H5CH(OH)2 →C6H5CHO + H2O. Preparation Benzaldehyde is prepared by hydrolysis of benzal chloride, for example, in acidic media in the presence of a catalyst such as ferric chloride or in alkaline media with aqueous sodium carbonate. Part of the commercially available benzaldehyde originates from a technical process for phenol. In this process, benzaldehyde is a by-product in the oxidation, in air, of toluene to benzoic acid. Reactions Benzaldehyde reacts with many chemicals in a marked manner: (1) with ammonio-silver nitrate (“Tollen’s solution”) to form metallic silver, either as a black precipitate or as an adherent mirror film on glass (but does not reduce alkaline cupric solution, “Fehling’s solution”); (2) with rosaniline (fuchsine, magenta) that has been decolorized by sulfurous acid (“Schiff’s solution”), restoring the pink color of rosaniline; (3) with NaOH solution, yielding benzyl alcohol and sodium benzoate; (4) with NH4OH, yielding tribenzaldeamine (hydrobenzamide, (C6H5CH)3N2), white solid, mp 101 °C, (5) with aniline, yielding benzylideneaniline (“Schiff’s base” C6H5CH:NC6H5); (6) with sodium cyanide in alcohol, yielding benzoin C6H5·CHOHCOC6H5, white solid, mp 133 °C; (7) with hydroxylamine hydrochloride, yielding benzaldoximes C6H5CH:NOH, white solids, antioxime, mp 35 °C, syn-oxime, mp 130 °C; (8) with phenylhydrazine, yields benzaldehyde phenylhydrazone C6H5CH:NNHC6H5, pink solid, mp 156 °C; (9) with concentrated HNO3, yields metanitrobenzaldehyde NO2·C6H4CHO, white solid, mp 58 °C; (10) with concentrated H2SO4 yields metabenzaldehyde sulfonic acid C6H4CHO (SO3H)2, (11) with anhydrous sodium acetate and acetic anhydride at 180 °C, yielding sodium benzoate C6H5CHOONa (12) with sodium hydrogen sulfite, forming benzaldehyde sodium bisulfite C6H5CHOHSO3Na, a white solid, from which benzaldehyde is readily recoverable by treatment with sodium carbonate solution; (13) with acetaldehyde made slightly alkaline with NaOH, yielding cinnamic aldehyde C6H5CH:CHCHO, (14) with phosphorus pentachloride, yielding benzylidine chloride C6H5CHCl2.

Flash point near 145°F. More denser than water and insoluble in water. Hence sinks in water. Vapors are heavier than air. The primary hazard is to the environment. Immediate steps should be taken to limit spread to the environment. Easily penetrates the soil to contaminate groundwater and nearby waterways. Used in flavoring and perfume making. Air & Water Reactions Oxidizes in air to form benzoic acid, which is moderately toxic by ingestion. Insoluble in water. Reactivity Profile A nontoxic, combustible liquid, reacts with oxidizing reagents. Benzaldehyde must be blanketed with an inert gas at all times since Benzaldehyde is oxidized readily by air to benzoic acid [Kirk-Othmer, 3rd ed., Vol. 3, 1978, p. 736]. In contact with strong acids or bases Benzaldehyde will undergo an exothermic condensation reaction [Sax, 9th ed., 1996, p. 327]. A violent reaction was observed on contact with peroxyacids (peroxyformic acid) [DiAns, J. et al., Ber., 1915, 48, p. 1136]. An explosion occurred when pyrrolidine, Benzaldehyde, and propionic acid were heated to form porphyrins. Hazard Highly toxic. Health Hazard Benzaldehyde exhibited low to moderate toxicityin test animals, the poisoning effectdepending on dosage. Ingestion of 50–60 mLmay be fatal to humans. Oral intake of a largedose can cause tremor, gastrointestinal pain,and kidney damage. Animal experimentsindicated that ingestion of this compoundby guinea pigs caused tremor, bleeding fromsmall intestine, and an increase in urine volume;in rats, ingestion resulted in somnolenceand coma. LD50 value, oral (guinea pigs): 1000 mg/kg LD50 value, oral (rats): 1300 mg/kg A 500-mg amount for a 24-hour periodresulted in moderate skin irritation in rabbits.Because of its low toxicity, high boilingpoint, and low vapor pressure, the healthhazard to humans from exposure to benzaldehydeis very low. Fire Hazard HIGHLY FLAMMABLE: Will be easily ignited by heat, sparks or flames. Vapors may form explosive mixtures with air. Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. Most vapors are heavier than air. They will spread along ground and collect in low or confined areas (sewers, basements, tanks). Vapor explosion hazard indoors, outdoors or in sewers. Runoff to sewer may create fire or explosion hazard. Containers may explode when heated. Many liquids are lighter than water. Chemical Reactivity Reactivity with Water: No reaction; Reactivity with Common Materials: No reactions; Stability During Transport: Stable; Neutralizing Agents for Acids and Caustics: Not pertinent; Polymerization: Not pertinent; Inhibitor of Polymerization: Not pertinent. Pharmacology Benzaldehyde significantly inhibited peptic activity in artificial gastric juice in vitro (20-45% inhibition) and in vivo to the extent of 87% in normal healthy persons and ulcer patients (Kleeberg, 1959). As a freshly prepared 1:500 solution, it exerted a marked antispasmodic effect, relaxing the tonus and inhibiting contractions of various isolated smooth muscles of dog, cat, rat, rabbit, mouse, guinea-pig, pig and frog and of a few human tissues. Injected into rabbits and other animals it produced a marked relaxation of the intestines and urinary bladder and marked vasodilation of the splanchnic vessel. Injection of 4 ml of a 5% solution iv into a cat caused a fall in blood pressure and slowing of respiration. In dogs, 1 ml injected iv or sc or 2 ml/kg given orally produced only a slight slowing of respiration. Injection of larger doses iv produced only a drop in blood pressure, slight slowing of respiration and inhibition of intestinal contractions, with vasodilation of the splanchnic vessel. In rabbits, iv injection of 20 ml of a 0-2% solution did not produce dangerous results. Large injected doses of benzaldehyde exert their mosjt important toxic effects on the medulla, with slowing or paralysis of respiration. In the intact animal, the heart is very little affected; but benzaldehyde acts as a muscular depressant on isolated frog heart (Macht, 1922). Treatment of isolated rat striated muscle for 1-5 min with 30 mM-benzaldehyde increased the rate of propagation of contractures and the rate of structural breakdown of injured striated muscle fibres. After more prolonged application (for 30 min), the rapid propagation of contracture continued but the structural breakdown was inhibited (Busing, 1972). Benzaldehyde possessed definite local anaesthetic properties in the sciatic nerves of cats, dogs and frogs, in the eyes of rabbits and dogs (accompanied by irritation) and in the skin of frogs, but was considered unsuitable for practical use because of its rapid oxidation to benzoic acid (Macht, 1922). In a study of the toxic effects of cherry laurel water on mice and on isolated rat intestine, benzaldehyde was found to aid in the detoxication of HCN by the formation of C6H5?CH(OH)?CN (Lanza & Conte, 1964). Benzaldehyde did not act as a cross-linking (tanning) agent for corium and aorta, since in a 015 M solution it did not increase the observed in vitro hydrothermal shrinkage temperatures of goat skin and human, bovine and canine aortae (Milch, 1965). The intestinal absorption-rate coefficients of benzaldehyde and related compounds were determined by perfusion of aqueous solutions through the small intestines of anaesthetized rats (Nogami, Hanano & Yamada, 1968). No changes in gastric motor patterns, including gastric motility, were observed in rats after inhalation of "toxic levels" (not specified) of benzaldehyde from a liquid sample placed in a test chamber using recirculated air, or from a saturated paper applied to the trachea (Roth & Tansy, 1972). Benzaldehyde in a concentration of 0-1 mmol/litre caused a 16% depression of the frequency of electric-organ discharge in the mormyrid electric fish Gnathonemus moori (Walsh & Schopp, 1966). Safety Profile Poison by ingestion and intraperitoneal routes. Moderately toxic by subcutaneous route. An allergen. Acts as a feeble local anesthetic. Local contact may cause contact dermatitis. Causes central nervous system depression in small doses and convulsions in larger doses. A skin irritant. Questionable carcinogen with experimental tumorigenic data. Mutation data reported. Combustible liquid. To fight fire, use water (may be used as a blanket), alcohol, foam, dry chemical. A strong reducing agent. Reacts violently with peroxyformic acid and other oxidizers. See also ALDEHYDES. Chemical Synthesis Natural benzaldehyde is obtained by extraction and subsequent fractional distillation from botanical sources; synthetically, from benzyl chloride and lime or by oxidation of toluene Potential Exposure In manufacture of perfumes, dyes, and cinnamic acid; as solvent; in flavors. Metabolism Benzaldehyde was among 300 volatile constituents detected in the urine of ten adults . It is commonly converted to hippuric acid in vivo. In the rabbit and dog, hippuric acid appears to be the only metabolite there being practically no formation of benzoyl glucuronide. The conversion of benzaldehyde to benzoic acid in the rabbit follows first-order reaction kinetics storage Benzaldehyde should be kept stored in a tightly closed container and protected against physical damage. Storage of the chemical substance outside or in a detached area is preferred, whereas inside storage should be in a standard flammable liquids storage room or cabinet. Benzaldehyde should be kept separated from oxidizing materials. Also, storage and use areas should be no smoking areas. Containers of this material may be hazardous when empty since they retain product residues (vapors, liquid); observe all warnings and precautions listed for the product Shipping UN1990 Benzaldehyde, Hazard class: 9; Labels: 9—Miscellaneous hazardous material. Purification Methods To diminish its rate of oxidation, benzaldehyde usually contains additives such as hydroquinone or catechol. It can be purified via its bisulfite addition compound but usually distillation (under nitrogen at reduced pressure) is sufficient. Prior to distillation it is washed with NaOH or 10% Na2CO3 (until no more CO2 is evolved), then with saturated Na2SO3 and H2O, followed by drying with CaSO4, MgSO4 or CaCl2. [Beilstein 7 IV 505.] Incompatibilities The substance reacts with air, forming explosive peroxides. Reacts violently with performic acid, oxidants, aluminum, iron, bases, and phenol, causing fire and explosion hazard. May self-ignite if absorbed in combustible material with large surface area, or otherwise dispersed over large areas. Reacts with rust, amines, alkalies, strong bases, reducing agents such as hydrideds and active metals. Waste Disposal Incineration; add combustible solvent and spray into incinerator with afterburner. Precautions Workers should be careful when using benzaldehyde because there is a risk of spontaneous combustion. It may ignite spontaneously if it is absorbed onto rags, cleaning cloths, clothing, sawdust, diatomaceous earth (kieselguhr), activated charcoal, or other materials with large surface areas in workplaces. Workers should avoid handling the chemical substance and should not cut, puncture, or weld on or near the container. Exposure of benzaldehyde to air, light, heat, hot surfaces such as hot pipes, sparks, open flames, and other ignition sources should be avoided. Workers should wear proper personal protective clothing and equipment Benzaldehyde Preparation Products And Raw materials

Also, Benzene can damage the immune system by changing blood levels of antibodies and causing the loss of white blood cells.
The seriousness of poisoning caused by benzene depends on the amount, route, and length of time of exposure, as well as the age and preexisting medical condition of the exposed person.

Uses of Benzene:
At one time, benzene was obtained almost entirely from coal tar.
However, since about 1950, these methods have been replaced by petroleum-based processes.

More than half of the benzene produced each year is converted to ethylbenzene, then to styrene, and then to polystyrene.
The next largest use of benzene is in the preparation of phenol.
Other uses include the preparation of aniline (for dyes) and dodecylbenzene (for detergents).

Benzene is used as a constituent in motor fuels; as a solvent for fats, waxes, resins, oils, inks, paints, plastics, and rubber; in the extraction of oils from seeds and nuts; and in photogravure printing.
Benzene is also used as a chemical intermediate.

Benzene production is currently expanding in the Middle East and in Africa, whereas production capacities in Western Europe and North America are stagnating.

Toluene is now often used as a substitute for benzene, for instance as a fuel additive.
The solvent-properties of the two are similar, but toluene is less toxic and has a wider liquid range.
Toluene is also processed into benzene.

Component of gasoline:
As a gasoline (petrol) additive, benzene increases the octane rating and reduces knocking.
As a consequence, gasoline often contained several percent benzene before the 1950s, when tetraethyl lead replaced Benzene as the most widely used antiknock additive.

With the global phaseout of leaded gasoline, benzene has made a comeback as a gasoline additive in some nations.
In the United States, concern over Benzene negative health effects and the possibility of benzene entering the groundwater has led to stringent regulation of gasoline's benzene content, with limits typically around 1%.

European petrol specifications now contain the same 1% limit on benzene content.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency introduced new regulations in 2011 that lowered the benzene content in gasoline to 0.62%.

In many European languages, the word for petroleum or gasoline is an exact cognate of "benzene".

Applications of Benzene:

Early Applications:
In the 19th and early 20th centuries, benzene was used as an after-shave lotion because of Benzene pleasant smell.
Prior to the 1920s, benzene was frequently used as an industrial solvent, especially for degreasing metal.
As Benzene toxicity became obvious, benzene was supplanted by other solvents, especially toluene (methylbenzene), which has similar physical properties but is not as carcinogenic.

In 1903, Ludwig Roselius popularized the use of benzene to decaffeinate coffee.
This discovery led to the production of Sanka.

This process was later discontinued.
Benzene was historically used as a significant component in many consumer products such as liquid wrench, several paint strippers, rubber cements, spot removers, and other products.
Manufacture of some of these benzene-containing formulations ceased in about 1950, although Liquid Wrench continued to contain significant amounts of benzene until the late 1970s.

Benefits of Benzene:
As a building block chemical, benzene is reacted with other chemicals to produce a variety of other chemistries, materials and, ultimately, consumer goods.

Benzene is used to make other chemicals like ethylbenzene, cumene and cyclohexane, which are then reacted and used in the manufacture of a variety of materials and plastics such as polystyrene, ABS, and nylon.
There can be many steps in the process that starts with the benzene molecule and ends with a completed material or consumer product.
For example, benzene is a building block used to make ethylbenzene, which is then used to make styrene, which is used to make polystyrene.

The end material, polystyrene, is a completely different material chemically than benzene.

For consumer products where benzene is used as a building block or intermediate, the benzene is typically fully reacted in a closed system, with little to no benzene remaining in the finished consumer product.
Benzene also is used to make some types of lubricants, rubbers, dyes, detergents, drugs, explosives and pesticides.

Benzene is naturally found in crude oil.
Crude oil is refined into gasoline by using heat, pressure and chemicals in the refinery to separate the spectrum of petroleum products from crude oil.
The refining process yields gasoline and a number of other petroleum products, including diesel and jet fuels, solvents, lubricating oils, many of which include small amounts of benzene.

Characteristics of Benzene:
Modern bonding models (valence-bond and molecular orbital theories) explain the structure and stability of benzene in terms of delocalization of six of Benzene electrons, where delocalization in this case refers to the attraction of an electron by all six carbons of the ring instead of just one or two of them. This delocalization causes the electrons to be more strongly held, making benzene more stable and less reactive than expected for an unsaturated hydrocarbon.
As a result, the hydrogenation of benzene occurs somewhat more slowly than the hydrogenation of alkenes (other organic compounds that contain carbon-carbon double bonds), and benzene is much more difficult to oxidize than alkenes.

Most of the reactions of benzene belong to a class called electrophilic aromatic substitution that leave the ring itself intact but replace one of the attached hydrogens.
These reactions are versatile and widely used to prepare derivatives of benzene.

Experimental studies, especially those employing X-ray diffraction, show benzene to have a planar structure with each carbon-carbon bond distance equal to 1.40 angstroms (Å).
This value is exactly halfway between the C=C distance (1.34 Å) and C—C distance (1.46 Å) of a C=C—C=C unit, suggesting a bond type midway between a double bond and a single bond (all bond angles are 120°).
Benzene has a boiling point of 80.1 °C (176.2 °F) and a melting point of 5.5 °C (41.9 °F), and Benzene is freely soluble in organic solvents, but only slightly soluble in water.

Occurrence of Benzene:
Trace amounts of benzene are found in petroleum and coal.
Benzene is a byproduct of the incomplete combustion of many materials.

For commercial use, until World War II, much of benzene was obtained as a by-product of coke production (or "coke-oven light oil") for the steel industry.
However, in the 1950s, increased demand for benzene, especially from the growing polymers industry, necessitated the production of benzene from petroleum.

Today, most benzene comes from the petrochemical industry, with only a small fraction being produced from coal.
Benzene molecules have been detected on Mars.

Reactions of Benzene:
The most common reactions of benzene involve substitution of a proton by other groups.
Electrophilic aromatic substitution is a general method of derivatizing benzene.
Benzene is sufficiently nucleophilic that Benzene undergoes substitution by acylium ions and alkyl carbocations to give substituted derivatives.

The most widely practiced example of this reaction is the ethylation of benzene.

Approximately 24,700,000 tons were produced in 1999.
Highly instructive but of far less industrial significance is the Friedel-Crafts alkylation of benzene (and many other aromatic rings) using an alkyl halide in the presence of a strong Lewis acid catalyst.

Similarly, the Friedel-Crafts acylation is a related example of electrophilic aromatic substitution.
The reaction involves the acylation of benzene (or many other aromatic rings) with an acyl chloride using a strong Lewis acid catalyst such as aluminium chloride or Iron(III) chloride.

Sulfonation, chlorination, nitration:
Using electrophilic aromatic substitution, many functional groups are introduced onto the benzene framework.
Sulfonation of benzene involves the use of oleum, a mixture of sulfuric acid with sulfur trioxide.

Sulfonated benzene derivatives are useful detergents.
In nitration, benzene reacts with nitronium ions (NO2+), which is a strong electrophile produced by combining sulfuric and nitric acids.

Nitrobenzene is the precursor to aniline.
Chlorination is achieved with chlorine to give chlorobenzene in the presence of a Lewis acid catalyst such as aluminium tri-chloride.

Hydrogenation:
Via hydrogenation, benzene and Benzene derivatives convert to cyclohexane and derivatives.
This reaction is achieved by the use of high pressures of hydrogen in the presence of heterogeneous catalysts, such as finely divided nickel.

Whereas alkenes can be hydrogenated near room temperatures, benzene and related compounds are more reluctant substrates, requiring temperatures >100 °C.
This reaction is practiced on a large scale industrially. In the absence of the catalyst, benzene is impervious to hydrogen.

Hydrogenation cannot be stopped to give cyclohexene or cyclohexadienes as these are superior substrates.
Birch reduction, a non catalytic process, however selectively hydrogenates benzene to the diene.

Metal complexes:
Benzene is an excellent ligand in the organometallic chemistry of low-valent metals.
Important examples include the sandwich and half-sandwich complexes, respectively, Cr(C6H6)2 and [RuCl2(C6H6)]2.

Resonance of Benzene:
The oscillating double bonds in the benzene ring are explained with the help of resonance structures as per valence bond theory.
All the carbon atoms in the benzene ring are sp2 hybridized.

One of the two sp2 hybridized orbitals of one atom overlaps with the sp2 orbital of adjacent carbon atom forming six C-C sigma bonds.
Other left sp2 hybridized orbitals combine with s orbital of hydrogen to form six C-H sigma bonds. Remaining unhybridized p orbitals of carbon atoms form π bonds with adjacent carbon atoms by lateral overlap.

This explains an equal possibility for the formation of C1 –C2, C3 – C4, C5 – C6 π bonds or C2 – C3, C4 – C5, C6-C1 π bonds.
The hybrid structure is represented by inserting a circle in the ring as shown below in the figure.
Hence, Benzene explains the formation of two resonance structures proposed by Kekule.

Aromaticity of Benzene:
Benzene is an aromatic compound, as the C-C bonds formed in the ring are not exactly single or double, rather they are of intermediate length.
Aromatic compounds are divided into two categories: benzenoids (one containing benzene ring) and non-benzenoids (those not containing benzene ring), provided they follow Huckel rule.

According to Huckel rule, for a ring to be aromatic Benzene should have the following property:
Planarity
Complete delocalization of the π electrons in the ring
Presence of (4n + 2) π electrons in the ring where n is an integer (n = 0, 1, 2, . . .)

Structure of Benzene:
X-ray diffraction shows that all six carbon-carbon bonds in benzene are of the same length, at 140 picometres (pm).
The C–C bond lengths are greater than a double bond (135 pm) but shorter than a single bond (147 pm).

This intermediate distance is caused by electron delocalization: the electrons for C=C bonding are distributed equally between each of the six carbon atoms.
Benzene has 6 hydrogen atoms, fewer than the corresponding parent alkane, hexane, which has 14.

Benzene and cyclohexane have a similar structure, only the ring of delocalized electrons and the loss of one hydrogen per carbon distinguishes Benzene from cyclohexane.
The molecule is planar.

The molecular orbital description involves the formation of three delocalized π orbitals spanning all six carbon atoms, while the valence bond description involves a superposition of resonance structures.
Benzene is likely that this stability contributes to the peculiar molecular and chemical properties known as aromaticity.
To accurately reflect the nature of the bonding, benzene is often depicted with a circle inside a hexagonal arrangement of carbon atoms.

Derivatives of benzene occur sufficiently often as a component of organic molecules, so much so that the Unicode Consortium has allocated a symbol in the Miscellaneous Technical block with the code U+232C (⌬) to represent Benzene with three double bonds, and U+23E3 (⏣) for a delocalized version.

Benzene derivatives:
Many important chemical compounds are derived from benzene by replacing one or more of Benzene hydrogen atoms with another functional group.
Examples of simple benzene derivatives are phenol, toluene, and aniline, abbreviated PhOH, PhMe, and PhNH2, respectively.

Linking benzene rings gives biphenyl, C6H5–C6H5.
Further loss of hydrogen gives "fused" aromatic hydrocarbons, such as naphthalene, anthracene, phenanthrene, and pyrene.
The limit of the fusion process is the hydrogen-free allotrope of carbon, graphite.

In heterocycles, carbon atoms in the benzene ring are replaced with other elements.
The most important variations contain nitrogen.

Replacing one CH with N gives the compound pyridine, C5H5N.
Although benzene and pyridine are structurally related, benzene cannot be converted into pyridine.
Replacement of a second CH bond with N gives, depending on the location of the second N, pyridazine, pyrimidine, or pyrazine.

History of Benzene:

Discovery:
The word "benzene" derives from "gum benzoin" (benzoin resin), an aromatic resin known since ancient times in Southeast Asia; and later to European pharmacists and perfumers in the 16th century via trade routes.
An acidic material was derived from benzoin by sublimation, and named "flowers of benzoin", or benzoic acid.

The hydrocarbon derived from benzoic acid thus acquired the name benzin, benzol, or benzene.
Michael Faraday first isolated and identified benzene in 1825 from the oily residue derived from the production of illuminating gas, giving Benzene the name bicarburet of hydrogen.

In 1833, Eilhard Mitscherlich produced Benzene by distilling benzoic acid (from gum benzoin) and lime.
He gave the compound the name benzin.

In 1836, the French chemist Auguste Laurent named Benzene "phène".
This word has become the root of the English word "phenol", which is hydroxylated benzene, and "phenyl", the radical formed by abstraction of a hydrogen atom (free radical H•) from benzene.

In 1845, Charles Blachford Mansfield, working under August Wilhelm von Hofmann, isolated benzene from coal tar.
Four years later, Mansfield began the first industrial-scale production of benzene, based on the coal-tar method.

Gradually, the sense developed among chemists that a number of substances were chemically related to benzene, comprising a diverse chemical family.
In 1855, Hofmann used the word "aromatic" to designate this family relationship, after a characteristic property of many of Benzene members.
In 1997, benzene was detected in deep space.

Ring formula of Benzene:
The empirical formula for benzene was long known, but Benzene highly polyunsaturated structure, with just one hydrogen atom for each carbon atom, was challenging to determine.
Archibald Scott Couper in 1858 and Johann Josef Loschmidt in 1861 suggested possible structures that contained multiple double bonds or multiple rings, but too little evidence was then available to help chemists decide on any particular structure.

In 1865, the German chemist Friedrich August Kekulé published a paper in French (for he was then teaching in Francophone Belgium) suggesting that the structure contained a ring of six carbon atoms with alternating single and double bonds.
The next year he published a much longer paper in German on the same subject.

Kekulé used evidence that had accumulated in the intervening years—namely, that there always appeared to be only one isomer of any monoderivative of benzene, and that there always appeared to be exactly three isomers of every disubstituted derivative—now understood to correspond to the ortho, meta, and para patterns of arene substitution—to argue in support of his proposed structure.
Kekulé's symmetrical ring could explain these curious facts, as well as benzene's 1:1 carbon-hydrogen ratio.

The new understanding of benzene, and hence of all aromatic compounds, proved to be so important for both pure and applied chemistry that in 1890 the German Chemical Society organized an elaborate appreciation in Kekulé's honor, celebrating the twenty-fifth anniversary of his first benzene paper.
Here Kekulé spoke of the creation of the theory.
He said that he had discovered the ring shape of the benzene molecule after having a reverie or day-dream of a snake biting Benzene own tail (this is a common symbol in many ancient cultures known as the Ouroboros or endless knot).

This vision, he said, came to him after years of studying the nature of carbon-carbon bonds.
This was seven years after he had solved the problem of how carbon atoms could bond to up to four other atoms at the same time.

Curiously, a similar, humorous depiction of benzene had appeared in 1886 in a pamphlet entitled Berichte der Durstigen Chemischen Gesellschaft (Journal of the Thirsty Chemical Society), a parody of the Berichte der Deutschen Chemischen Gesellschaft, only the parody had monkeys seizing each other in a circle, rather than snakes as in Kekulé's anecdote.
Some historians have suggested that the parody was a lampoon of the snake anecdote, possibly already well known through oral transmission even if Benzene had not yet appeared in print.

Kekulé's 1890 speech in which this anecdote appeared has been translated into English.
If the anecdote is the memory of a real event, circumstances mentioned in the story suggest that Benzene must have happened early in 1862.

In 1929, the cyclic nature of benzene was finally confirmed by the crystallographer Kathleen Lonsdale using X-ray diffraction methods.
Using large crystals of hexamethylbenzene, a benzene derivative with the same core of six carbon atoms, Lonsdale obtained diffraction patterns.
Through calculating more than thirty parameters, Lonsdale demonstrated that the benzene ring could not be anything but a flat hexagon, and provided accurate distances for all carbon-carbon bonds in the molecule.

Nomenclature:
The German chemist Wilhelm Körner suggested the prefixes ortho-, meta-, para- to distinguish di-substituted benzene derivatives in 1867.
However, he did not use the prefixes to distinguish the relative positions of the substituents on a benzene ring.

Benzene was the German chemist Carl Gräbe who, in 1869, first used the prefixes ortho-, meta-, para- to denote specific relative locations of the substituents on a di-substituted aromatic ring (viz, naphthalene).
In 1870, the German chemist Viktor Meyer first applied Gräbe's nomenclature to benzene.

Production of Benzene:
Four chemical processes contribute to industrial benzene production: catalytic reforming, toluene hydrodealkylation, toluene disproportionation, and steam cracking etc.
According to the ATSDR Toxicological Profile for benzene, between 1978 and 1981, catalytic reformates accounted for approximately 44–50% of the total U.S benzene production.

Catalytic reforming:
In catalytic reforming, a mixture of hydrocarbons with boiling points between 60 and 200 °C is blended with hydrogen gas and then exposed to a bifunctional platinum chloride or rhenium chloride catalyst at 500–525 °C and pressures ranging from 8–50 atm.
Under these conditions, aliphatic hydrocarbons form rings and lose hydrogen to become aromatic hydrocarbons.

The aromatic products of the reaction are then separated from the reaction mixture (or reformate) by extraction with any one of a number of solvents, including diethylene glycol or sulfolane, and benzene is then separated from the other aromatics by distillation.
The extraction step of aromatics from the reformate is designed to produce aromatics with lowest non-aromatic components.
Recovery of the aromatics, commonly referred to as BTX (benzene, toluene and xylene isomers), involves such extraction and distillation steps.

In similar fashion to this catalytic reforming, UOP and BP commercialized a method from LPG (mainly propane and butane) to aromatics.

Toluene hydrodealkylation:
Toluene hydrodealkylation converts toluene to benzene.
In this hydrogen-intensive process, toluene is mixed with hydrogen, then passed over a chromium, molybdenum, or platinum oxide catalyst at 500–650 °C and 20–60 atm pressure.
Sometimes, higher temperatures are used instead of a catalyst (at the similar reaction condition).

Under these conditions, toluene undergoes dealkylation to benzene and methane:
C6H5CH3+H2⟶C6H6+CH4

This irreversible reaction is accompanied by an equilibrium side reaction that produces biphenyl (aka diphenyl) at higher temperature:
2 C6H6 ⇌ H2 + C6H5–C6H5

If the raw material stream contains much non-aromatic components (paraffins or naphthenes), those are likely decomposed to lower hydrocarbons such as methane, which increases the consumption of hydrogen.

A typical reaction yield exceeds 95%. Sometimes, xylenes and heavier aromatics are used in place of toluene, with similar efficiency.
This is often called "on-purpose" methodology to produce benzene, compared to conventional BTX (benzene-toluene-xylene) extraction processes.

Toluene disproportionation:
Toluene disproportionation (TDP) is the conversion of toluene to benzene and xylene.

Given that demand for para-xylene (p-xylene) substantially exceeds demand for other xylene isomers, a refinement of the TDP process called Selective TDP (STDP) may be used.
In this process, the xylene stream exiting the TDP unit is approximately 90% p-xylene.
In some systems, even the benzene-to-xylenes ratio is modified to favor xylenes.

Steam cracking:
Steam cracking is the process for producing ethylene and other alkenes from aliphatic hydrocarbons.
Depending on the feedstock used to produce the olefins, steam cracking can produce a benzene-rich liquid by-product called pyrolysis gasoline.
Pyrolysis gasoline can be blended with other hydrocarbons as a gasoline additive, or routed through an extraction process to recover BTX aromatics (benzene, toluene and xylenes).

Other methods:
Although of no commercial significance, many other routes to benzene exist.
Phenol and halobenzenes can be reduced with metals.

Benzoic acid and Benzene salts undergo decarboxylation to benzene.
The reaction of the diazonium compound derived from aniline with hypophosphorus acid gives benzene.

Alkyne trimerisation of acetylene gives benzene.
Complete decarboxylation of mellitic acid gives benzene.

Health effects of Benzene:
Benzene is classified as a carcinogen, which increases the risk of cancer and other illnesses, and is also a notorious cause of bone marrow failure.
Substantial quantities of epidemiologic, clinical, and laboratory data link benzene to aplastic anemia, acute leukemia, bone marrow abnormalities and cardiovascular disease.

The specific hematologic malignancies that benzene is associated with include: acute myeloid leukemia (AML), aplastic anemia, myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML).

The American Petroleum Institute (API) stated in 1948 that "Benzene is generally considered that the only absolutely safe concentration for benzene is zero".
There is no safe exposure level; even tiny amounts can cause harm.

The US Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) classifies benzene as a human carcinogen.
Long-term exposure to excessive levels of benzene in the air causes leukemia, a potentially fatal cancer of the blood-forming organs.

In particular, acute myeloid leukemia or acute nonlymphocytic leukemia (AML & ANLL) is caused by benzene.
IARC rated benzene as "known to be carcinogenic to humans".

As benzene is ubiquitous in gasoline and hydrocarbon fuels that are in use everywhere, human exposure to benzene is a global health problem.
Benzene targets the liver, kidney, lung, heart and brain and can cause DNA strand breaks and chromosomal damage.

Benzene causes cancer in animals including humans.
Benzene has been shown to cause cancer in both sexes of multiple species of laboratory animals exposed via various routes.

Handling and Storage of Benzene:

Nonfire Spill Response:
ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames) from immediate area.
All equipment used when handling the product must be grounded.

Do not touch or walk through spilled material.
Stop leak if you can do Benzene without risk.

Prevent entry into waterways, sewers, basements or confined areas.
A vapor-suppressing foam may be used to reduce vapors.

Absorb or cover with dry earth, sand or other non-combustible material and transfer to containers.
Use clean, non-sparking tools to collect absorbed material.

LARGE SPILL:
Dike far ahead of liquid spill for later disposal.
Water spray may reduce vapor, but may not prevent ignition in closed spaces.

Storage Conditions of Benzene:
Keep in well closed containers in a cool place and away from fire.
Storage site should be as close as practicable to lab in which carcinogens are to be used, so that only small quantities required for expt need to be carried.

Carcinogens should be kept in only one section of cupboard, an explosion-proof refrigerator or freezer (depending on chemicophysical properties) that bears appropriate label.
An inventory should be kept, showing quantity of carcinogen & date Benzene was acquired.
Facilities for dispensing should be contiguous to storage area.

Conditions for safe storage, including any incompatibilities:
Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place.
Containers which are opened must be carefully resealed and kept upright to prevent leakage.

First Aid Measures of Benzene:

EYES:
First check the victim for contact lenses and remove if present.
Flush victim's eyes with water or normal saline solution for 20 to 30 minutes while simultaneously calling a hospital or poison control center.

Do not put any ointments, oils, or medication in the victim's eyes without specific instructions from a physician.
IMMEDIATELY transport the victim after flushing eyes to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop.

SKIN:
IMMEDIATELY flood affected skin with water while removing and isolating all contaminated clothing.
Gently wash all affected skin areas thoroughly with soap and water.

IMMEDIATELY call a hospital or poison control center even if no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop.
IMMEDIATELY transport the victim to a hospital for treatment after washing the affected areas.

INHALATION:
IMMEDIATELY leave the contaminated area.
Take deep breaths of fresh air.

IMMEDIATELY call a physician and be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, or burning in the mouth, throat, or chest) develop.
Provide proper respiratory protection to rescuers entering an unknown atmosphere.

Whenever possible, Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) should be used.
If not available, use a level of protection greater than or equal to that advised under Protective Clothing.

INGESTION:
DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING.
Volatile chemicals have a high risk of being aspirated into the victim's lungs during vomiting which increases the medical problems.

If the victim is conscious and not convulsing, give 1 or 2 glasses of water to dilute the chemical and IMMEDIATELY call a hospital or poison control center.
IMMEDIATELY transport the victim to a hospital.

If the victim is convulsing or unconscious, do not give anything by mouth, ensure that the victim's airway is open and lay the victim on his/her side with the head lower than the body.
DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING.
IMMEDIATELY transport the victim to a hospital.

OTHER:
Since this chemical is a known or suspected carcinogen you should contact a physician for advice regarding the possible long term health effects and potential recommendation for medical monitoring.
Recommendations from the physician will depend upon the specific compound, Benzene, physical and toxicity properties, the exposure level, length of exposure, and the route of exposure.

Fire Fighting of Benzene:

CAUTION:
The majority of these products have a very low flash point.
Use of water spray when fighting fire may be inefficient.

SMALL FIRE:
Dry chemical, CO2, water spray or regular foam.

LARGE FIRE:
Water spray, fog or regular foam. Avoid aiming straight or solid streams directly onto the product.
If Benzene can be done safely, move undamaged containers away from the area around the fire.

FIRE INVOLVING TANKS OR CAR/TRAILER LOADS:
Fight fire from maximum distance or use unmanned master stream devices or monitor nozzles.
Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out.

Withdraw immediately in case of rising sound from venting safety devices or discoloration of tank.
ALWAYS stay away from tanks engulfed in fire.

For massive fire, use unmanned master stream devices or monitor nozzles.
If this is impossible, withdraw from area and let fire burn.

Fire Fighting Procedures of Benzene:
Approach fire from upwind to avoid hazardous vapors.
Use water spray, dry chemical, foam, or carbon dioxide.
Use water spray to keep fire-exposed containers cool.

If material on fire or involved in fire:
Do not extinguish fire unless flow can be stopped.

Use water in flooding quantities as fog.
Solid streams of water may spread fire.

Cool all affected containers with flooding quantities of water.
Apply water from as far a distance as possible.
Use foam, dry chemical, or carbon dioxide.

Suitable extinguishing media:
Use water spray, alcohol-resistant foam, dry chemical or carbon dioxide.

Advice for firefighters:
Wear self contained breathing apparatus for fire fighting if necessary.
Use water spray to cool unopened containers.

Accidental Release Measures of Benzene:

IMMEDIATE PRECAUTIONARY MEASURE:
Isolate spill or leak area for at least 50 meters (150 feet) in all directions.

LARGE SPILL:
Consider initial downwind evacuation for at least 300 meters (1000 feet).

Absorb remaining liquid in sand or inert absorbent.
Then store and dispose of according to local regulations.

Cleanup Methods of Benzene:
For spills on water, contain with booms or barriers, use surface acting agents to thicken spilled materials.
Remove trapped materials with suction hoses.

Small spills of benzene can be taken up by sorption on carbon or synthetic sorbent resins.
Flush area with water.

For large quantities, if response is rapid, benzene can be skimmed off the surface.
Straw may be used to mop slicks.

A high-efficiency particulate arrestor (HEPA) or charcoal filters can be used to minimize amt of carcinogen in exhausted air ventilated safety cabinets, lab hoods, glove boxes or animal rooms.
Filter housing that is designed so that used filters can be transferred into plastic bag without contaminating maintenance staff is avail commercially.

Filters should be placed in plastic bags immediately after removal.
The plastic bag should be sealed immediately.

The sealed bag should be labelled properly.
Waste liquids should be placed or collected in proper containers for disposal.

The lid should be secured & the bottles properly labelled.
Once filled, bottles should be placed in plastic bag, so that outer surface is not contaminated.

The plastic bag should also be sealed & labelled.
Broken glassware should be decontaminated by solvent extraction, by chemical destruction, or in specially designed incinerators.

BENZENE-1,4-DIOL
Benzene-1,4-diol = Hydroquinone = 1,4-Benzenediol = HQ = 1,4-Dihydroxybenzene

CAS Number: 123-31-9
EC Number: 204-617-8
Chemical formula: C6H6O2
Molar mass: 110.112 g·mol−1

Benzene-1,4-diol, also known as Hydroquinone or quinol, is an aromatic organic compound that is a type of phenol, a derivative of benzene, having the chemical formula C6H4(OH)2.
Benzene-1,4-diol has two hydroxyl groups bonded to a benzene ring in a para position.
Benzene-1,4-diol is a white granular solid.
Substituted derivatives of this parent compound are also referred to as Benzene-1,4-diols.
The name "Benzene-1,4-diol" was coined by Friedrich Wöhler in 1843

Benzene-1,4-diol is applied to the the skin to lighten areas that have darkened.
Benzene-1,4-diol also contain sunscreens.
Benzene-1,4-diol is an organic chemical that is normally produced industrially and has a very similar structure to the precursors of Melanin.
The most common use of Benzene-1,4-diol is in skin lightening products, although it can also be used in a technique for developing black and white photos.
Benzene-1,4-diol is the most commonly prescribed depigmenting agent worldwide.

Benzene-1,4-diol is a topical skin-bleaching agent used in the cosmetic treatment of hyperpigmented skin conditions.
The effect of skin lightening caused by hydroquinone is reversible when exposed to sunlight and therefore requires regular use until desired results are achieved.
Various preparations of Benzene-1,4-diol is available including creams, emulsions, gels, lotions and solutions.
Benzene-1,4-diol is available over the counter in a 2% cream and can be prescribed by your dermatologist in higher concentrations.

Mechanism of Benzene-1,4-diol:
Benzene-1,4-diol produces reversible lightening of the skin by interfering with melanin production by the melanocytes.
Specifically, inhibition of the enzymatic conversion of tyrosine to DOPA (dihydroxyphenylalanine) results in the desired chemical reduction of pigment.
Ultimately, this causes a decrease in the number of melanocytes and decreased transfer of melanin leading to lighter skin.

Uses of Benzene-1,4-diol:
Popularized by Benzene-1,4-diols usage as a photo-developer, hydroquinone can be used in any condition causing hyperpigmentation.
Common conditions of Benzene-1,4-diol include melasma, freckles, lentigines, age spots and acne scars.
Skin sensitivity to Benzene-1,4-diol may be determined before treatment by applying a small amount of cream to the hyperpigmented area and noting any redness or itching.
If no reaction occurs, initiate treatment.
As a general rule, always ensure the area is clean and dry then apply a thin film to the lesion and rub it into the skin well.
Hands should be washed after the application to avoid unwanted lightening of the fingers.

To maintain the desired affect, Benzene-1,4-diol should be used concurrently with a strong sunscreen.
Many preparations of Benzene-1,4-diol is available as a combination product.
Lightening of the skin should be noticed within 4 weeks of initiation, if no change is seen in 3 months, contact your dermatologist for further recommendations.

Benzene-1,4-diol is a chemical that a person can use to lighten their skin tone.
Benzene-1,4-diol is available as a cream, gel, lotion, or emulsion.
Benzene-1,4-diol is generally safe to use, but some people may experience side effects, such as dry skin.

Benzene-1,4-diol is a chemical that bleaches the skin.
Benzene-1,4-diol can come as a cream, emulsion, gel, or lotion.
A person can apply Benzene-1,4-diol directly to the skin.
Creams that contain 2% Benzene-1,4-diol are available to buy over the counter in most drugstores.
Stronger creams are available with a prescription from a doctor.
People may use Benzene-1,4-diol as a form of treatment for hyperpigmentation skin conditions, wherein some areas of skin grow darker than surrounding areas.

Some conditions that people may use Benzene-1,4-diol for include:
-Benzene-1,4-diol and Melasma
-People with melasma have brown or gray-brown patches on their skin.
-These patches tend to develop on the face, such as the cheeks or nose.
-They can also appear on areas of skin with high sun exposure, such as the forearms and neck.

Benzene-1,4-diol and Freckles:
Freckles are darker spots or patches that usually occur in fair skin.
Benzene-1,4-diol can become more noticeable with exposure to sunlight.

Benzene-1,4-diol and Lentigines:
Lentigines, or age spots, develop on areas of skin with the highest sun exposure.
For example, Benzene-1,4-diol can appear on the face or the backs of the hands.
They tend to be flat, dark, and between 0.2 centimeters (cm) and 2 cm in width.

Benzene-1,4-diol and acne scars:
Excess oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria can build up in skin pores and cause acne.
The body tries to repair the damage, but sometimes, it leaves scars.

Other uses of Benzene-1,4-diol:
Some people may want to lighten their skin for cosmetic reasons.
Benzene-1,4-diol can have benefits for confidence and self-esteem.
Benzene-1,4-diol is important to note that the above conditions are all harmless.

How does Benzene-1,4-diol work?
Melanin is a pigment that gives the skin and hair their color.
Benzene-1,4-diol is responsible for freckles and other dark patches on the skin.
Melanin is made by melanocytes, which are cells present in the skin and other parts of the body.
When a person applies Benzene-1,4-diol to the skin, it reduces the number of melanocytes.
Fewer melanocytes means that the body produces less melanin in the treated area.
The skin usually appears lighter within about 4 weeks.
Exposure to sunlight reverses the effects of hydroquinone.
Doctors recommend that people who use this product also use a strong sunscreen.

Benzene-1,4-diol is known to inhibit melanogenesis both in vitro and in vivo.
In this study, 2% and 5% Benzene-1,4-diol creams were topically applied to the hyperpigmented skin of 56 patients.
Benzene-1,4-diol was a moderately effective depigmenting agent in 80% of cases.
The 2% cream appeared to be as effective therapeutically as the 5% cream and to evoke untoward side effects (primary irritation) much less often.
Therapy with topically applied Benzene-1,4-diol did not lead to complete disappearance of pathological hypermelanosis, but results were satisfactory enough to help most patients become less self-conscious about their pigmentary abnormalities.

Benzene-1,4-diol production:
Benzene-1,4-diol is produced industrially by two main routes.
The most widely use of Benzene-1,4-diol route is similar to the cumene process in reaction mechanism and involves the dialkylation of benzene with propene to give 1,4-diisopropylbenzene.
This compound reacts with air to afford the bis(hydroperoxide), which is structurally similar to cumene hydroperoxide and rearranges in acid to give acetone and hydroquinone.
A second route involves hydroxylation of phenol over a catalyst.

Benzene-1,4-diol topical (for the skin) is used to lighten areas of darkened skin such as freckles, age spots, melasma (sun damage), or chloasma (darkened skin caused by hormonal changes).
Benzene-1,4-diol topical may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

The conversion uses hydrogen peroxide and affords a mixture of hydroquinone and catechol (benzene-1,2-diol):
C6H5OH + H2O2 → C6H4(OH)2 + H2O

Other, less common methods include:
A potentially significant synthesis of hydroquinone from acetylene and iron pentacarbonyl has been proposed.
Iron pentacarbonyl serves as a catalyst, rather than as a reagent, in the presence of free carbon monoxide gas.
Rhodium or ruthenium can substitute for iron as the catalyst with favorable chemical yields but are not typically used due to their cost of recovery from the reaction mixture.
Benzene-1,4-diol and its derivatives can also be prepared by oxidation of various phenols.

Examples include Elbs persulfate oxidation and Dakin oxidation:
Benzene-1,4-diol was first obtained in 1820 by the French chemists Pelletier and Caventou via the dry distillation of quinic acid.

Benzene-1,4-diol Reactions:
The reactivity of Benzene-1,4-diol's hydroxyl groups resembles that of other phenols, being weakly acidic.
The resulting conjugate base undergoes easy O-alkylation to give mono- and diethers.
Similarly, Benzene-1,4-diol is highly susceptible to ring substitution by Friedel–Crafts reactions such as alkylation.
This reaction is exploited en route to popular antioxidants such as 2-tert-butyl-4-methoxyphenol (BHA).
The useful dye quinizarin is produced by diacylation of Benzene-1,4-diol with phthalic anhydride.

Redox:
Benzene-1,4-diol undergoes oxidation under mild conditions to give benzoquinone.
This process of Benzene-1,4-diol can be reversed.
Some naturally occurring Benzene-1,4-diol derivatives exhibit this sort of reactivity, one example being coenzyme Q.
Industrially this reaction is exploited both with Benzene-1,4-diol itself but more often with its derivatives where one OH has been replaced by an amine.
When colorless Benzene-1,4-diol and benzoquinone, a bright yellow solid, are cocrystallized in a 1:1 ratio, a dark-green crystalline charge-transfer complex (melting point 171 °C) called quinhydrone (C6H6O2·C6H4O2) is formed.
Benzene-1,4-diol dissolves in hot water, where the two molecules dissociate in solution.

Amination:
An important reaction is the conversion of Benzene-1,4-diol to the mono- and diamine derivatives.
Methylaminophenol, used in photography, is produced in this way:
C6H4(OH)2 + CH3NH2 → HOC6H4NHCH3 + H2O
Similarly diamines, useful in the rubber industry as antiozone agents, are produced similarly from aniline:
C6H4(OH)2 + 2 C6H5NH2 → C6H4(N(H)C6H5)2 + 2 H2O

Benzene-1,4-diol uses:
Benzene-1,4-diol has a variety of uses principally associated with its action as a reducing agent that is soluble in water.
Benzene-1,4-diol is a major component in most black and white photographic developers for film and paper where, with the compound metol, it reduces silver halides to elemental silver.
There are various other uses associated with its reducing power.
As a polymerisation inhibitor, exploiting its antioxidant properties, Benzene-1,4-diol prevents polymerization of acrylic acid, methyl methacrylate, cyanoacrylate, and other monomers that are susceptible to radical-initiated polymerization.
By acting as a free radical scavenger, Benzene-1,4-diol serves to prolong the shelflife of light-sensitive resins such as preceramic polymers.
Benzene-1,4-diol can lose a hydrogen cation from both hydroxyl groups to form a diphenolate ion.
The disodium diphenolate salt of Benzene-1,4-diol is used as an alternating comonomer unit in the production of the polymer PEEK.

Skin depigmentation:
Benzene-1,4-diol is used as a topical application in skin whitening to reduce the color of skin.
Benzene-1,4-diol does not have the same predisposition to cause dermatitis as metol does.

While using Benzene-1,4-diol as a lightening agent can be effective with proper use, it can also cause skin sensitivity.
Using Benzene-1,4-diol a daily sunscreen with a high PPD (persistent pigment darkening) rating reduces the risk of further damage.
Benzene-1,4-diol is sometimes combined with alpha-hydroxy acids that exfoliate the skin to quicken the lightening process.
In the United States, topical treatments usually contain up to 2% in Benzene-1,4-diol.
Otherwise, higher concentrations (up to 4%) should be prescribed and used with caution.
While Benzene-1,4-diol remains widely prescribed for treatment of hyperpigmentation, questions raised about its safety profile by regulatory agencies in the EU, Japan, and USA encourage the search for other agents with comparable efficacy.
Several such agents are already available or under research, including azelaic acid, kojic acid, retinoids, cysteamine, topical steroids, glycolic acid, and other substances.
One of these, 4-butylresorcinol, has been proven to be more effective at treating melanin-related skin disorders by a wide margin, as well as safe enough to be made available over the counter.

What Is Benzene-1,4-diol?
Benzene-1,4-diol is the common name for the ingredient 1,4-dihydroxybenzene, and may be used safely in a variety of cosmetics.

Why is Benzene-1,4-diol used in cosmetics and personal care products?
Benzene-1,4-diol is used in cosmetics as an antioxidant, fragrance ingredient and oxidizing agent in hair dyes.
Benzene-1,4-diol may also be used as a stabilizer that inhibits the polymerization of the adhesive in artificial nails.

Natural occurrences:
Benzene-1,4-diols are one of the two primary reagents in the defensive glands of bombardier beetles, along with hydrogen peroxide (and perhaps other compounds, depending on the species), which collect in a reservoir.
The reservoir opens through a muscle-controlled valve onto a thick-walled reaction chamber.
This chamber is lined with cells that secrete catalases and peroxidases.
When the contents of the reservoir are forced into the reaction chamber, the catalases and peroxidases rapidly break down the hydrogen peroxide and catalyze the oxidation of the hydroquinones into p-quinones.
These reactions release free oxygen and generate enough heat to bring the mixture to the boiling point and vaporize about a fifth of it, producing a hot spray from the beetle's abdomen.
Farnesyl Benzene-1,4-diol derivatives are the principal irritants exuded by the poodle-dog bush, which can cause severe contact dermatitis in humans.
Benzene-1,4-diol is thought to be the active toxin in Agaricus hondensis mushrooms.
Benzene-1,4-diol has been shown to be one of the chemical constituents of the natural product propolis.
Benzene-1,4-diol is also one of the chemical compounds found in castoreum.
This compound is gathered from the beaver's castor sacs.
In bearberry (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi), arbutin is converted to Benzene-1,4-diol.

What is Benzene-1,4-diol?
Benzene-1,4-diol is an organic compound that can be found naturally in different fungi, plants and animals but was first synthetically produced in the 1800s for the purposes of developing black and white photography.
Later on, in the beginning of the 20th century, the effects of Benzene-1,4-diol on the skin as a melanin inhibitor, and antioxidant were discovered and the ingredient was put to use in topical skincare.
For the last 50+ years, Benzene-1,4-diol has been the gold standard for dark spot correcting and recommended by a number of board-certified dermatologists including SLMD founder, Dr. Sandra Lee, for reducing the appearance of pigmentation resulting from acne, melasma, and sun exposure.
Misinformation and confusion has caused Benzene-1,4-diol to become a controversial ingredient, but we’re here to set the record straight and share the right info with you!

IS Benzene-1,4-diol DANGEROUS?
The first misconception that Benzene-1,4-diol is dangerous stemmed from a controversy in South Africa, in 1980, after they identified products containing Hydroquinone to be hazardous.
As a result, South Africa placed a ban on the ingredient, and Japan, EU and Australia followed suit.
However, further research uncovered that these products they identified as hazardous also contained mercury and other illegal contaminants.
Therefore, there was no substantial evidence that the reason for this toxicity was due to the Benzene-1,4-diol, and plenty more research upholds Hydroquinone to be safe and effective when used topically!
A skin disorder known as exogenous ochronosis, which causes skin to darken with blue-black pigmentation, has been linked to the use of prescription strength Hydroquinone chronically (long-term) and at very high percentages.
Benzene-1,4-diol is important to note that this occurrence is very rare — there have been less than 40 cases recorded in the US.
For this reason, when using prescription strength HQs, dermatologists will recommend that after a couple months of use you take a break from the product before continuing your treatment.
Similarly, there has been no evidence or study that indicates that use of a topical Benzene-1,4-diol causes cancer in humans.
It is true that Benzene-1,4-diol should not be ingested orally in high doses, but as it's manufactured in its powdered form for topical skincare, it's a very stable, safe ingredient!

HOW DOES Benzene-1,4-diol WORK?
Benzene-1,4-diol works to reduce the appearance of dark spots over time by decreasing the production of melanin (the protein that gives your skin pigment) and increasing the breakdown of melanocytes (the cells that create melanin).
This works because Benzene-1,4-diol prevents the activity of tyrosinase, the enzyme needed to make melanin.
Melanin is a natural function of our skin — it’s how we get the pigment in our skin, eyes, and hair, but it becomes problematic when Melanocytes (which sit in the Dermis layer of our skin) are stimulated to release extra melanin that form dark spots on the top layer of our skin.
This process can be triggered by UV exposure and trauma (from picking at your skin).
Benzene-1,4-diol also has some antioxidant properties that help protect the skin from UV damage and brighten complexion.
Because Benzene-1,4-diol functions on the cell-level, it requires consistent use to see results — it is not bleaching your skin over time, just making the melanin production of your skin more even.

Benzene-1,4-diol’s safety has been assessed by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel on four separate occasions since 1986.
CIR concluded that Benzene-1,4-diol is safe at concentrations of ≤ 1% in cosmetic formulations designed for discontinuous, brief use followed by rinsing from the skin and hair.
In addition, Benzene-1,4-diol is safe for use as a polymerization inhibitor in nail adhesives and in artificial nail coatings that are cured by LED light.
However, Benzene-1,4-diol is not safe for use in other leave-on cosmetic products.

What is Benzene-1,4-diol?
Benzene-1,4-diol is a skin-lightening agent.
Benzene-1,4-diol bleaches the skin, which can be helpful when treating different forms of hyperpigmentation.
Historically, there’s been some back-and-forth on the safety of Benzene-1,4-diol.
In 1982, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration recognized the ingredient as safe and effectiveTrusted Source.
Several years later, concerns about safety prompted retailers to pull Benzene-1,4-diol from the market.
The FDA went on to discover that many of the products in question contained contaminants like mercury.
They established that these contaminants were behind reports of adverse effects.
Since then, the FDA has confirmed that Benzene-1,4-diol can be safely sold over the counter (OTC) in 2 percent concentrations.
Read on to learn more about how it works, who might benefit from use, products to try, and more.

How does Benzene-1,4-diol work?
Benzene-1,4-diol bleaches your skin by decreasing the number of melanocytes present.
Melanocytes make melanin, which is what produces your skin tone.
In cases of hyperpigmentation, more melanin is present due to an increase in melanocyte production.
By controlling these melanocytes, your skin will become more evenly toned over time.
Benzene-1,4-diol takes about four weeks on average for the ingredient to take effect.
Benzene-1,4-diol may take several months of consistent use before you see full results.
If you don’t see any improvements within three months of OTC use, talk to your dermatologist.
They may be able to recommend a prescription-strength formula better suited to your needs.

What is Benzene-1,4-diol topical?
Benzene-1,4-diol decreases the formation of melanin in the skin.
Melanin is the pigment in skin that gives it a brown color.
Benzene-1,4-diol topical is used to lighten areas of darkened skin such as freckles, age spots, Chloasma, and Melasma.
Benzene-1,4-diol works by inhibiting an enzyme reaction in skin cells.

How should I use Benzene-1,4-diol topical?
Do not use Benzene-1,4-diol topical on skin that is sunburned, dry, chapped, or irritated, or on an open wound.
Benzene-1,4-diol could make these conditions worse.
Discontinue use if excessive irritation develops.
Apply the medication to clean, dry skin.
Dispense a pea size amount on the back of your hand, apply to cheeks, forehead and then to chin.
Blend in the product to cover face.
Avoid the corners of the mouth and nose; these areas can be irritated easily.
Apply to the affected area(s) morning and night.
For Melasma, once the discoloration has resolved or adequately faded, you may either discontinue use or continue weekly maintenance.
Benzene-1,4-diol may take 3 months or more to see improvements.
For Lentigines, use the creams for a maximum of 3 months.

What skin conditions can benefit from Benzene-1,4-diol?
Benzene-1,4-diol is used to treat skin conditions related to hyperpigmentation.

Benzene-1,4-diol includes:
-acne scars
-age spots
-freckles
-melasma
-post-inflammatory marks from psoriasis and eczema

Although hydroquinone can help fade red or brown spots that have lingered, Benzene-1,4-diol won’t help with active inflammation.
For example, Benzene-1,4-diol can help minimize acne scarring, but Benzene-1,4-diol won’t have an effect on redness from active breakouts.

What do I need to tell my doctor BEFORE I take Benzene-1,4-diol?
If you have an allergy to Benzene-1,4-diol or any other part of Benzene-1,4-diol.
If you are allergic to Benzene-1,4-diol; any part of hydroquinone; or any other drugs, foods, or substances.
Tell your doctor about the allergy and what signs you had.
Benzene-1,4-diol may interact with other drugs or health problems.

What is Benzene-1,4-diol?
Benzene-1,4-diol is a topical cream that is used to lighten dark patches of the skin (also called hyperpigmentation).
Benzene-1,4-diol is available as a prescription alone and as a combination cream containing a topical steroid and a topical retinoid.
In some countries, including the United States, Benzene-1,4-diol is available over the counter, most often in a 2-3% formulation.

What is Benzene-1,4-diol used for?
Benzene-1,4-diol is used to lighten dark patches of the skin.
These dark spots can be related or triggered by many factors including pregnancy, birth control pills, inflammation, and injury to the skin.
The most common use is for melasma, a condition in which people develop dark patches on the face and other areas of skin, such as the arms.

How is Benzene-1,4-diol used?
Safe use of Benzene-1,4-diol includes using it under the supervision of a dermatologist.
Benzene-1,4-diol should be applied only to the affected darkened areas of skin to avoid lightening of normal skin.
Benzene-1,4-diol should not be used for extended periods of time as it can cause a paradoxical darkening.
Cycling of use with breaks is recommended to limit overuse and the side effect known as exogenous ochronosis.

What else do I need to know about Benzene-1,4-diol?
Benzene-1,4-diol is an out of pocket expense as insurance will not cover this medication.
If using Benzene-1,4-diol to treat melasma, Benzene-1,4-diol should be used in combination with a broad-spectrum sunscreen SPF 30 or higher daily.
Sunscreen should be applied to the affected areas after Benzene-1,4-diol to avoid relapse of the condition.
Dark areas may recur if the cream is discontinued but this is less likely happen if sun protective measures are followed.

Tell your doctor and pharmacist about all of your drugs (prescription or OTC, natural products, vitamins) and health problems.
You must check to make sure that it is safe for you to take hydroquinone with all of your drugs and health problems.

Benzene-1,4-diol cream is the standard depigmentation or skin lightening agent.
Clinically Benzene-1,4-diol is used to treat areas of dyschromia, such as in melasma, chloasma, solar lentigines, freckles, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
This activity outlines the indications, mechanism of action, methods of administration, important adverse effects, contraindications, and monitoring of Benzene-1,4-diol, so providers can direct patient therapy to optimal outcomes in conditions where it is indicated.

What is Benzene-1,4-diol?
Benzene-1,4-diol also known as tocopheryl acetate, hydroquinone is found in skin-lightening creams, serums, cleansers, and moisturizers.
"Benzene-1,4-diol is a topical skin treatment for melasma, freckles, age and sun spots, and even acne scars," Shafer says.
"Benzene-1,4-diol is used in combination with other acne products such as Retin-A, hydroquinone can help dramatically improve skin complexion.
"Shamban adds to this, reporting that Benzene-1,4-diol can also be used to lighten up freckles as well as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which is usually seen after an injury such as a burn or inflammatory acne.

While Benzene-1,4-diol is effective at lightening spots, the results aren't immediate.
Benzene-1,4-diol may take a matter of weeks (or months) before results are discernible to the naked eye.
"Patients need to understand that the treatment is working at the cellular level to reduce the production of pigment," Shafer explains.
"So the effects take several weeks to realize.
As the old skin sheds and new skin is produced, the amount of pigment will be less, leading to a more even skin tone."

Benefits of Benzene-1,4-diol for Skin
Benzene-1,4-diol has several benefits for the skin.
Lightens dark spots (hyperpigmentation): Benzene-1,4-diol is one of the most effective ingredients to lighten hyperpigmentation.
"If you have dark areas from melasma, age spots, or brown spots left from acne, Benzene-1,4-diol helps by decreasing the formation of melanin in the skin (the pigment in the skin that gives it a dark color)," says Buttiglione.
Ng adds: "To date, Benzene-1,4-diol is considered the topical gold standard in dermatology for reducing hyperpigmentation."
Evens out skin tone: Because Benzene-1,4-diol lightens certain areas of the skin that are darkened, the end result is a more balanced, even complexion.

Treats melasma: "Benzene-1,4-diol serves as the backbone of any treatment for a wide variety of conditions, including melasma," notes Shamban.
"Melasma, which is manifested by patches of darker skin typically on the forehead, cheeks, and upper lip, often runs in families and is triggered by UV and visible light exposure often in combination with hormonal shifts such as birth control pills, pregnancy or hormone replacement therapy."
Benzene-1,4-diol can help rectify the side effects of melasma.

benzoyl peroxide
This list may not describe all possible interactions.
Give your health care provider a list of all the medicines, herbs, non-prescription drugs, or dietary supplements you use.
Also tell them if you smoke, drink alcohol, or use illegal drugs.
Some items may interact with Benzene-1,4-diol.

Benzene-1,4-diol, the major benzene metabolite, is a ubiquitous chemical in the environment due to its widespread application in human and industrial activities.
Benzene-1,4-diol can be used as a developing agent in photography, dye intermediate, stabilizer in paints, varnishes oils, and motor fuels.
In addition, Benzene-1,4-diol has been used as an antioxidant in the rubber and food industry.
From 1950s to 2001 Benzene-1,4-diol was applied in the commercially available cosmetic skin lightening formulations in European Union countries and since 1960s it was commercially available as a medical product.
Benzene-1,4-diol is also present in cosmetic formulations of products for coating finger nails and hair dyes.
On the other hand, Benzene-1,4-diol can be a component of high molecular aromatic compounds (e.g., resin), an intermediate, or appear as a degradation product generated by transformation of aromatic compounds.
Advanced oxidation processes (APOs) of aromatic compounds, particularly of phenol, yield several benzene derivatives, such as hydroquinone, catechol, and resorcinol, as intermediate metabolites of its transformation.
The formation of Benzene-1,4-diol and -benzoquinone at early stages of phenol oxidation increases the toxicity of phenol wastewaters, showing that these compounds were more toxic and less degradable than the original pollutant.
Meanwhile, in the oxidative degradation of Benzene-1,4-diol under a supercritical condition (409.9°C and 24.5 MPa) and subcritical condition (359.9°C and 24.5 MPa), -benzoquinone was to be an important intermediate.
Despite the toxic properties, a number of microorganisms can utilize Benzene-1,4-diol, especially under aerobic conditions, which has led to the development of low-cost treatment of polluted effluents.
The chemical method applied conventionally to the treatment of industrial wastewater used FeSO4 and H2O2; however, the application of this technology generates ferric sulfate, which enables recycled reactants.
Therefore, biological transformations are generally preferred for being considered as more economical and environmentally friendly.

What should I watch for while using Benzene-1,4-diol?
Contact your doctor or health care professional if your condition does not improve in the first two months or if you experience too much skin irritation.
Benzene-1,4-diol will work best if you avoid excessive exposure to sunlight and wear sunscreens and protective clothing.
Some Benzene-1,4-diol products contain sunscreens.
Use a sunscreen (SPF 15 or higher).
Do not use sun lamps or sun tanning beds or booths.
Do not apply Benzene-1,4-diol to sunburned areas or if you have a skin wound in the area of application.
Most cosmetics, sunscreens, and moisturizing lotions may be worn over Benzene-1,4-diol.
Wait several minutes after application of v before applying them.

What side effects may I notice from receiving Benzene-1,4-diol?
Side effects that you should report to your doctor or health care professional as soon as possible:
-severe burning, itching, crusting, or swelling of the treated areas
-unusual skin discoloration

Side effects that usually do not require medical attention (report to your doctor or health care professional if they continue or are bothersome):
-mild itching or stinging
-reddening of the skin
This list may not describe all possible side effects.

Benzene-1,4-diol is one of the most effective skin brightening agents in skincare.
However, Benzene-1,4-diol’s scientifically proven to have negative side effects.
Are the Benzene-1,4-diol dangers worth risking your health?
Snow White set the bar high when Benzene-1,4-diol comes to fair skin.
Many women want overall brighter complexions, and they’re enlisting the help of cosmetics marketed towards brightening dull skin and lightening dark spots.
Skin brightening is so popular and in demand that Benzene-1,4-diol’s become its own industry with Asian countries accounting for more than half of sales.

What is Benzene-1,4-diol?
Benzene-1,4-diol is a skin lightening agent frequently used in skin brightening spot treatments and face creams.
Benzene-1,4-diol’s been long established as the most effective ingredient for lightening skin, fading uneven skin tone, and improving dark spots.
How does Benzene-1,4-diol work? Benzene-1,4-diol bleaches the skin and, therefore, alters the skin tone.
Your skin tone is determined by the amount of melanocytes present in the skin.
Melanocytes are skin cells that create melanin, a dark brown or black pigment.
Melanin is also responsible for making skin appear tanned or darker when exposed to sunlight.
Melanin is beautiful, but Hydroquinone disagrees.
If bleaching your skin doesn’t sound safe to you, you’re right.
Hydroquinone’s not safe or healthy.
Yes, Benzene-1,4-diol works for its desired purposes, but Benzene-1,4-diol’s not good for your skin or body.
Despite its popularity and effectiveness, Benzene-1,4-diol use is controversial for health and safety reasons.

The skin lightener is as controversial as Benzene-1,4-diol is effective.
When incorporated into your complexion regimen properly, Benzene-1,4-diol decreases the production of melanin by inhibiting tyrosinase, an enzyme needed for melanin production, to decrease the appearance of hyperpigmentation.
Because of this, many people consider Benzene-1,4-diol to be a skin-bleaching ingredient.
According to Miami-based board-certified dermatologist Roberta Del Campo, it should be considered a "color blender" instead.

Benzene-1,4-diol is a skin lightening agent available as either a pharmaceutical or a cosmeceutical.
Benzene-1,4-diols mechanism of action depends on its ability to inhibit tyrosinase synthesis, thereby inhibiting the production of melanin.
Other functions of Benzene-1,4-diol include its ability to inhibit DNA and RNA synthesis, and to degrade melanosomes.
Products sold at 2% concentration are available in more than 100 over-the-counter products, whereas those with a 3–10% concentration are prescription products and regulated as drugs.
New products on the market today use Benzene-1,4-diol in combination with topical retinoids and topical steroids for treatment of melasma and photopigmentation.
Benzene-1,4-diol has received scrutiny recently owing to Hydroquinones risk of ochronosis, a severe but rare side-effect.
Endogenous ochronosis is a manifestation of a rare metabolic disorder known as alkaptonuria, which results from a deficiency of homogentisic acid oxidase.
Exogenous ochronosis is a rare cutaneous side-effect of the long-term use of topical depigmenting agents such as hydroquinone.
Ochronosis is characterized by an asymptomatic blue–black pigmentation of skin and cartilage.
Although the exact cause of ochronosis from topical hydroquinone is not known, studies suggest that hydroquinone may inhibit homogentisic acid oxidase in the dermis, with the accumulation of homogentisic acid in the dermis causing ochronotic pigment deposition.
Other agents reported in the literature to cause exogenous ochronosis are antimalarials, resorcinol, phenol, mercury, and picric acid.

Benzene-1,4-diol is used as an inhibitor of polymerization.
Due to Benzene-1,4-diols outstanding photo developing properties, Hydroquinone is also used as a photo developer, and as a raw material in manufacturing dye intermediates.

Benzene-1,4-diol is used to lighten the dark patches of skin (also called hyperpigmentation, melasma, "liver spots," "age spots," freckles) caused by pregnancy, birth control pills, hormone medicine, or injury to the skin.
Benzene-1,4-diol works by blocking the process in the skin that leads to discoloration.

What is Benzene-1,4-diol?
Benzene-1,4-diol is an organic compound that’s used to treat a variety of discoloration-related skin conditions.
Benzene-1,4-diol’s a skin lightening agent that works by reducing your production of melanin. When used topically, hydroquinone can cause your skin to lighten in color.
Benzene-1,4-diol is widely used as a scar treatment.
Applied topically, Benzene-1,4-diol can cause darkened scars to lose some or all of their extra pigmentation, causing them to blend in and match the color of the surrounding skin.
Benzene-1,4-diol’s also used as a treatment for skin hyperpigmentation caused by UV exposure (spending too much time in the sun) and inflammation.
Topical Benzene-1,4-diol creams are available as prescription medication to treat melasma and other pigmentation-related skin conditions.
You can also buy limited strength Benzene-1,4-diol as an over-the-counter medicine in most pharmacies.

What is Benzene-1,4-diol used for?
Benzene-1,4-diol is a skin-bleaching agent that is used to lighten areas of darkened skin.

-These patches tend to develop on the face, such as the cheeks or nose.
-They can also appear on areas of skin with high sun exposure, such as the forearms and neck.

Benzene-1,4-diol and Freckles:
Freckles are darker spots or patches that usually occur in fair skin.
Benzene-1,4-diol can become more noticeable with exposure to sunlight.

Benzene-1,4-diol and Lentigines:
Lentigines, or age spots, develop on areas of skin with the highest sun exposure.
For example, Benzene-1,4-diol can appear on the face or the backs of the hands.
They tend to be flat, dark, and between 0.2 centimeters (cm) and 2 cm in width.

Benzene-1,4-diol and acne scars:
Excess oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria can build up in skin pores and cause acne.
The body tries to repair the damage, but sometimes, it leaves scars.

Other uses of Benzene-1,4-diol:
Some people may want to lighten their skin for cosmetic reasons.
Benzene-1,4-diol can have benefits for confidence and self-esteem.
Benzene-1,4-diol is important to note that the above conditions are all harmless.

How does Benzene-1,4-diol work?
Melanin is a pigment that gives the skin and hair their color.
Benzene-1,4-diol is responsible for freckles and other dark patches on the skin.
Melanin is made by melanocytes, which are cells present in the skin and other parts of the body.
When a person applies Benzene-1,4-diol to the skin, it reduces the number of melanocytes.
Fewer melanocytes means that the body produces less melanin in the treated area.
The skin usually appears lighter within about 4 weeks.
Exposure to sunlight reverses the effects of hydroquinone.
Doctors recommend that people who use this product also use a strong sunscreen.

Benzene-1,4-diol, also known as Hydroquinone or quinol, is an aromatic organic compound that is a type of phenol, a derivative of benzene, having the chemical formula C6H4(OH)2.
Benzene-1,4-diol has two hydroxyl groups bonded to a benzene ring in a para position.
Benzene-1,4-diol is a white granular solid.
Substituted derivatives of this parent compound are also referred to as Benzene-1,4-diols.
The name "Benzene-1,4-diol" was coined by Friedrich Wöhler in 1843

Benzene-1,4-diol is applied to the the skin to lighten areas that have darkened.
Benzene-1,4-diol also contain sunscreens.
Benzene-1,4-diol is an organic chemical that is normally produced industrially and has a very similar structure to the precursors of Melanin.
The most common use of Benzene-1,4-diol is in skin lightening products, although it can also be used in a technique for developing black and white photos.
Benzene-1,4-diol is the most commonly prescribed depigmenting agent worldwide.

Benzene-1,4-diol is a topical skin-bleaching agent used in the cosmetic treatment of hyperpigmented skin conditions.
The effect of skin lightening caused by hydroquinone is reversible when exposed to sunlight and therefore requires regular use until desired results are achieved.
Various preparations of Benzene-1,4-diol is available including creams, emulsions, gels, lotions and solutions.
Benzene-1,4-diol is available over the counter in a 2% cream and can be prescribed by your dermatologist in higher concentrations.

Mechanism of Benzene-1,4-diol:
Benzene-1,4-diol produces reversible lightening of the skin by interfering with melanin production by the melanocytes.
Specifically, inhibition of the enzymatic conversion of tyrosine to DOPA (dihydroxyphenylalanine) results in the desired chemical reduction of pigment.
Ultimately, this causes a decrease in the number of melanocytes and decreased transfer of melanin leading to lighter skin.

Uses of Benzene-1,4-diol:
Popularized by Benzene-1,4-diols usage as a photo-developer, hydroquinone can be used in any condition causing hyperpigmentation.
Common conditions of Benzene-1,4-diol include melasma, freckles, lentigines, age spots and acne scars.
Skin sensitivity to Benzene-1,4-diol may be determined before treatment by applying a small amount of cream to the hyperpigmented area and noting any redness or itching.
If no reaction occurs, initiate treatment.
As a general rule, always ensure the area is clean and dry then apply a thin film to the lesion and rub it into the skin well.
Hands should be washed after the application to avoid unwanted lightening of the fingers.

To maintain the desired affect, Benzene-1,4-diol should be used concurrently with a strong sunscreen.
Many preparations of Benzene-1,4-diol is available as a combination product.
Lightening of the skin should be noticed within 4 weeks of initiation, if no change is seen in 3 months, contact your dermatologist for further recommendations.

Benzene-1,4-diol is known to inhibit melanogenesis both in vitro and in vivo.
In this study, 2% and 5% Benzene-1,4-diol creams were topically applied to the hyperpigmented skin of 56 patients.
Benzene-1,4-diol was a moderately effective depigmenting agent in 80% of cases.
The 2% cream appeared to be as effective therapeutically as the 5% cream and to evoke untoward side effects (primary irritation) much less often.
Therapy with topically applied Benzene-1,4-diol did not lead to complete disappearance of pathological hypermelanosis, but results were satisfactory enough to help most patients become less self-conscious about their pigmentary abnormalities.

Benzene-1,4-diol production:
Benzene-1,4-diol is produced industrially by two main routes.
The most widely use of Benzene-1,4-diol route is similar to the cumene process in reaction mechanism and involves the dialkylation of benzene with propene to give 1,4-diisopropylbenzene.
This compound reacts with air to afford the bis(hydroperoxide), which is structurally similar to cumene hydroperoxide and rearranges in acid to give acetone and hydroquinone.
A second route involves hydroxylation of phenol over a catalyst.

Benzene-1,4-diol topical (for the skin) is used to lighten areas of darkened skin such as freckles, age spots, melasma (sun damage), or chloasma (darkened skin caused by hormonal changes).
Benzene-1,4-diol topical may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.

The conversion uses hydrogen peroxide and affords a mixture of hydroquinone and catechol (benzene-1,2-diol):
C6H5OH + H2O2 → C6H4(OH)2 + H2O

Other, less common methods include:
A potentially significant synthesis of hydroquinone from acetylene and iron pentacarbonyl has been proposed.
Iron pentacarbonyl serves as a catalyst, rather than as a reagent, in the presence of free carbon monoxide gas.
Rhodium or ruthenium can substitute for iron as the catalyst with favorable chemical yields but are not typically used due to their cost of recovery from the reaction mixture.
Benzene-1,4-diol and its derivatives can also be prepared by oxidation of various phenols.

Examples include Elbs persulfate oxidation and Dakin oxidation:
Benzene-1,4-diol was first obtained in 1820 by the French chemists Pelletier and Caventou via the dry distillation of quinic acid.

Benzene-1,4-diol Reactions:
The reactivity of Benzene-1,4-diol's hydroxyl groups resembles that of other phenols, being weakly acidic.
The resulting conjugate base undergoes easy O-alkylation to give mono- and diethers.
Similarly, Benzene-1,4-diol is highly susceptible to ring substitution by Friedel–Crafts reactions such as alkylation.
This reaction is exploited en route to popular antioxidants such as 2-tert-butyl-4-methoxyphenol (BHA).
The useful dye quinizarin is produced by diacylation of Benzene-1,4-diol with phthalic anhydride.

Redox:
Benzene-1,4-diol undergoes oxidation under mild conditions to give benzoquinone.
This process of Benzene-1,4-diol can be reversed.
Some naturally occurring Benzene-1,4-diol derivatives exhibit this sort of reactivity, one example being coenzyme Q.
Industrially this reaction is exploited both with Benzene-1,4-diol itself but more often with its derivatives where one OH has been replaced by an amine.
When colorless Benzene-1,4-diol and benzoquinone, a bright yellow solid, are cocrystallized in a 1:1 ratio, a dark-green crystalline charge-transfer complex (melting point 171 °C) called quinhydrone (C6H6O2·C6H4O2) is formed.
Benzene-1,4-diol dissolves in hot water, where the two molecules dissociate in solution.

Amination:
An important reaction is the conversion of Benzene-1,4-diol to the mono- and diamine derivatives.
Methylaminophenol, used in photography, is produced in this way:
C6H4(OH)2 + CH3NH2 → HOC6H4NHCH3 + H2O
Similarly diamines, useful in the rubber industry as antiozone agents, are produced similarly from aniline:
C6H4(OH)2 + 2 C6H5NH2 → C6H4(N(H)C6H5)2 + 2 H2O

Benzene-1,4-diol uses:
Benzene-1,4-diol has a variety of uses principally associated with its action as a reducing agent that is soluble in water.
Benzene-1,4-diol is a major component in most black and white photographic developers for film and paper where, with the compound metol, it reduces silver halides to elemental silver.
There are various other uses associated with its reducing power.
As a polymerisation inhibitor, exploiting its antioxidant properties, Benzene-1,4-diol prevents polymerization of acrylic acid, methyl methacrylate, cyanoacrylate, and other monomers that are susceptible to radical-initiated polymerization.
By acting as a free radical scavenger, Benzene-1,4-diol serves to prolong the shelflife of light-sensitive resins such as preceramic polymers.
Benzene-1,4-diol can lose a hydrogen cation from both hydroxyl groups to form a diphenolate ion.
The disodium diphenolate salt of Benzene-1,4-diol is used as an alternating comonomer unit in the production of the polymer PEEK.

Skin depigmentation:
Benzene-1,4-diol is used as a topical application in skin whitening to reduce the color of skin.
Benzene-1,4-diol does not have the same predisposition to cause dermatitis as metol does.

While using Benzene-1,4-diol as a lightening agent can be effective with proper use, it can also cause skin sensitivity.
Using Benzene-1,4-diol a daily sunscreen with a high PPD (persistent pigment darkening) rating reduces the risk of further damage.
Benzene-1,4-diol is sometimes combined with alpha-hydroxy acids that exfoliate the skin to quicken the lightening process.
In the United States, topical treatments usually contain up to 2% in Benzene-1,4-diol.
Otherwise, higher concentrations (up to 4%) should be prescribed and used with caution.
While Benzene-1,4-diol remains widely prescribed for treatment of hyperpigmentation, questions raised about its safety profile by regulatory agencies in the EU, Japan, and USA encourage the search for other agents with comparable efficacy.
Several such agents are already available or under research, including azelaic acid, kojic acid, retinoids, cysteamine, topical steroids, glycolic acid, and other substances.
One of these, 4-butylresorcinol, has been proven to be more effective at treating melanin-related skin disorders by a wide margin, as well as safe enough to be made available over the counter.

What Is Benzene-1,4-diol?
Benzene-1,4-diol is the common name for the ingredient 1,4-dihydroxybenzene, and may be used safely in a variety of cosmetics.

Why is Benzene-1,4-diol used in cosmetics and personal care products?
Benzene-1,4-diol is used in cosmetics as an antioxidant, fragrance ingredient and oxidizing agent in hair dyes.
Benzene-1,4-diol may also be used as a stabilizer that inhibits the polymerization of the adhesive in artificial nails.

Natural occurrences:
Benzene-1,4-diols are one of the two primary reagents in the defensive glands of bombardier beetles, along with hydrogen peroxide (and perhaps other compounds, depending on the species), which collect in a reservoir.
The reservoir opens through a muscle-controlled valve onto a thick-walled reaction chamber.
This chamber is lined with cells that secrete catalases and peroxidases.
When the contents of the reservoir are forced into the reaction chamber, the catalases and peroxidases rapidly break down the hydrogen peroxide and catalyze the oxidation of the hydroquinones into p-quinones.
These reactions release free oxygen and generate enough heat to bring the mixture to the boiling point and vaporize about a fifth of it, producing a hot spray from the beetle's abdomen.
Farnesyl Benzene-1,4-diol derivatives are the principal irritants exuded by the poodle-dog bush, which can cause severe contact dermatitis in humans.
Benzene-1,4-diol is thought to be the active toxin in Agaricus hondensis mushrooms.
Benzene-1,4-diol has been shown to be one of the chemical constituents of the natural product propolis.
Benzene-1,4-diol is also one of the chemical compounds found in castoreum.
This compound is gathered from the beaver's castor sacs.
In bearberry (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi), arbutin is converted to Benzene-1,4-diol.

What is Benzene-1,4-diol?
Benzene-1,4-diol is an organic compound that can be found naturally in different fungi, plants and animals but was first synthetically produced in the 1800s for the purposes of developing black and white photography.
Later on, in the beginning of the 20th century, the effects of Benzene-1,4-diol on the skin as a melanin inhibitor, and antioxidant were discovered and the ingredient was put to use in topical skincare.
For the last 50+ years, Benzene-1,4-diol has been the gold standard for dark spot correcting and recommended by a number of board-certified dermatologists including SLMD founder, Dr. Sandra Lee, for reducing the appearance of pigmentation resulting from acne, melasma, and sun exposure.
Misinformation and confusion has caused Benzene-1,4-diol to become a controversial ingredient, but we’re here to set the record straight and share the right info with you!

IS Benzene-1,4-diol DANGEROUS?
The first misconception that Benzene-1,4-diol is dangerous stemmed from a controversy in South Africa, in 1980, after they identified products containing Hydroquinone to be hazardous.
As a result, South Africa placed a ban on the ingredient, and Japan, EU and Australia followed suit.
However, further research uncovered that these products they identified as hazardous also contained mercury and other illegal contaminants.
Therefore, there was no substantial evidence that the reason for this toxicity was due to the Benzene-1,4-diol, and plenty more research upholds Hydroquinone to be safe and effective when used topically!
A skin disorder known as exogenous ochronosis, which causes skin to darken with blue-black pigmentation, has been linked to the use of prescription strength Hydroquinone chronically (long-term) and at very high percentages.
Benzene-1,4-diol is important to note that this occurrence is very rare — there have been less than 40 cases recorded in the US.
For this reason, when using prescription strength HQs, dermatologists will recommend that after a couple months of use you take a break from the product before continuing your treatment.
Similarly, there has been no evidence or study that indicates that use of a topical Benzene-1,4-diol causes cancer in humans.
It is true that Benzene-1,4-diol should not be ingested orally in high doses, but as it's manufactured in its powdered form for topical skincare, it's a very stable, safe ingredient!

HOW DOES Benzene-1,4-diol WORK?
Benzene-1,4-diol works to reduce the appearance of dark spots over time by decreasing the production of melanin (the protein that gives your skin pigment) and increasing the breakdown of melanocytes (the cells that create melanin).
This works because Benzene-1,4-diol prevents the activity of tyrosinase, the enzyme needed to make melanin.
Melanin is a natural function of our skin — it’s how we get the pigment in our skin, eyes, and hair, but it becomes problematic when Melanocytes (which sit in the Dermis layer of our skin) are stimulated to release extra melanin that form dark spots on the top layer of our skin.
This process can be triggered by UV exposure and trauma (from picking at your skin).
Benzene-1,4-diol also has some antioxidant properties that help protect the skin from UV damage and brighten complexion.
Because Benzene-1,4-diol functions on the cell-level, it requires consistent use to see results — it is not bleaching your skin over time, just making the melanin production of your skin more even.

Benzene-1,4-diol’s safety has been assessed by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel on four separate occasions since 1986.
CIR concluded that Benzene-1,4-diol is safe at concentrations of ≤ 1% in cosmetic formulations designed for discontinuous, brief use followed by rinsing from the skin and hair.
In addition, Benzene-1,4-diol is safe for use as a polymerization inhibitor in nail adhesives and in artificial nail coatings that are cured by LED light.
However, Benzene-1,4-diol is not safe for use in other leave-on cosmetic products.

What is Benzene-1,4-diol?
Benzene-1,4-diol is a skin-lightening agent.
Benzene-1,4-diol bleaches the skin, which can be helpful when treating different forms of hyperpigmentation.
Historically, there’s been some back-and-forth on the safety of Benzene-1,4-diol.
In 1982, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration recognized the ingredient as safe and effectiveTrusted Source.
Several years later, concerns about safety prompted retailers to pull Benzene-1,4-diol from the market.
The FDA went on to discover that many of the products in question contained contaminants like mercury.
They established that these contaminants were behind reports of adverse effects.
Since then, the FDA has confirmed that Benzene-1,4-diol can be safely sold over the counter (OTC) in 2 percent concentrations.
Read on to learn more about how it works, who might benefit from use, products to try, and more.

How does Benzene-1,4-diol work?
Benzene-1,4-diol bleaches your skin by decreasing the number of melanocytes present.
Melanocytes make melanin, which is what produces your skin tone.
In cases of hyperpigmentation, more melanin is present due to an increase in melanocyte production.
By controlling these melanocytes, your skin will become more evenly toned over time.
Benzene-1,4-diol takes about four weeks on average for the ingredient to take effect.
Benzene-1,4-diol may take several months of consistent use before you see full results.
If you don’t see any improvements within three months of OTC use, talk to your dermatologist.
They may be able to recommend a prescription-strength formula better suited to your needs.

What is Benzene-1,4-diol topical?
Benzene-1,4-diol decreases the formation of melanin in the skin.
Melanin is the pigment in skin that gives it a brown color.
Benzene-1,4-diol topical is used to lighten areas of darkened skin such as freckles, age spots, Chloasma, and Melasma.
Benzene-1,4-diol works by inhibiting an enzyme reaction in skin cells.

How should I use Benzene-1,4-diol topical?
Do not use Benzene-1,4-diol topical on skin that is sunburned, dry, chapped, or irritated, or on an open wound.
Benzene-1,4-diol could make these conditions worse.
Discontinue use if excessive irritation develops.
Apply the medication to clean, dry skin.
Dispense a pea size amount on the back of your hand, apply to cheeks, forehead and then to chin.
Blend in the product to cover face.
Avoid the corners of the mouth and nose; these areas can be irritated easily.
Apply to the affected area(s) morning and night.
For Melasma, once the discoloration has resolved or adequately faded, you may either discontinue use or continue weekly maintenance.
Benzene-1,4-diol may take 3 months or more to see improvements.
For Lentigines, use the creams for a maximum of 3 months.

What skin conditions can benefit from Benzene-1,4-diol?
Benzene-1,4-diol is used to treat skin conditions related to hyperpigmentation.

Benzene-1,4-diol includes:
-acne scars
-age spots
-freckles
-melasma
-post-inflammatory marks from psoriasis and eczema

Although hydroquinone can help fade red or brown spots that have lingered, Benzene-1,4-diol won’t help with active inflammation.
For example, Benzene-1,4-diol can help minimize acne scarring, but Benzene-1,4-diol won’t have an effect on redness from active breakouts.

What do I need to tell my doctor BEFORE I take Benzene-1,4-diol?
If you have an allergy to Benzene-1,4-diol or any other part of Benzene-1,4-diol.
If you are allergic to Benzene-1,4-diol; any part of hydroquinone; or any other drugs, foods, or substances.
Tell your doctor about the allergy and what signs you had.
Benzene-1,4-diol may interact with other drugs or health problems.

What is Benzene-1,4-diol?
Benzene-1,4-diol is a topical cream that is used to lighten dark patches of the skin (also called hyperpigmentation).
Benzene-1,4-diol is available as a prescription alone and as a combination cream containing a topical steroid and a topical retinoid.
In some countries, including the United States, Benzene-1,4-diol is available over the counter, most often in a 2-3% formulation.

What is Benzene-1,4-diol used for?
Benzene-1,4-diol is used to lighten dark patches of the skin.
These dark spots can be related or triggered by many factors including pregnancy, birth control pills, inflammation, and injury to the skin.
The most common use is for melasma, a condition in which people develop dark patches on the face and other areas of skin, such as the arms.

How is Benzene-1,4-diol used?
Safe use of Benzene-1,4-diol includes using it under the supervision of a dermatologist.
Benzene-1,4-diol should be applied only to the affected darkened areas of skin to avoid lightening of normal skin.
Benzene-1,4-diol should not be used for extended periods of time as it can cause a paradoxical darkening.
Cycling of use with breaks is recommended to limit overuse and the side effect known as exogenous ochronosis.

What else do I need to know about Benzene-1,4-diol?
Benzene-1,4-diol is an out of pocket expense as insurance will not cover this medication.
If using Benzene-1,4-diol to treat melasma, Benzene-1,4-diol should be used in combination with a broad-spectrum sunscreen SPF 30 or higher daily.
Sunscreen should be applied to the affected areas after Benzene-1,4-diol to avoid relapse of the condition.
Dark areas may recur if the cream is discontinued but this is less likely happen if sun protective measures are followed.

Tell your doctor and pharmacist about all of your drugs (prescription or OTC, natural products, vitamins) and health problems.
You must check to make sure that it is safe for you to take hydroquinone with all of your drugs and health problems.
Do not start, stop, or change the dose of any drug without checking with your doctor.

Benzene-1,4-diol cream is the standard depigmentation or skin lightening agent.
Clinically Benzene-1,4-diol is used to treat areas of dyschromia, such as in melasma, chloasma, solar lentigines, freckles, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
This activity outlines the indications, mechanism of action, methods of administration, important adverse effects, contraindications, and monitoring of Benzene-1,4-diol, so providers can direct patient therapy to optimal outcomes in conditions where it is indicated.

What is Benzene-1,4-diol?
Benzene-1,4-diol also known as tocopheryl acetate, hydroquinone is found in skin-lightening creams, serums, cleansers, and moisturizers.
"Benzene-1,4-diol is a topical skin treatment for melasma, freckles, age and sun spots, and even acne scars," Shafer says.
"Benzene-1,4-diol is used in combination with other acne products such as Retin-A, hydroquinone can help dramatically improve skin complexion.
"Shamban adds to this, reporting that Benzene-1,4-diol can also be used to lighten up freckles as well as post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, which is usually seen after an injury such as a burn or inflammatory acne.

While Benzene-1,4-diol is effective at lightening spots, the results aren't immediate.
Benzene-1,4-diol may take a matter of weeks (or months) before results are discernible to the naked eye.
"Patients need to understand that the treatment is working at the cellular level to reduce the production of pigment," Shafer explains.
"So the effects take several weeks to realize.
As the old skin sheds and new skin is produced, the amount of pigment will be less, leading to a more even skin tone."

Benefits of Benzene-1,4-diol for Skin
Benzene-1,4-diol has several benefits for the skin.
Lightens dark spots (hyperpigmentation): Benzene-1,4-diol is one of the most effective ingredients to lighten hyperpigmentation.
"If you have dark areas from melasma, age spots, or brown spots left from acne, Benzene-1,4-diol helps by decreasing the formation of melanin in the skin (the pigment in the skin that gives it a dark color)," says Buttiglione.
Ng adds: "To date, Benzene-1,4-diol is considered the topical gold standard in dermatology for reducing hyperpigmentation."
Evens out skin tone: Because Benzene-1,4-diol lightens certain areas of the skin that are darkened, the end result is a more balanced, even complexion.

Treats melasma: "Benzene-1,4-diol serves as the backbone of any treatment for a wide variety of conditions, including melasma," notes Shamban.
"Melasma, which is manifested by patches of darker skin typically on the forehead, cheeks, and upper lip, often runs in families and is triggered by UV and visible light exposure often in combination with hormonal shifts such as birth control pills, pregnancy or hormone replacement therapy."
Benzene-1,4-diol can help rectify the side effects of melasma.

What do I do if I miss a dose?

What may interact with Benzene-1,4-diol?
benzoyl peroxide
This list may not describe all possible interactions.
Give your health care provider a list of all the medicines, herbs, non-prescription drugs, or dietary supplements you use.
Also tell them if you smoke, drink alcohol, or use illegal drugs.
Some items may interact with Benzene-1,4-diol.

Benzene-1,4-diol, the major benzene metabolite, is a ubiquitous chemical in the environment due to its widespread application in human and industrial activities.
Benzene-1,4-diol can be used as a developing agent in photography, dye intermediate, stabilizer in paints, varnishes oils, and motor fuels.
In addition, Benzene-1,4-diol has been used as an antioxidant in the rubber and food industry.
From 1950s to 2001 Benzene-1,4-diol was applied in the commercially available cosmetic skin lightening formulations in European Union countries and since 1960s it was commercially available as a medical product.
Benzene-1,4-diol is also present in cosmetic formulations of products for coating finger nails and hair dyes.
On the other hand, Benzene-1,4-diol can be a component of high molecular aromatic compounds (e.g., resin), an intermediate, or appear as a degradation product generated by transformation of aromatic compounds.
Advanced oxidation processes (APOs) of aromatic compounds, particularly of phenol, yield several benzene derivatives, such as hydroquinone, catechol, and resorcinol, as intermediate metabolites of its transformation.
The formation of Benzene-1,4-diol and -benzoquinone at early stages of phenol oxidation increases the toxicity of phenol wastewaters, showing that these compounds were more toxic and less degradable than the original pollutant.
Meanwhile, in the oxidative degradation of Benzene-1,4-diol under a supercritical condition (409.9°C and 24.5 MPa) and subcritical condition (359.9°C and 24.5 MPa), -benzoquinone was to be an important intermediate.
Despite the toxic properties, a number of microorganisms can utilize Benzene-1,4-diol, especially under aerobic conditions, which has led to the development of low-cost treatment of polluted effluents.
The chemical method applied conventionally to the treatment of industrial wastewater used FeSO4 and H2O2; however, the application of this technology generates ferric sulfate, which enables recycled reactants.
Therefore, biological transformations are generally preferred for being considered as more economical and environmentally friendly.

What should I watch for while using Benzene-1,4-diol?
Contact your doctor or health care professional if your condition does not improve in the first two months or if you experience too much skin irritation.
Benzene-1,4-diol will work best if you avoid excessive exposure to sunlight and wear sunscreens and protective clothing.
Some Benzene-1,4-diol products contain sunscreens.
Use a sunscreen (SPF 15 or higher).
Do not use sun lamps or sun tanning beds or booths.
Do not apply Benzene-1,4-diol to sunburned areas or if you have a skin wound in the area of application.
Most cosmetics, sunscreens, and moisturizing lotions may be worn over Benzene-1,4-diol.
Wait several minutes after application of v before applying them.

What side effects may I notice from receiving Benzene-1,4-diol?
Side effects that you should report to your doctor or health care professional as soon as possible:
-severe burning, itching, crusting, or swelling of the treated areas
-unusual skin discoloration

Side effects that usually do not require medical attention (report to your doctor or health care professional if they continue or are bothersome):
-mild itching or stinging
-reddening of the skin
This list may not describe all possible side effects.

Benzene-1,4-diol is one of the most effective skin brightening agents in skincare.

Are the Benzene-1,4-diol dangers worth risking your health?
Snow White set the bar high when Benzene-1,4-diol comes to fair skin.
Many women want overall brighter complexions, and they’re enlisting the help of cosmetics marketed towards brightening dull skin and lightening dark spots.
Skin brightening is so popular and in demand that Benzene-1,4-diol’s become its own industry with Asian countries accounting for more than half of sales.

What is Benzene-1,4-diol?
Benzene-1,4-diol is a skin lightening agent frequently used in skin brightening spot treatments and face creams.
Benzene-1,4-diol’s been long established as the most effective ingredient for lightening skin, fading uneven skin tone, and improving dark spots.
How does Benzene-1,4-diol work? Benzene-1,4-diol bleaches the skin and, therefore, alters the skin tone.
Your skin tone is determined by the amount of melanocytes present in the skin.
Melanocytes are skin cells that create melanin, a dark brown or black pigment.
Melanin is also responsible for making skin appear tanned or darker when exposed to sunlight.
Melanin is beautiful, but Hydroquinone disagrees.
If bleaching your skin doesn’t sound safe to you, you’re right.
Hydroquinone’s not safe or healthy.
Yes, Benzene-1,4-diol works for its desired purposes, but Benzene-1,4-diol’s not good for your skin or body.
Despite its popularity and effectiveness, Benzene-1,4-diol use is controversial for health and safety reasons.

The skin lightener is as controversial as Benzene-1,4-diol is effective.
When incorporated into your complexion regimen properly, Benzene-1,4-diol decreases the production of melanin by inhibiting tyrosinase, an enzyme needed for melanin production, to decrease the appearance of hyperpigmentation.
Because of this, many people consider Benzene-1,4-diol to be a skin-bleaching ingredient.
According to Miami-based board-certified dermatologist Roberta Del Campo, it should be considered a "color blender" instead.

What are some things I need to know or do while I take Benzene-1,4-diol?
-Tell all of your health care providers that you take hydroquinone.
-This includes your doctors, nurses, pharmacists, and dentists.
-After stopping hydroquinone, some of the color change may come back.
-If you have a sulfite allergy, talk with your doctor.

Is Benzene-1,4-diol safe for all skin types and tones?
Although Benzene-1,4-diol is generally well-tolerated, there are a few exceptions.
If you have dry or sensitive skin, you may find that Benzene-1,4-diol causes further dryness or irritation.
Benzene-1,4-diol usually tapers off as your skin adjusts to the ingredient.
People who have normal or oily skin are less likely to experience these side effects.
Benzene-1,4-diol tends to work best on fair skin tones.
If you have a medium-to-dark skin tone, talk with your dermatologist before use.
Benzene-1,4-diol may actually worsen hyperpigmentation in darker skin tones.

How effective is Benzene-1,4-diol?
In most cases, lightening of skin should be seen after four weeks of treatment.
Sometimes Benzene-1,4-diol may take longer to see any change, but if no bleaching effect is seen after three months of treatment, you should stop using hydroquinone.
To increase the effectiveness of Benzene-1,4-diol, you should stay out of the sun, or wear protective clothing and use an SPF15+ sunscreen when outdoors.
Do not use sunlamps or tanning salons.

Benzene-1,4-diol is a skin lightening agent available as either a pharmaceutical or a cosmeceutical.
Benzene-1,4-diols mechanism of action depends on its ability to inhibit tyrosinase synthesis, thereby inhibiting the production of melanin.
Other functions of Benzene-1,4-diol include its ability to inhibit DNA and RNA synthesis, and to degrade melanosomes.
Products sold at 2% concentration are available in more than 100 over-the-counter products, whereas those with a 3–10% concentration are prescription products and regulated as drugs.
New products on the market today use Benzene-1,4-diol in combination with topical retinoids and topical steroids for treatment of melasma and photopigmentation.
Benzene-1,4-diol has received scrutiny recently owing to Hydroquinones risk of ochronosis, a severe but rare side-effect.
Endogenous ochronosis is a manifestation of a rare metabolic disorder known as alkaptonuria, which results from a deficiency of homogentisic acid oxidase.
Exogenous ochronosis is a rare cutaneous side-effect of the long-term use of topical depigmenting agents such as hydroquinone.
Ochronosis is characterized by an asymptomatic blue–black pigmentation of skin and cartilage.
Although the exact cause of ochronosis from topical hydroquinone is not known, studies suggest that hydroquinone may inhibit homogentisic acid oxidase in the dermis, with the accumulation of homogentisic acid in the dermis causing ochronotic pigment deposition.
Other agents reported in the literature to cause exogenous ochronosis are antimalarials, resorcinol, phenol, mercury, and picric acid.

Benzene-1,4-diol is used as an inhibitor of polymerization.
Due to Benzene-1,4-diols outstanding photo developing properties, Hydroquinone is also used as a photo developer, and as a raw material in manufacturing dye intermediates.

Benzene-1,4-diol is used to lighten the dark patches of skin (also called hyperpigmentation, melasma, "liver spots," "age spots," freckles) caused by pregnancy, birth control pills, hormone medicine, or injury to the skin.
Benzene-1,4-diol works by blocking the process in the skin that leads to discoloration.

What is Benzene-1,4-diol?
Benzene-1,4-diol is an organic compound that’s used to treat a variety of discoloration-related skin conditions.
Benzene-1,4-diol’s a skin lightening agent that works by reducing your production of melanin. When used topically, hydroquinone can cause your skin to lighten in color.
Benzene-1,4-diol is widely used as a scar treatment.
Applied topically, Benzene-1,4-diol can cause darkened scars to lose some or all of their extra pigmentation, causing them to blend in and match the color of the surrounding skin.
Benzene-1,4-diol’s also used as a treatment for skin hyperpigmentation caused by UV exposure (spending too much time in the sun) and inflammation.
Topical Benzene-1,4-diol creams are available as prescription medication to treat melasma and other pigmentation-related skin conditions.
You can also buy limited strength Benzene-1,4-diol as an over-the-counter medicine in most pharmacies.

What is Benzene-1,4-diol used for?
Benzene-1,4-diol is a skin-bleaching agent that is used to lighten areas of darkened skin.
Benzene-1,4-diol decreases the formation of melanin in the skin.
Melanin is the pigment in skin that gives it a brown color.
Benzene-1,4-diol has been prescribed for your present skin condition only and should not be given to other people or used for other problems.

In pesticides, Benzenecarbonyl chloride is a new insecticide, which is inducible isoxazole parathion (Isoxathion, Karphos) intermediate.
Benzenecarbonyl chloride is an important benzoyl and benzyl reagent.
Most of Benzenecarbonyl chloride is used in the production of benzoyl peroxide, and secondly for the production of benzophenone, benzyl benzoate, benzyl cellulose.
Benzoyl peroxide catalyzes polymerization initiator for the monomer plastic, polyester, epoxy, acrylic resin production, self-curing agent, which is a glass fiber material, fluorine rubber, silicone crosslinking agents, oil refined, bleached flour, fiber decolorizing.

Benzenecarbonyl chloride is used in the manufacturing of dye intermediates.
For acylation, i.e., introduction of the benzoyl group into alcohols, phenols, and amines (Schotten-Baumann reaction); in the manufacture of benzoyl peroxide and of dye intermediates.
In organic analysis for making benzoyl derivatives for identification purposes.
Benzenecarbonyl chloride is widely utilized for the synthesis of peroxides.
Benzenecarbonyl chloride is employed in the production of dyes and perfumes.
Benzenecarbonyl chloride also serves in the manufacturing of pharmaceuticals and resins.

Preparation
Benzenecarbonyl chloride is produced from benzotrichloride using either water or benzoic acid:

C6H5CCl3 + H2O → C6H5COCl + 2 HCl
C6H5CCl3 + C6H5CO2H → 2 C6H5COCl + HCl
As with other acyl chlorides, Benzenecarbonyl chloride can be generated from the parent acid and standard chlorinating agents such as phosphorus pentachloride, thionyl chloride, and oxalyl chloride.
Benzenecarbonyl chloride was first prepared by treatment of benzaldehyde with chlorine.
An early method for production of Benzenecarbonyl chloride involved chlorination of benzyl alcohol.

Reactions
Benzenecarbonyl chloride reacts with water to produce hydrochloric acid and benzoic acid:

C6H5COCl + H2O → C6H5COOH + HCl
Benzoyl chloride is a typical acyl chloride.
Benzenecarbonyl chloride reacts with alcohols to give the corresponding esters.
Similarly, Benzenecarbonyl chloride reacts with amines to give the amide.
Benzenecarbonyl chloride undergoes the Friedel-Crafts acylation with aromatic compounds to give the corresponding benzophenones and related derivatives.
With carbanions, Benzenecarbonyl chloride serves again as a source of the benzoyl cation synthon, C6H5CO+.
Benzoyl peroxide, a common reagent in polymer chemistry, is produced industrially by treating benzoyl chloride with hydrogen peroxide and sodium hydroxide:

2 C6H5COCl + H2O2 + 2 NaOH → (C6H5CO)2O2 + 2 NaCl + 2 H2O

Reactivity Profile
Benzenecarbonyl chloride reacts violently with protic solvents such as alcohols, with amines and amides (for example dimethylformamide) and with inorganic bases.
Causes the violent decomposition of dimethyl sulfoxide.
May react vigorously or explosively if mixed with diisopropyl ether or other ethers in the presence of trace amounts of metal salts.
Friedel-Crafts acylation of naphthalene using Benzenecarbonyl chloride, catalyzed by AlCl3, must be conducted above the melting point of the mixture, or the reaction may be violent.

Chemical Reactivity
Reactivity with Water Slow reaction with water to produce hydrochloric acid fumes.
The reaction is more rapid with steam; Reactivity with Common Materials: Slow corrosion of metals but no immediate danger; Stability During Transport: Not pertinent; Neutralizing Agents for Acids and Caustics: Soda ash and water, lime; Polymerization: Does not occur; Inhibitor of Polymerization: Not pertinent.

Le benzoate de benzyle (BnBzO) est un agent de médiation et un insectifuge. C'est l'une des préparations les plus anciennes utilisées pour traiter la gale, une infection cutanée causée par l'acarien Sarcoptes scabiei car elle est mortelle pour l'acarien. Il est capable de tuer l'acarien en 5 minutes. Il peut également être utilisé pour le traitement de l'infestation par les poux de la tête et du corps. Son mécanisme d'action consiste à exercer des effets toxiques sur le système nerveux des insectes, provoquant en outre sa mort. Il est également toxique pour les ovules d'acariens par un mécanisme inconnu. Il peut également être utilisé comme répulsif pour les aoûtats, les tiques et les moustiques, ainsi que comme support de colorant, solvant des dérivés de cellulose, plastifiant et fixateur.

Les usages
Médical
Le benzoate de benzyle est un traitement topique efficace et peu coûteux pour la gale humaine. Il a des effets vasodilatateurs et spasmolytiques et est présent dans de nombreux médicaments contre l'asthme et la coqueluche. Il est également utilisé comme excipient dans certains médicaments de remplacement de la testostérone (comme Nebido) pour traiter l'hypogonadisme.
Le benzoate de benzyle est utilisé comme acaricide topique, scabicide et pédiculicide dans les hôpitaux vétérinaires.

Non médical
Le benzoate de benzyle est utilisé comme répulsif pour les aoûtats, les tiques et les moustiques. Il est également utilisé comme support de colorant, solvant pour les dérivés de cellulose, plastifiant et fixateur dans l'industrie du parfum.

Chimie
C'est un composé organique de formule C6H5CH2O2CC6H5. C'est l'ester de l'alcool benzylique et de l'acide benzoïque. Il forme un liquide visqueux ou des flocons solides et dégage une faible odeur de balsamique sucré. Il se produit dans un certain nombre de fleurs (par exemple la tubéreuse) et est un composant du baume du Pérou et du baume de Tolu.

Production
Le benzoate de benzyle est produit industriellement par réaction du benzoate de sodium avec de l'alcool benzylique en présence d'une base, ou par transestérification du benzoate de méthyle et de l'alcool benzylique. C'est un sous-produit de la synthèse de l'acide benzoïque par oxydation du toluène. Il peut également être synthétisé par la réaction de Tishchenko, en utilisant du benzaldéhyde avec du benzilate de sodium (généré à partir de sodium et d'alcool benzylique) comme catalyseur:
La réaction de Tishchenko: le benzaldéhyde réagit au benzoate de benzyle, le catalyseur est le benzilate de sodium.

Il se produit naturellement dans les huiles essentielles telles que l'ylang-ylang, le bois de rose, la cannelle et le benjoin.

Lorsque ces huiles essentielles ne sont pas utilisées dans un produit, le benzoate de benzyle peut être ajouté sous sa forme synthétique en raison de son parfum incroyable et de ses excellentes propriétés de solvant. En effet, il dissout les autres matières parfumées, leur permettant de se fondre plus facilement.

Qu'est-ce que le benzoate de benzyle?
Le benzoate de benzyle est une molécule naturelle que l'on trouve dans certaines plantes et se compose d'alcool benzylique et d'acide benzoïque. Dans les produits cosmétiques, il joue un certain nombre de rôles en fonction du produit et il peut agir comme un parfum, un solvant, un plastifiant, un conservateur et un fixateur.

Comment ça marche?
En tant que parfum, le benzoate de benzyle peut ajouter une odeur balsamique à un produit. Il peut également fonctionner avec d'autres parfums comme solvant pour les aider à se dissoudre dans le mélange. Le benzoate de benzyle agit également comme fixateur dans les produits parfumés où il ralentit la fuite d'autres parfums et augmente la durée de vie du parfum.

Lorsqu'il est ajouté à des produits plus solides comme les savons, le benzoate de benzyle peut agir comme plastifiant. Un plastifiant rend un produit moins cassant, de sorte qu'un savon qui le contient peut être plié et écrasé davantage avant qu'il ne craque ou ne s'effrite.

Le benzoate de benzyle est utilisé pour traiter les infestations de poux et de gale. On pense que ce médicament est absorbé par les poux et les acariens et les détruit en agissant sur leur système nerveux.

Le benzoate de benzyle est l'une des préparations les plus anciennes utilisées pour traiter la gale. La gale est une infection cutanée causée par l'acarien Sarcoptes scabiei. Elle se caractérise par de fortes démangeaisons (en particulier la nuit), des taches rouges et peut conduire à une infection secondaire. Le benzoate de benzyle est mortel pour cet acarien et est donc utile dans le traitement de la gale. Il est également utilisé pour traiter les infestations de poux de la tête et du corps.

Mécanisme d'action
Le benzoate de benzyle exerce des effets toxiques sur le système nerveux du parasite, entraînant sa mort. Il est également toxique pour les ovules d'acariens, bien que son mécanisme d'action exact soit inconnu. In vitro, le benzoate de benzyle tue l'acarien Sarcoptes en 5 minutes.

Absorption
Aucune donnée n'est disponible sur l'absorption percutanée du benzoate de benzyle. Certaines études plus anciennes ont suggéré une certaine absorption percutanée, cependant, la quantité n'a pas été quantifiée.

Métabolisme
Rapidement hydrolysé en acide benzoïque et en alcool benzylique, qui est ensuite oxydé en acide benzoïque. L'acide benzoïque est conjugué à la glycine pour former de l'acide hippurique.

Le benzoate de benzyle est un composé benzylique qui peut être synthétisé en faisant réagir du chlorure de benzyle avec du benzoate de sodium en présence d'iodure de tétrabutylaramonium. Il serait le constituant clé des huiles essentielles isolées des feuilles et de l'écorce de tige de Cinnamomum zeylanicum.
Le benzoate de benzyle, un ester d'alcool benzylique et d'acide benzoïque, est largement utilisé comme fixateur de parfum, ingrédient de parfum et conservateur pour maintenir la puissance et la stabilité d'une variété de formulations cosmétiques. Il est également utilisé comme musc synthétique, acaricide pour traiter la gale et les poux de tête.
L'alcool benzylique est un alcool organique présent dans de nombreux fruits et thés. L'alcool benzylique a un groupe hydroxyle, tandis que le composé apparenté, l'acide benzoïque, a un groupe carboxyle. Le benzoate de sodium, le benzoate de calcium et le benzoate de potassium sont des sels d'acide benzoïque. Le benzoate de benzyle est un ester d'alcool benzylique et d'acide benzoïque.

L'alcool benzylique, l'acide benzoïque et ses sels et le benzoate de benzyle sont utilisés dans une grande variété de cosmétiques et de produits de soins personnels, y compris les produits pour bébés, les produits de bain, les savons et détergents, le maquillage des yeux, les fards à joues, les produits nettoyants, les produits de maquillage, ainsi que produits de soin des cheveux, des ongles et de la peau.

COMMENT EST PRODUIT LE BENZOATE DE BENZYLE

Le benzoate de benzyle est une molécule naturellement présente dans certaines plantes (espèces végétales du genre Polyalthia) et se compose d'alcool benzylique et d'acide benzoïque. Le benzoate de benzyle a été étudié médicalement pour la première fois en 1918.
C'est un ester benzoate obtenu par condensation formelle d'acide benzoïque avec de l'alcool benzylique. Il peut également être produit par la réaction de Tishchenko, en utilisant du benzaldéhyde avec du benzylate de sodium (produit à partir de sodium et d'alcool benzylique) comme catalyseur.

PROPRIÉTÉS PHYSIQUES ET CHIMIQUES DU BENZOATE DE BENZYLE

• Le benzoate de benzyle est insoluble dans l'eau et le glycérol. Soluble dans l'éthanol, l'éther éthylique, l'acétone, le benzène, le méthanol, le chloroforme.
• Le benzoate de benzyle est stable dans les conditions de stockage recommandées.
• Le benzoate de benzyle, lorsqu'il est chauffé pour se décomposer, produit des fumées amères et irritantes.
• Il se présente sous la forme d'un liquide visqueux ou de flocons solides et a une faible odeur balsamique.


Le benzoate de benzyle a un poids moléculaire élevé, ce qui en fait un fixateur largement utilisé dans l'industrie des parfums fins. Il est utilisé dans les formulations pharmaceutiques topiques pour le traitement des poux et de la gale. De plus, le benzoate de benzyle de Kalama est apprécié pour sa compatibilité avec la cire de bougie, incorporant un parfum aux bougies fines tout en favorisant une combustion propre.

Le traitement de la gale est avec la perméthrine topique, le benzoate de benzyle, le malathion, à son ir ou ivermectine orale. Le patient doit appliquer une crème de perméthrine à 5% sur tout le corps, y compris le cuir chevelu, tous les plis, l'aine, le nombril, les organes génitaux externes et la peau sous les ongles, en le lavant après 12 heures. Chez les adultes atteints de gale classique, le traitement du visage est controversé, mais chez les bébés, la peau du visage doit également être traitée. Une deuxième application 7 jours après le traitement initial doit être prescrite et tous les membres affectés d'un ménage doivent être traités en même temps pour éviter les réinfestations cycliques. L'ivermectine orale est de plus en plus utilisée comme traitement de première intention. Les flambées graves nécessitent une deuxième dose d'ivermectine à 2 semaines d'intervalle (200 µg / kg de poids corporel). Un traitement de l'infection bactérienne secondaire et des antihistaminiques peuvent être nécessaires. Laver les vêtements et le linge à 60 ° C tuera tous les jeunes acariens femelles fécondés (une alternative est de les conserver dans un sac en plastique pendant 48 à 72 heures, car les acariens séparés de l'hôte humain meurent dans ce délai). Il est important d'expliquer que le prurit dure généralement plusieurs semaines après la guérison, ce qui peut être partiellement atténué par des antihistaminiques non sédatifs ou sédatifs.

Le benzoate de benzyle est utilisé comme insecticide pour tuer les acariens de la gale, les acariens et les tiques. Il est également utilisé comme plastifiant, fixateur dans les parfums, additif alimentaire et solvant. La dermatite est la principale réaction indésirable à son utilisation comme solution topique. À des concentrations élevées, il s'est avéré posséder des propriétés œstrogéniques et stimuler la croissance des cellules mammaires humaines.

Le cation a une structure similaire à l'anesthésique local, la lidocaïne, dont il ne diffère que par l'addition d'un groupe benzyle sur l'amine tertiaire. Le dénatonium peut être associé avec d'autres anions sous forme de sel tels que l'ion saccharinate pour former le saccharinate de dénatonium ou l'ion chlorure pour former le chlorure de dénatonium. Dénaturant : Rend les cosmétiques désagréables. Principalement ajouté aux cosmétiques contenant de l'alcool éthylique. Agent masquant : Réduit ou inhibe l'odeur ou le goût de base du produit. Le benzoate de dénatonium est principalement utilisé pour son goût amer comme dénaturant, agent répulsif, agent d'aversion ou amérisant. Dans l'Union européenne, le benzoate de dénatonium est utilisé comme dénaturant dans les alcools, principalement pour l'exonération du droit d'accise. Il est aussi utilisé pour décourager la consommation des alcools toxiques tels que le méthanol et l'éthylène glycol. En France les industriels ajoutent un minimum de 20 ppm de benzoate de dénatonium dans les produits contenant de l'éthylène glycol, cela concerne les antigels, les fluides caloporteurs et produits lave-glace.Le benzoate de dénatonium est recommandé dans la lutte pour la protection des enfants et la diminution des accidents ménagers dus à l'absorption de produits ménagers (détergents, produits de lessive, adoucissants), cosmétiques, parfums et produits de bain (shampoing). L'amertume intense du benzoate de dénatonium oblige l'enfant à recracher le produit aussitôt après l’avoir mis en bouche. Le benzoate de dénatonium est utilisé comme additif dans les produits de lutte contre les rongeurs (campagnol, ragondin, rat, souris) et cervidés. Le benzoate de dénatonium est également utilisé dans un vernis à ongles amer pour lutter contre la manie de se ronger les ongles (onychophagie).Noms français : AMMONIUM, BENZYLDIETHYL((2,6-XYLYLCARBAMOYL)METHYL)-, BENZOA BENZENEMETHANAMINIUM, N-(2-((2,6-DIMETHYLPHENYL)AMINO)-2-OXOETHYL)-N,N-DIETHYL-, BENZOATE Benzoate de denatonium BENZOATE DE N-(((DIMETHYL-2,6 PHENYL)AMINO)-2 OXO-2 ETHYL)-N,N-DIETHYLBENZENEMETHANAMINIUM BENZYLDIETHYL((2,6-XYLYLCARBAMOYL)METHYL) AMMONIUM BENZOATE Noms anglais : Denatonium benzoate Le benzoate de denatorium est une des substances les plus amères connues.

BENZOIC ACID

DESCRIPTION:
Benzoic acid is a white (or colorless) solid organic compound with the formula C6H5COOH, whose structure consists of a benzene ring (C6H6) with a carboxyl (−C(=O)OH) substituent.
The benzoyl group is often abbreviated "Bz" (not to be confused with "Bn" which is used for benzyl), thus benzoic acid is also denoted as BzOH, since the benzoyl group has the formula –C6H5CO.
Benzoic acid is the simplest aromatic carboxylic acid.

CAS Number: 65-85-0
EC Number: 200-618-2

The name is derived from gum benzoin, which was for a long time its only source.
Benzoic acid occurs naturally in many plants and serves as an intermediate in the biosynthesis of many secondary metabolites.
Salts of benzoic acid are used as food preservatives.

Benzoic acid is an important precursor for the industrial synthesis of many other organic substances.
The salts and esters of benzoic acid are known as benzoates.

Benzoic acid appears as a white crystalline solid.
Benzoic acid is Slightly soluble in water.
The primary hazard is the potential for environmental damage if released.

Immediate steps should be taken to limit spread to the environment.
Benzoic acid is Used to make other chemicals, as a food preservative, and for other uses.
Benzoic acid is a compound comprising a benzene ring core carrying a carboxylic acid substituent.

Benzoic acid has a role as an antimicrobial food preservative, an EC 3.1.1.3 (triacylglycerol lipase) inhibitor, an EC 1.13.11.33 (arachidonate 15-lipoxygenase) inhibitor, a plant metabolite, a human xenobiotic metabolite, an algal metabolite and a drug allergen.

Benzoic acid is a conjugate acid of a benzoate.
Benzoic acid, C6H5COOH, is a colourless crystalline solid and the simplest aromatic carboxylic acid.
Benzoic acid occurs naturally free and bound as benzoic acid esters in many plant and animal species.

Appreciable amounts have been found in most berries (around 0.05%).
Cranberries contain as much as 300-1300 mg free benzoic acid per kg fruit.
Benzoic acid is a fungistatic compound that is widely used as a food preservative.

Benzoic acid often is conjugated to glycine in the liver and excreted as hippuric acid.
Benzoic acid is a byproduct of phenylalanine metabolism in bacteria.
Benzoic acid is also produced when gut bacteria process polyphenols (from ingested fruits or beverages).

Benzoic acid is an organic aromatic monocarboxylic acid.
Benzoic acid can be synthesized by the cobalt or manganese catalyzed atmospheric oxidation of toluene.
Recently, benzoic acid has been prepared from toluene by employing TiO2 nanotubes electrode.

Benzoic acid reacts with hydrogenating reagents to afford hexahydrobenzoic acid.
The thermal decomposition of the product in the presence of lime or alkali produces benzene and carbon dioxide.

Benzoic acid (C7H6O2) is a colorless crystalline compound.
Benzoic acid is one of the benzoates, which also includes sodium benzoate and potassium benzoate.
Among the foods in which benzoic acid occurs naturally are cranberries, prunes, plums, cinnamon, ripe cloves, and most berries.

As an inactive ingredient in the pharmaceutical industry, Benzoic acid is used as antimicrobial preservative, antifungal, and tablet and capsule lubricant.
Benzoic acid has been used in combination with salicylic acid, as in Whitfield's ointment, for use as an antifungal for athlete's foot and ringworm.

Benzoic acid is also a precursor to many chemical reactions yielding organic compounds.
When absorbed systemically, Benzoic acid is conjugated to glycine in the liver and excreted as hippuric acid; it is not considered highly toxic.


HISTORY OF BENZOIC ACID:
Benzoic acid was discovered in the sixteenth century.
The dry distillation of gum benzoin was first described by Nostradamus (1556), and then by Alexius Pedemontanus (1560) and Blaise de Vigenère (1596).

Justus von Liebig and Friedrich Wöhler determined the composition of benzoic acid.
These latter also investigated how hippuric acid is related to benzoic acid.

In 1875 Salkowski discovered the antifungal properties of benzoic acid, which was used for a long time in the preservation of benzoate-containing cloudberry fruits.

PRODUCTION OF BENZOIC ACID:
Industrial preparations:
Benzoic acid is produced commercially by partial oxidation of toluene with oxygen.
The process is catalyzed by cobalt or manganese naphthenates.
The process uses abundant materials, and proceeds in high yield.

The first industrial process involved the reaction of benzotrichloride (trichloromethyl benzene) with calcium hydroxide in water, using iron or iron salts as catalyst.
The resulting calcium benzoate is converted to benzoic acid with hydrochloric acid.

The product contains significant amounts of chlorinated benzoic acid derivatives.
For this reason, benzoic acid for human consumption was obtained by dry distillation of gum benzoin.
Food-grade benzoic acid is now produced synthetically.

Laboratory synthesis:
Benzoic acid is cheap and readily available, so the laboratory synthesis of benzoic acid is mainly practiced for its pedagogical value.
It is a common undergraduate preparation.

Benzoic acid can be purified by recrystallization from water because of its high solubility in hot water and poor solubility in cold water.
The avoidance of organic solvents for the recrystallization makes this experiment particularly safe.
This process usually gives a yield of around 65%.

By hydrolysis:
Like other nitriles and amides, benzonitrile and benzamide can be hydrolyzed to benzoic acid or its conjugate base in acid or basic conditions.
Bromobenzene can be converted to benzoic acid by "carboxylation" of the intermediate phenylmagnesium bromide.
This synthesis offers a convenient exercise for students to carry out a Grignard reaction, an important class of carbon–carbon bond forming reaction in organic chemistry.

Oxidation of benzyl compounds:
Benzyl alcohol and benzyl chloride and virtually all benzyl derivatives are readily oxidized to benzoic acid.

USES OF BENZOIC ACID:
Benzoic acid is mainly consumed in the production of phenol by oxidative decarboxylation at 300−400 °C:
C6H5CO2H+12O2⟶C6H5OH+CO2
The temperature required can be lowered to 200 °C by the addition of catalytic amounts of copper(II) salts.
The phenol can be converted to cyclohexanol, which is a starting material for nylon synthesis.

Precursor to plasticizers:
Benzoate plasticizers, such as the glycol-, diethyleneglycol-, and triethyleneglycol esters, are obtained by transesterification of methyl benzoate with the corresponding diol.
These plasticizers, which are used similarly to those derived from terephthalic acid ester, represent alternatives to phthalates.

Precursor to sodium benzoate and related preservatives:
Benzoic acid and its salts are used as food preservatives, represented by the E numbers E210, E211, E212, and E213.
Benzoic acid inhibits the growth of mold, yeast and some bacteria.
Benzoic acid is either added directly or created from reactions with its sodium, potassium, or calcium salt.

The mechanism starts with the absorption of benzoic acid into the cell.
If the intracellular pH changes to 5 or lower, the anaerobic fermentation of glucose through phosphofructokinase is decreased by 95%.
The efficacy of benzoic acid and benzoate is thus dependent on the pH of the food.

Benzoic acid, benzoates and their derivatives are used as preservatives for acidic foods and beverages such as citrus fruit juices (citric acid), sparkling drinks (carbon dioxide), soft drinks (phosphoric acid), pickles (vinegar) and other acidified foods.
Typical concentrations of benzoic acid as a preservative in food are between 0.05 and 0.1%.

Foods in which benzoic acid may be used and maximum levels for its application are controlled by local food laws.
Concern has been expressed that benzoic acid and its salts may react with ascorbic acid (vitamin C) in some soft drinks, forming small quantities of carcinogenic benzene.

Medicinal:
Benzoic acid is a constituent of Whitfield's ointment which is used for the treatment of fungal skin diseases such as ringworm and athlete's foot.
As the principal component of gum benzoin, benzoic acid is also a major ingredient in both tincture of benzoin and Friar's balsam.

Such products have a long history of use as topical antiseptics and inhalant decongestants.
Benzoic acid was used as an expectorant, analgesic, and antiseptic in the early 20th century.

Niche and laboratory uses:
In teaching laboratories, benzoic acid is a common standard for calibrating a bomb calorimeter.


REACTIONS OF BENZOIC ACID:
Reactions of benzoic acid can occur at either the aromatic ring or at the carboxyl group.

Aromatic ring:
Electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction will take place mainly in 3-position due to the electron-withdrawing carboxylic group; i.e. benzoic acid is meta directing.

Carboxyl group:
Reactions typical for carboxylic acids apply also to benzoic acid.
Benzoate esters are the product of the acid catalysed reaction with alcohols.
Benzoic acid amides are usually prepared from benzoyl chloride.

Dehydration to benzoic anhydride is induced with acetic anhydride or phosphorus pentoxide.
Highly reactive acid derivatives such as acid halides are easily obtained by mixing with halogenation agents like phosphorus chlorides or thionyl chloride.
Orthoesters can be obtained by the reaction of alcohols under acidic water free conditions with benzonitrile.

Reduction to benzaldehyde and benzyl alcohol is possible using DIBAL-H, LiAlH4 or sodium borohydride.
Decarboxylation to benzene may be effected by heating in quinoline in the presence of copper salts.
Hunsdiecker decarboxylation can be achieved by heating the silver salt.

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES OF BENZOIC ACID:
Benzoic acid has a colourless appearance in its solid state, which is of a crystalline nature.
The crystal structure is monoclinic.
The presence of the aromatic ring gives this compound a faintly pleasant odour.
At a temperature of 130℃, the density of this compound reduces to 1.075 grams per cubic centimetre.

CHEMICAL PROPERTIES OF BENZOIC ACID:
Benzoic acid is soluble in water, and the solubility at 25℃ and 100℃ is 3.44 g/L and 56.31 g/L respectively.
Benzoic acid is soluble in benzene, carbon tetrachloride, acetone, and alcohols.

The acid dissociation constant (pKa) of benzoic acid corresponds to 4.2
Its reactions can occur at the carboxyl group or even at the aromatic ring.

USES OF BENZOIC ACID:
The production of phenol involves the use of benzoic acid.
This compound is used in ointments that prevent or treat fungal skin diseases.
C6H5COOH is used as a preservative in the food industry.

Benzoic acid is an ingredient in many cosmetic products, such as lipsticks.
Benzoic acid is also a precursor to benzoyl chloride, which finds its application in making other chemicals, dyes, perfumes, herbicides and medicines.
One of the components of toothpaste, mouthwash, and face wash creams is C6H5
Benzoic acid is also used in the manufacture of dyes and in insect repellants.

APPLICATIONS OF BENZOIC ACID:

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT BENZOIC ACID:
-What is Benzoic Acid?
Benzoic acid is an organic compound which is described by the chemical formula C6H5COOH.
Benzoic Acid consists of a carboxyl group attached to a benzene ring.
Therefore, benzoic acid is said to be an aromatic carboxylic acid.

Benzoic Acid exists as a crystalline, colourless solid under normal conditions.
The term ‘benzoate’ refers to the esters and salts of C6H5COOH.
The commercial production of benzoic acid is done via the partial oxidation of toluene with oxygen, catalyzed by manganese or cobalt naphthenates.

-What are the uses of benzoic acid?
The primary use of benzoic acid is in the industrial production of the aromatic compound phenol.
This is done via a process known as oxidative decarboxylation.
It can be noted that the ideal temperature under which this process can be carried out is in the range of 300 to 400 °C.

Also, benzoic acid and its salts are widely used in the food industry as food preservatives.
Benzoic acid is not very soluble in water.
However, the solubility of Benzoic Acid in water increases when the temperature is increased (as is the case with most compounds).
At a temperature of 0°C, the solubility of benzoic acid in water corresponds to 1.7 grams per litre.
When heated to 100 °C, the solubility of this compound in water increases to 56.31 grams per litre.

-How can benzoic acid be prepared?
Industrially, benzoic acid can be prepared by employing oxygen gas for the partial oxidation of toluene.
It can be noted that this process usually employs manganese or cobalt naphthenate as catalysts.
This compound can also be prepared via the hydrolysis of benzamide and benzonitrile.
Benzoic Acid can also be prepared by oxidizing benzyl chloride or benzyl alcohol, or any other derivative of the benzyl group.

-Which acid is stronger benzoic acid or acrylic acid?
The double bond of a benzene ring is less electron donating due to delocalisation which destroys the aromatic character of the benzene ring.
Thus, benzoic acid is a stronger acid than acrylic acid.

-Why are all aminoacids weaker acids than benzoic acid ?
Amino group shows +R effect and a weak I effect.
Since, -NH₂ group is basic while -COOH group is acidic, therefore, o-aminobenzoic acid undergoes zwitterion formation formation via H bonding.
As a result, ortho-effect is reduced to such an extent that o-aminobenzoic acid becomes a weaker acid than benzoic acid and even weaker acid than m-aminobenzoic acid.
In fact, due to strong +R -effect, all aminoacids are weaker acids than benzoic acid.

Reactions
Reactions of benzoic acid can occur at either the aromatic ring or the carboxyl group :

Aromatic ring
Electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction will take place mainly in 3- position due to the electron-withdrawing carboxylic group; i.e. benzoic acid is meta directing.
The second substitution reaction (on the right) is slower because the first nitro group is deactivating.
Conversely, if an activating group (electron - donating) was introduced (e.g., alkyl), a second substitution reaction would occur more readily than the first and the disubstituted product might accumulate to a significant extent.

Carboxyl group
All the reactions mentioned for carboxylic acids are also possible for benzoic acid.

Benzoic Acid (E210) is produced commercially by partial oxidation of toluene with oxygen.
The process is catalyzed by cobalt or manganese naphthenates.
The process uses abundant materials, and proceeds in high yield.


*toluene oxidation:
The first industrial process involved the reaction of benzotrichloride (trichloromethyl benzene) with calcium hydroxide in water, using iron or iron salts as catalyst.
The resulting calcium benzoate is converted to Benzoic Acid (E210) with hydrochloric acid.

The product contains significant amounts of chlorinated Benzoic Acid (E210) derivatives.
For this reason, Benzoic Acid (E210) for human consumption was obtained by dry distillation of gum benzoin.
Food-grade Benzoic Acid (E210) is now produced synthetically.


*Laboratory synthesis:
Benzoic Acid (E210) is cheap and readily available, so the laboratory synthesis of benzoic acid is mainly practiced for its pedagogical value.
Benzoic Acid (E210) is a common undergraduate preparation.

Benzoic Acid (E210) can be purified by recrystallization from water because of its high solubility in hot water and poor solubility in cold water.
The avoidance of organic solvents for the recrystallization makes this experiment particularly safe.
This process usually gives a yield of around 65%.


*By hydrolysis:
Like other nitriles and amides, benzonitrile and benzamide can be hydrolyzed to Benzoic Acid (E210) or its conjugate base in acid or basic conditions.


*From Grignard reagent:
Bromobenzene can be converted to Benzoic Acid (E210) by "carboxylation" of the intermediate phenylmagnesium bromide.
This synthesis offers a convenient exercise for students to carry out a Grignard reaction, an important class of carbon–carbon bond forming reaction in organic chemistry.


*Oxidation of benzyl compounds:
Benzyl alcohol and benzyl chloride and virtually all benzyl derivatives are readily oxidized to Benzoic Acid (E210).


*From benzaldehyde:
The base-induced disproportionation of benzaldehyde, the Cannizzaro reaction, affords equal amounts of benzoate and benzyl alcohol; the latter can be removed by distillation.


*From bromobenzene:
Bromobenzene can be converted to Benzoic Acid (E210) by "carboxylation" of the intermediate phenylmagnesium bromide.
This synthesis offers a convenient exercise for students to carry out a Grignard reaction, an important class of carbon–carbon bond forming reaction in organic chemistry.


*From benzyl alcohol:
Benzyl alcohol is refluxed with potassium permanganate or other oxidizing reagents in water.
The mixture is hot filtered to remove manganese dioxide and then allowed to cool to afford Benzoic Acid (E210).


*From benzyl chloride:
Benzoic Acid (E210) can be prepared by oxidation of benzyl chloride in the presence of alkaline KMnO4:
C6H5CH2Cl + 2 KOH + 2 [O] → C6H5COOH + KCl + H2O



HISTORY OF BENZOIC ACID (E210):
Benzoic Acid (E210) was discovered in the sixteenth century.
The dry distillation of gum benzoin was first described by Nostradamus (1556), and then by Alexius Pedemontanus (1560) and Blaise de Vigenère (1596).

Justus von Liebig and Friedrich Wöhler determined the composition of Benzoic Acid (E210).
These latter also investigated how hippuric acid is related to Benzoic Acid (E210).

In 1875 Salkowski discovered the antifungal properties of Benzoic Acid (E210), which was used for a long time in the preservation of benzoate-containing cloudberry fruits.



SOURCING OF BENZOIC ACID (E210):
Benzoic Acid (E210) can be created by deriving it from natural sources.
However, commercially, Benzoic Acid (E210) is typically created synthetically through liquid-phase oxidation of toluene (which is a product from petrochemical processing).



MANUFACTURING OF BENZOIC ACID (E210):
The additive is produced by using liquid-phase oxidation of the sourcing ingredient whilst also being exposed to oxygen and a cobalt catalyst.
Then, sublimation, recrystallization, and neutralization (as well as other processes) can be applied to purify the Benzoic Acid (E210) from any potential by-products that might have occurred during the manufacturing process (these by-products will typically include Benzyl Benzoate, Benzaldehyde, Benzyl Alcohol, Formic Acid, Acetic Acid).



ACCEPTABLE DAILY INTAKE OF BENZOIC ACID (E210):
Benzoic Acid (E210)’s recommended not to be used in amounts higher than 5 milligrams on every kilogram of body weight daily.



BENEFITS OF BENZOIC ACID (E210):
Benzoic Acid (E210) may help fight major depression, panic disorders, and other mental problems.
Benzoic Acid (E210) has various benefits when applied directly to the skin.



BIOLOGY AND HEALTH EFFECTS OF BENZOIC ACID (E210):
Benzoic Acid (E210) occurs naturally as do its esters in many plant and animal species.
Appreciable amounts are found in most berries (around 0.05%).
Ripe fruits of several Vaccinium species (e.g., cranberry, V. vitis macrocarpon; bilberry, V. myrtillus) contain as much as 0.03–0.13% free Benzoic Acid (E210).

Benzoic Acid (E210) is also formed in apples after infection with the fungus Nectria galligena.
Among animals, Benzoic Acid (E210) has been identified primarily in omnivorous or phytophageous species, e.g., in viscera and muscles of the rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) as well as in gland secretions of male muskoxen (Ovibos moschatus) or Asian bull elephants (Elephas Maximus).
Gum benzoin contains up to 20% of Benzoic Acid (E210) and 40% benzoic acid esters.



CHEMISTRY OF BENZOIC ACID (E210):
Reactions of Benzoic Acid (E210) can occur at either the aromatic ring or the carboxylic group:

*Aromatic ring
Electrophilic aromatic substitution reaction will take place mainly in 3-position to the electron-withdrawing carboxylic group.
The second substitution reaction (on the right) is slower because the first nitro group is deactivating.

Conversely, if an activating group (electron-donating) was introduced (e.g., alkyl), a second substitution reaction would occur more readily than the first and the disubstituted product might not accumulate to a significant extent.


*Carboxylic group
All the reactions mentioned for carboxylic acids are also possible for Benzoic Acid (E210).
Benzoic Acid (E210) esters are the product of the acid catalysed reaction with alcohols.

Benzoic Acid (E210) amides are more easily available by using activated acid derivatives (such as benzoyl chloride) or by coupling reagents used in peptide synthesis like DCC and DMAP.

The more active benzoic anhydride is formed by dehydration using acetic anhydride or phosphorus pentoxide.
Highly reactive acid derivatives such as acid halides are easily obtained by mixing with halogenation agents like phosphorus chlorides or thionyl chloride.
Orthoesters can be obtained by the reaction of alcohols under acidic water free conditions with benzonitrile.

Reduction to benzaldehyde and benzyl alcohol is possible using DIBAL-H, LiAlH4 or sodium borohydride.
The copper catalysed decarboxylation of benzoate to benzene may be effected by heating in quinoline.
Also, Hunsdiecker decoarboxylation can be achieved by forming the silver salt and heating.



FUNCTIONS AND APPLICATIONS OF BENZOIC ACID (E210):
In the food industry, Benzoic Acid (E210) and sodium benzoate can be used as preservatives for soy sauce, pickles, apple cider, fruit juice, feed, etc.
In drugs, cosmetics, toothpaste, fragrant powder, tobacco leaves, etc., Benzoic Acid (E210) and sodium benzoate are also used as preservatives.



HISTORY OF BENZOIC ACID (E210):
Benzoic Acid (E210) was discovered in the sixteenth century.
The dry distillation of gum benzoin was first described by Nostradamus (1556), and then by Alexius Pedemontanus (1560) and Blaise de Vigenère (1596).

Pioneer work in 1830 through a variety of experiences based on amygdalin, obtained from bitter almonds (the fruit of Prunus dulcis) oil by Pierre Robiquet and Antoine Boutron-Charlard, two French chemists, had produced benzaldehyde but they failed in working out a proper interpretation of the structure of amygdalin that would account for Benzoic Acid (E210), and thus missed the identification of the benzoyl radical C7H5O.

This last step was achieved some few months later (1832) by Justus von Liebig and Friedrich Wöhler, who determined the composition of Benzoic Acid (E210).
These latter also investigated how hippuric acid is related to Benzoic Acid (E210).
In 1875 Salkowski discovered the antifungal abilities of Benzoic Acid (E210), which was used for a long time in the preservation of benzoate-containing cloudberry fruits.

Benzoic Acid (E210) is also one of the chemical compounds found in castoreum.

MEDICINAL OF BENZOIC ACID (E210):
Benzoic Acid (E210) is a constituent of Whitfield Ointment which is used for the treatment of fungal skin diseases such as tinea, ringworm, and athlete's foot.



PURIFICATION OF BENZOIC ACID (E210):
Benzoic Acid (E210) is purified by recrystallisation of the crude product.
This involves dissolving the material and allowing Benzoic Acid (E210) to recrystallize (or re-solidify), leaving any impurities in solution and allowing the pure material to be isolated from the solution.



SYNTHESIS OF BENZOIC ACID (E210):
Benzoic Acid (E210) is used to make a large number of chemicals, important examples of which are:
Benzoyl chloride, C6H5C(O)Cl, is obtained by treatment of benzoic with thionyl chloride, phosgene or one of the chlorides of phosphorus.

C6H5C(O)Cl is an important starting material for several Benzoic Acid (E210) derivates like benzyl benzoate, which is used as artificial flavours and insect repellents.

Benzoyl peroxide, [C6H5C(O)O]2, is obtained by treatment with peroxide.
The peroxide is a radical starter in polymerization reactions and also a component in cosmetic products.

Benzoate plasticizers, such as the glycol-, diethylengylcol-, and triethyleneglycol esters are obtained by transesterification of methyl benzoate with the corresponding diol.

Alternatively these species arise by treatment of benzoylchloride with the diol.
These plasticizers are used similarly to those derived from terephthalic acid ester.

Phenol, C6H5OH, is obtained by oxidative decarboxylation at 300-400°C.
The temperature required can be lowered to 200°C by the addition of catalytic amounts of copper(II) salts.
The phenol can be converted to cyclohexanol, which is a starting material for nylon synthesis.



HISTORICAL PREPARATION OF BENZOIC ACID (E210):
The first industrial process involved the reaction of benzotrichloride (trichloromethyl benzene) with calcium hydroxide in water, using iron or iron salts as catalyst.
The resulting calcium benzoate is converted to Benzoic Acid (E210) with hydrochloric acid.

The product contains significant amounts of chlorinated Benzoic Acid (E210) derivatives.
For this reason, Benzoic Acid (E210) for human consumption was obtained by dry distillation of gum benzoin.
Food-grade Benzoic Acid (E210) is now produced synthetically.

BENZOIN
Benzoin is the sap (gum resin) that comes from cuts in the trunk of trees that belong to the Styrax family.
Benzoin is used on the skin for ulcers, bed sores (pressure ulcers), cracked skin, and many other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses.
Benzoin is used in small quantities in foods as a flavoring.

CAS Number: 119-53-9
EC Number: 204-331-3
Chemical Formula: C6H5CH(OH)COC6H5
Molar Mass: 212.25 g/mol

Benzoin is acrid, impressively aromatic and has strong vanilla like smell.
Main components of Benzoin are benzaldehyde, benzoic acid, benzyl benzoate, cinnamic acid and vanillin.
The vanilla scent of the plant is due to vanillin.

Benzoic acid, named from the benzoin tree, provides the oil with Benzoins signature scent.
The phenilpropiolic acid in benzoin adds a balsamic note to the oil's aroma, while benzaldehyde adds an almond note.

The cinnamates present in the cinnamic acid is used as a flavouring agent and produce chocolate-like flavor.
The benzyl benzoate is commonly used medicinally and can be a strong insect repellent.

All these variety of chemical compounds constitute the various properties and subsequent benefits of the benzoin essential oil as discussed earlier.

Benzoin is a well established and reliable degassing agent for powder coatings.
During the curing of a powder coating film, the benzoin melts and chemically scavenges oxygen and promotes dissolution of gases into the resin to minimize bubble formation in the coating film.

Surface defects such as pinholes and other imperfections can be reduced or eliminated by incorporating 0.3 – 1.5% of benzoin into the powder coating formulation along with the other raw materials.
As with anyraw material, laboratory evaluation is required for each formulation to determine the best processing method and the optimum concentration of the additive.

Benzoin is an organic compound with the formula PhCHCPh.
Benzoin is a hydroxy ketone attached to two phenyl groups.

Benzoin appears as off-white crystals, with a light camphor-like odor.
Benzoin is synthesized from benzaldehyde in the benzoin condensation.

Benzoin is chiral and Benzoin exists as a pair of enantiomers: -benzoin and -benzoin.
Benzoin is not a constituent of benzoin resin obtained from the benzoin tree (Styrax) or tincture of benzoin.

The main component in these natural products is benzoic acid.
Benzoin was first reported in 1832 by Justus von Liebig and Friedrich Woehler during their research on oil of bitter almond, which is benzaldehyde with traces of hydrocyanic acid.

The catalytic synthesis by the benzoin condensation was improved by Nikolay Zinin during his time with Liebig.
Benzoin or 2-Hydroxy-2-phenylacetophenone or 2-Hydroxy-1,2-Diphenylethanone or desyl alcohol or bitter almond oil camphor is an organic compound consisting of an ethylene bridge flanked by phenyl groups and with a hydroxyl and a ketone functional group.

Benzoin comes as off-white crystals, with a light camphor odor.
Benzoin is synthesized from benzaldehyde in the benzoin condensation.

Benzoin is a resin that is derived from the bark of several species of trees in the genus Styrax.
Benzoin is used as a common ingredient in incense-making and perfumery.

Benzoin essential oil contains a range of chemical compounds that contributes to the oil's scent and healing properties.
While benzoin is often recommended for topical use, Benzoin is important to know that Benzoin is highly concentrated.
Benzoin's scent is highly versatile and compliments variety of other scents in many essential oil collections.

You may be in for a surprise when you smell benzoin essential oil for the very first time, because Benzoin smells a lot like vanilla.
This concentrated resinous oil is extracted from the gum resin of the benzoin tree (Styrax benzoin), which mainly grows in Malaysia, Indonesia, Sumatra and Java.
The tree is tapped and when Benzoin exudes gum resin, Benzoin is used to create the oil.

Benzoin trees are known to produce resin in this way for 15-20 years.
These trees can grow up to 50 feet tall as they are native to tropical regions.

When a benzoin tree is around seven years old, Benzoins bark can be tapped, much like a maple tree to collect the sap.
The resin is harvested as a gum from the tree, also by making a small cut in the bark, and the tree oozes the sap/resin out.

Once the crude tree resin is hardened, a solvent is added to extract the benzoin essential oil.
Benzoin essential oil offers more than just nice smell.

Often mentioned in aromatherapy guides, benzoin has an uplifting, warm scent that reminds many people of vanilla.
Benzoin is a great addition to any medicine cabinet due Benzoins variety of medicinal properties, which we will further discuss in detail.

Benzoin is the sap (gum resin) that comes from cuts in the trunk of trees that belong to the Styrax family.
Benzoin is used on the skin for ulcers, bed sores (pressure ulcers), cracked skin, and many other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses.
Benzoin is used in small quantities in foods as a flavoring.

There is some evidence that benzoin might act as a skin protectant and may also help to break up chest congestion by thinning mucous and making Benzoin easier to cough up.

Benzoin is the sap (gum resin) of trees that belong to the Styrax species.
Don’t confuse benzoin with Siam benzoin (Styrax tonkinensis), which is used only in manufacturing and not as a medicine.
People take benzoin by mouth for swelling (inflammation) of the throat and breathing passages.

Some people apply Benzoin directly to the skin to kill germs, reduce swelling, and stop bleeding from small cuts.
Benzoin is also used topically for skin ulcers, bedsores, and cracked skin.

In combination with other herbs (aloe, storax, and tolu balsam), benzoin is used as a skin protectant.
This combination is known as “compound benzoin tincture.”

By inhalation, benzoin is used to treat hoarseness (laryngitis), croup, and other respiratory conditions.
In dentistry, benzoin is used for swollen gums and herpes sores in the mouth.
In manufacturing, benzoin is used in making pharmaceutical drugs.

Benzoin resin is a balsamic resin obtained from the bark of several species of trees in the genus Styrax.
There are two common kinds of benzoin, benzoin Siam and benzoin Sumatra, that are obtained from different species of the Styrax tree.

While benzoin resin is used as a common ingredient in incense-making and perfumery, Benzoin is also used clinically as a mild antiseptic agent in over-the-counter products to clean sores, cuts, wounds, and skin abrasions as tincture of benzoin, or benzoin in a solution of alcohol.
Tincture of benzoin solution is a topical adhesive agent used to provide tackiness and enhance the adhesive property of tape.

Benzoin is a flavouring ingredient.
Benzoin is an organic compound with the formula PhCH(OH)C(O)Ph.

Benzoin is a hydroxy ketone attached to two phenyl groups.
Benzoin appears as off-white crystals, with a light camphor-like odor.

Benzoin is synthesized from benzaldehyde in the benzoin condensation.
Benzoin is chiral and Benzoin exists as a pair of enantiomers: (R)-benzoin and (S)-benzoin.

The economic and cultural roles of benzoin have undergone major changes in the last few decades.
Previously benzoin gardening was considered a high status activity which generated high incame and made farmer proud.
Nowadays some villages have abandoned the practices as other more profitable cash crops have displaced benzoin as an income source.

The younger generations perceives benzoin cultivation as a backward activity, preferring to work in their annual crop gardens or for wages.
Nevertheless some farmers remain attached to benzoin as they recognize Benzoin as Benzoin that gave life to their settlement and provided the means to educate generations of relatives.
From a conservation point of fiew, benzoin management represents low-intensity disturbance of the ecosystem and allows the effective accumulation of a forest species while maintaining the forest environment.

A reddish-brown, aromatic balsamic resin occurring in almondlike fragments and having a vanillalike odor, obtained from trees of the genus Styrax, especially S. benzoin, of Java, Sumatra, etc.: used in the manufacture of perfume and cosmetics and in medicine internally as an expectorant and externally as an antiseptic.
Also called benjamin, benjamin-bush.
Any plant belonging to the genus Lindera (Benzoin), of the laurel family, including the spicebush and similar aromatic plants.

A hard fragrant yellowish balsamic resin from trees (genus Styrax) of southeastern Asia used especially as a fixative in perfumes, as incense, and in medicine as an expectorant and skin protectant
A white crystalline hydroxy ketone C14H12O2 made from benzaldehyde

In common with balsam of Peru and balsam of tolu, this is an oil – tapped from a tree (Styrax benzoin), after deliberately damaging the bark.
Benzoin was first described in the 14th Century; the Arabs called benzoin ‘frankincense of Java’, and Benzoin’s had a seriously long tradition of use in pomanders, pot pourri, incense and soaps.
(Rather usefully, benzoin multi-tasks as an antiseptic and an inhalant, as well as a stypic, i.e. Benzoin actually stops minor wounds bleeding.)

Benzoin gives ‘body’ to many perfumes (Benzoin’s especially widely-used in ambrées) and is sweetly seductive.
As perfumer Alienor Massenet explains: ‘Benzoin is as suave as vanilla, and has a touch of cinnamon to Benzoin.
I use Benzoin for feminine and masculine fragrances: Benzoin gives an “openness” and sensuality to fragrances.

Our Benzoin has a rich, intensely sweet, warm, powdery, balsamic, vanilla-like aroma, with a subtle spicy/cinnamon-like undertone.
Benzoin is an effective fixative for the middle notes of perfume compositions, soaps, cosmetics and toiletries, while the raw material is used extensively in the manufacture of incense.

Benzoin is worthwhile to note that the addition of too much Benzoin can suppress the odor of other aromatic ingredients.
'Sweet, but not sugary', 'rich but not heavy' are the reasons why perfumers prize Benzoin.
Please be aware that because Benzoin is diluted with ethanol, Benzoin is not soluble in fixed (carrier/vegetal) oils or in fixed oil-based products.

Benzoin is a resinous tree in the Styracaceae family.
The genus Styrax contains about 130 species of trees and shrubs occurring in tropical to temperate climates with three main areas of distribution: southeastern Asia, southeastern North America to South America, and a single species in the Mediterranean.

To harvest Benzoin resin, farmers climb up to a height of 30 feet using rope ladders where an incision is made in the bark to make Benzoin 'weep' (release) the gum.
After about ten weeks this exudate forms 'tears'.

Apparently simple, but physically demanding, this is a skilled technique that will soon be lost, especially as synthetic chemicals replace real Benzoin.
When 7-10 years old, one tree can provide an average of up to 0.5 kilo of resin per year.
As Benzoin is, the yield is very low - 1.2 kilos of tears make 1 kilo of Benzoin resinoid.

Benzoin resin is a natural tree resin incense known as styrax benzoin, gum noble, cavi frankincense, benzoin gum or cavi noble.
Benzoin is harvested from Styrax type trees.
These trees grow widely in Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam.

Benzoin has a soothing, refreshing, warm aroma.
Benzoin is often described by first-experiencers as a scent reminiscent of the scent of vanilla.
This resin incense, which is not known in our country yet, is widely used in negative energy cleansing and purification rituals in some parts of the world.

This special resin, which is also used in perfume making and handmade natural incense mixtures, is preferred as a base note in perfume recipes.
Cedar wood, cypress, sandalwood, wood, frankincense , myrrh , jasmine, juniper, rose, vetiver, Ginger, coriander, black pepper.
Benzoin is compatible with other citrus oils and fragrances such as lemon, orange, tangerine and bergamot.

Benzoin is an aromatic, evergreen tree growing from 8 - 34 metres tall with a slightly buttressed bole that can be from 10 - 100cm in diameter.
The plant excretes a fragrant balsam on being bruised.
This species is the main source of the fragrant gum, benzoin.

Traditionally, this has been gathered from the wild for local medicinal use.
Benzoin first gained popularity in Europe towards the end of the 16th century, and now finds extensive use worldwide as an incense and in the flavour, fragrance and pharmaceutical industries.

Benzoin is probably best known as an ingredient of the herbal preparation 'Friar's Balsam'.
Benzoin is cultivated for Benzoins gum in tropical Asia.

The easiest and most practical method of burning resin incense is to use incense (censer) charcoal.
When the incense coal is burned and turned into an ember, that is, when Benzoin is completely ready for use, Benzoin is sufficient to put a piece of cavi asilbent incense on the coal.

Benzoin incense can also be used on a censer.
In this way, the spread of the smell is slower, the smell comes out lighter.
Benzoin incense, which is in the category of stone frankincense, can also be heated in a pan or burned directly.

Benzoin resin is tapped from the Styrax benzoin tree when Benzoin reaches maturity (after 7 years old).
When cut the tree exudes the sap or benzoin resin.
This resin contains approximately one-third benzoic acid, a mild antimicrobial, which is sometimes used in food and cosmetics preservation.

Benzoin is commonly used in perfumery and functions as a fixative - Benzoin will anchor other scents.
Some say Benzoin has a warm, sweet aroma reminiscent of vanilla and caramel.

I think the crushed resin smells like chocolate.
The resin and extracts made from Benzoin have been used throughout antiquity, from the Arabia's and South Asia to China and was predominantly used for burning incense, perfumery and to treat minor medical problems.

Benzoins way over to the West and we started seeing Benzoin used for general health, as well as in beauty remedies.
In Georgian times, a tonic called Imperial water was used as a mouthwash for easing toothache.

Benzoin was also used as a face spritz to smooth wrinkles.
A combination of benzoin, balm of gilead, houseleek and wine was used in Virgins Milk, a remedy for blemished skin.

Historically, tincture of benzoin has been used to treat skin sores, cuts and blisters as an antiseptic and a styptic (an agent to stop bleeding.)

Benzoin is an off-white to yellow-white crystalline solid with an odor of camphor.

Uses of Benzoin:

Benzoin Resin:
As benzoin resin contains little water you can make a tincture using 180 proof alcohol at a 1:1 ratio.
Simply grind the resin to a powder and weigh Benzoin.

Add equal amounts of 95-96% organic, non denatured ethanol.
When you first mix Benzoin together and give Benzoin a shake, Benzoin will look like chocolate milkshake and smell like a very boozy coffee liqueur.

Over time, the alcohol will turn dark brown and the residue will lose Benzoins colour.
Shake the tincture daily for a minimum of 14 days.

At the time of writing this post, my benzoin tincture had been infusing for approximately 8 months.
Some types of benzoin dissolve fully in alcohol and some only partially.

The type I used had a great deal of sediment left over after the infusion and needed straining with a muslin cloth.
Unlike medicinal alcoholic infusions that typically contain about 10% resin this is a highly concentrated tincture.

You can dilute Benzoin further after you have finished if you so wish.
This resin would likely be a good base for solid perfume or to use as a fixative scent in your homemade beauty products.

Benzoin Condensation:
The Benzoin Condensation is a coupling reaction between two aldehydes that allows the preparation of α-hydroxyketones.
The first methods were only suitable for the conversion of aromatic aldehydes.

Mechanism of Benzoin Condensation:
Addition of the cyanide ion to create a cyanohydrin effects an umpolung of the normal carbonyl charge affinity, and the electrophilic aldehyde carbon becomes nucleophilic after deprotonation: A thiazolium salt may also be used as the catalyst in this reaction.

Benzonitrile is a stable compound to pyrolysis, and its decomposition starts above 550°C with a very low decomposition rate.
A study performed in a flow reactor on N2 saturated with benzonitrile in the temperature range 550–600°C showed that the main pyrolysis products of this compound are HCN, benzene, monocyanodiphenyls, dicyanodiphenyls, and dicyanobenzenes as well as char.
The position of the hydrogen atom where the cleavage takes place is not preferential because pyrolysis generates a mixture of monocyanodiphenyls, dicyanodiphenyls, and dicyanobenzenes (e.g., 2-cyano, 3-cyano, and 4-cyanobiphenyl).
The presence of dicyanobenzene in the pyrolyzate indicates that free CN• radicals are likely to be formed in the reaction.
Kinetic parameters for the reactions of benzonitrile decomposition are reported in the literature, with the formation of different compounds having different reaction orders.
The pyrolyzate at 575°C obtained for 30 min contact time contains about 5.9 mole % HCN, 4.9 mole % dicyanobenzenes, 3.0 mole % benzene, 1.2% monocyanobiphenyls, and the other compounds at lower levels.

History
Benzonitrile was reported by Hermann Fehling in 1844.
He found the compound as a product from the thermal dehydration of ammonium benzoate.
He deduced its structure from the already known analogue reaction of ammonium formate yielding formonitrile.
He also coined the name benzonitrile which gave the name to all the group of nitriles.
In 2018, benzonitrile was reported to be detected in the interstellar medium.

BENZOPHENONE 4
Benzophenone 4 Sulisobenzone (benzophenone 4) is an ingredient in some sunscreens which protects the skin from damage by UVB and UVA ultraviolet light. Its sodium salt, sulisobenzone sodium, is also referred to as benzophenone-5. Properties of Benzophenone-4 Chemical formula C14H12O6S Molar mass 308.31 g/mol Appearance Light-tan powder Melting point 145 °C (293 °F; 418 K) Solubility in water 1 g per 4 mL BENZOPHENONE 4 is classified as : Uv absorber Uv filter CAS Number of Benzophenone-4 4065-45-6 EINECS/ELINCS No: 223-772-2 Restriction (applies to EU only): VII/22 COSING REF No: 32143 INN Name: sulisobenzone Chem/IUPAC Name: 5-Benzoyl-4-hydroxy-2-methoxybenzenesulfonic acid What Is Benzophenone-4? Benzophenone-1, -3, -4, -5, -9 and-11 are compounds made from 2-hydroxybenzophenone. These compounds are powders. In cosmetics and personal care products, Benzophenone-1 and Benzophenone-3 are used mostly in the formulation of nail polishes and enamels. These Benzophenone ingredients are also used in bath products, makeup products, hair products, sunscreens and skin care products. Why is Benzophenone-4 used in cosmetics and personal care products? Benzophenone-1, Benzophenone-3, Benzophenone 4, Benzophenone-5, Benzophenone-9 and Benzophenone-11 protect cosmetics and personal care products from deterioration by absorbing, reflecting, or scattering UV rays. When used as sunscreen ingredients, Benzophenone-3 and Benzophenone 4 protect the skin from UV rays. Scientific Facts of Benzophenone-4: Benzophenone ingredients absorb and dissipate UV radiation, which serves to protect cosmetics and personal care products. As part of sunscreen products, which are OTC drugs in the United States, Benzophenone-3 (Oxybenzone) and Benzophenone 4 (Sulisobenzone) protect the skin from the harmful effects of the sun. Exposing unprotected skin to UV light (primarily in the UV-B range) can result in sunburn and can promote premature aging of the skin and skin cancer. Odor of Benzophenone-4: characteristic Use of Benzophenone-4: Benzophenone 4 is a water soluble UVB absorber and is also commonly used to protect formulations from degradation due to UV exposure. In combination with UVA absorbers, it offers broad spectrum protection against UV radiation for skin and hair. Benzophenone 4 is approved by the FDA in concentrations of up to 10% and in Canada, is approved by Health Canada at the same concentrations. It works to filter out both UVA and UVB rays, protecting the skin from sun UV damage. The UV-filter substance, Benzophenone 4 (BP-4) is widely used an ingredient in sunscreens and other personal care products,. It falls under the drug category of benzophenones. The benzophenones are a group of aromatic ketones that have both pharmaceutical and industrial applications. Benzophenones may be found organically in fruits such as grapes. Benzophenones are used as photoinitiators, fragrance enhancers, ultraviolet curing agents, and, occasionally, as flavor ingredients; they are also used in the manufacture of insecticides, agricultural chemicals, and pharmaceuticals and as an additive for plastics, coatings, and adhesives. As a group, benzophenones may be used to delay photodegradation or extend shelf life in toiletries and plastic surface coatings. Analyte: Benzophenone 4; matrix: chemical purity; procedure: dissolution in water; addition of dehydrated isopropyl alcohol; potentiometric titration with tetrabutylammonium hydroxide to two endpoints Benzophenone 4's production and use as an ultraviolet absorber in cosmetics, sunscreens and shampoos and in leather and textile fabrics(1,2) may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams. If released to air, an estimated vapor pressure of 1.3X10-11 mm Hg at 25 °C indicates Benzophenone 4 will exist solely in the particulate phase in the atmosphere. Particulate-phase Benzophenone 4 will be removed from the atmosphere by wet and dry deposition. Benzophenone 4 absorbs at wavelengths >290 nm and therefore may be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight. If released to soil, Benzophenone 4 is expected to have high mobility based upon an estimated Koc of 67. The estimated pKa values of the sulfonic acid are -2.4 and 7.6, indicating that this compound will exist in the anion form in the environment and anions generally do not adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts. Volatilization from moist soil is not expected because the compound exists as an anion and anions do not volatilize. Benzophenone 4 is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces based upon its vapor pressure. No relevant data were available to assess the importance of biodegradation in soil or water. If released into water, Benzophenone 4 is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment based upon the estimated Koc. Volatilization from water surfaces is not expected based upon the estimated pKa values. An estimated BCF of 3.2 suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low. Hydrolysis is not expected to be an important environmental fate process since this compound lacks functional groups that hydrolyze under environmental conditions. Sensitized photolysis may have some importance in natural waters exposed to sunlight. Occupational exposure to Benzophenone 4 may occur through dermal contact with this compound at workplaces where Benzophenone 4 is produced or used. The general population may be exposed to Benzophenone 4 via dermal contact with this compound in consumer products, such as sunscreens and cosmetics, containing Benzophenone 4. Based on a classification scheme, an estimated Koc value of 67, determined from a structure estimation method, indicates that Benzophenone 4 (BP-4) is expected to have high mobility in soil. The estimated pKa values of Benzophenone 4 (BP 4) are -2.4 and 7.6, indicating that this compound will exist almost entirely in anion form in the environment and anions generally do not adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(4). Volatilization from moist soil is not expected because the compound exists as an anion and anions do not volatilize. Benzophenone 4 (BP-4) is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces based upon an estimated vapor pressure of 1.3X10-11 mm Hg at 25 °C, determined from a fragment constant method. No relevant data were available to assess the importance of biodegradation in the environment. The rate constant for the vapor-phase reaction of Benzophenone 4 (BP-4) with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals has been estimated as 7.5X10-11 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C using a structure estimation method. This corresponds to an atmospheric half-life of about 5.2 hours at an atmospheric concentration of 5X10+5 hydroxyl radicals per cu cm. Benzophenone 4 (BP-4) is not expected to undergo hydrolysis in the environment due to the lack of hydrolyzable functional groups. Benzophenone 4 (BP-4) absorbs at wavelengths >290 nm and therefore may be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight. Phenols are susceptible to sensitized photolysis in natural waters exposed to sunlight through reaction with hydroxy and peroxy radicals(4); therefore sensitized photolysis may have some importance in the environment. An estimated BCF of 3 was calculated for Benzophenone 4 (BP-4), using an estimated log Kow of 0.37 and a regression-derived equation. According to a classification scheme, this BCF suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low. Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices, the Koc of Benzophenone 4 (BP-4) can be estimated to be 67. According to a classification scheme, this estimated Koc value suggests that Benzophenone 4 (BP-4) is expected to have high mobility in soil. The estimated pKa values of Benzophenone 4 (BP-4) are -2.4 and 7.6, indicating that this compound will exist in the anion form in the environment and anions generally do not adsorb more strongly to soils containing organic carbon and clay than their neutral counterparts(4). The estimated pKa values of -2.4 and 7.6 indicate Benzophenone 4 (BP-4) will exist almost entirely in the anion form at pH values of 5 to 9 and, therefore, volatilization from water and moist soil surfaces is not expected to be an important fate process. Benzophenone 4 (BP-4) is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces based upon an estimated vapor pressure of 1.3X10-11 mm Hg, determined from a fragment constant method. In surface seawater samples collected from Folly Beach, South Carolina in the summer of 2010, Benzophenone 4 (BP-4) was not detected in any samples from four sites (detection limit 1 ng/L) while other UV filter compounds (avobenzone, octocrylene, octinoxate, and padimate-O) were detected at concentrations ranging from 10 to 2013 ng/L. According to the 2006 TSCA Inventory Update Reporting data, the number of persons reasonably likely to be exposed in the industrial manufacturing, processing, and use of Benzophenone 4 (BP-4) is 1 to 99; the data may be greatly underestimated. NIOSH (NOES Survey 1981-1983) has statistically estimated that 91,292 workers (38,820 of these were female) were potentially exposed to Benzophenone 4 (BP-4) in the US. Occupational exposure to Benzophenone 4 (BP-4) may occur through dermal contact with this compound at workplaces where Benzophenone 4 (BP-4) is produced or used. The general population may be exposed to Benzophenone 4 (BP-4) via dermal contact with this compound in consumer products, such as sunscreens and cosmetics, containing Benzophenone 4 (BP-4). In this study, /investigators/ evaluate the effects of benzophenone-4 (BP-4) in eleuthero-embryos and in the liver, testis and brain of adult male fish on the transcriptional level by focusing on target genes involved in hormonal pathways to provide a more complete toxicological profile of this important UV-absorber. Eleuthero-embryos and males of zebrafish were exposed up to 3 days after hatching and for 14 days, respectively, to Benzophenone 4 (BP-4) concentrations between 30 and 3000 ug/L. In eleuthero-embryos transcripts of vtg1, vtg3, esr1, esr2b, hsd17beta3, cyp19b cyp19a, hhex and pax8 were induced at 3000 ug/L Benzophenone 4 (BP-4), which points to a low estrogenic activity and interference with early thyroid development, respectively. In adult males Benzophenone 4 (BP-4) displayed multiple effects on gene expression in different tissues. In the liver vtg1, vtg3, esr1 and esr2b were down-regulated, while in the brain, vtg1, vtg3 and cyp19b transcripts were up-regulated. In conclusion, the transcription profile revealed that Benzophenone 4 (BP-4) interferes with the expression of genes involved in hormonal pathways and steroidogenesis. The effects of BP-4 differ in life stages and adult tissues and point to an estrogenic activity in eleuthero-embryos and adult brain, and an antiestrogenic activity in the liver. The results indicate that Benzophenone 4 (BP-4) interferes with the sex hormone system of fish, which is important for the risk assessment of this UV-absorber. Pharmacology of Benzophenone-4 (BP 4) Benzophenone 4 sunscreens, applied topically, protect the skin from these harmful effects of ultraviolet light by chemically absorbing light energy (photons). Correct use of sunscreens serves to reduce the risk of sunburn. Sunscreen agents prevent the occurrence of squamous-cell carcinoma of the skin when used mainly during unintentional sun exposure. No conclusion can be drawn about the cancer-preventive activity of topical use of sunscreens against both basal-cell carcinoma and cutaneous melanoma. Use of sunscreens can extend the duration of intentional sun exposure, such as bathing in the sun. Benzophenone's main metabolic pathway in the rabbit is by reduction to benzhydrol. A small amount (1%) is converted to p-hydroxybenzophenone 4 following oral administration to rats. A surface coating of benzophenones decreases the amount of UV radiation absorbed by the skin by limiting the total amount of energy that reaches the skin. Benzophenone 4 sunscreens, applied topically, protect the skin from these harmful effects of ultraviolet light by chemically absorbing light energy (photons). As this occurs, the benzophenone molecule becomes activated to higher energy levels. As the excited molecule returns to its ground state, the energy is released in the form of thermal energy. The hydroxyl group in the ortho position to the carbonyl group is believed to be a structural requirement for the benzophenones' absorption of UV light. This structural arrangement also contributes to the electronic stability of the molecule. Benzophenone 4 absorb energy throughout the UV range, although the maximum UV absorbance is between 284 and 287 nm for the 2-hydroxybenzophenones. Benzophenone 4 sunscreens, applied topically, protect the skin from these harmful effects of ultraviolet light by chemically absorbing light energy (photons). As this occurs, the Benzophenone 4 molecule becomes excited to higher energy levels. As the excited molecule returns to its ground state, the energy is released in the form of thermal energy. The hydroxyl group in the ortho position to the carbonyl group is believed to be a structural requirement for the Benzophenone 4's absorption of UV light. This structural arrangement also contributes to the electronic stability of the molecule. Thus, a surface coating of Benzophenones decreases the amount of UV radiation absorbed by the skin by limiting the total amount of energy that reaches the skin. Benzophenone 4 absorb energy throughout the UV range, though maximum absorbance is between 284 and 287 nm for the 2-hydroxybenzophenones. Benzophenone-4 is prepared via sulfonation of Benzophenone-3. The product is purified by precipitation from aqueous HCl, isolated by centrifugation, washed with acidic water, and dried. The maximum recommended levels of lead and arsenic impurities in Benzophenone-4 are /13 ppm and 1 ppm respectively/. The FDA Panel on Review of Topical Analgesics has proposed that Benzophenones-3, -4, and -8 are safe and effective as active ingredients in sunscreens for over-the-counter (OTC) use at the following concentrations: Benzophenone-3, 2%-6%; Benzophenone-4, 5%-10%; and Benzophenone-8, 3%. The Panel proposed these concentration limits on a combined safety and efficacy basis (a concentration limit may reflect maximum efficacy and not necessarily an indication of toxicity at a higher concentration). Acute oral toxicity (LD50): 3530 mg/kg [Rat]. This drug can cause skin and eye irritation. Drug-induced phototoxicity is a non-immunological inflammatory skin reaction, caused by concurrent topical or systemic exposure to a specific molecule and ultraviolet radiation. Most of the phototoxic compounds absorb energy particularly from UVA light leading to activated derivatives, which can induce cellular damage. Benzophenone 4s are ultraviolet light filters that have been documented to cause a variety of adverse skin reactions, including contact and photocontact dermatitis, contact and photocontact urticaria, and anaphylaxis. Recently, they have become especially well known for their ability to induce allergy and photoallergy. Topical sunscreens and other cosmetics are the sources of these allergens in the majority of patients, however reports of reactions secondary to use of industrial products also exist. Benzophenone 4s as a group have been named the American Contact Dermatitis Society's Allergen of the Year for 2014 to raise awareness of both allergy and photoallergy to these ubiquitous agents. The liver is the main target organ of benzophenone 4 toxicity in rats and mice, based on elevations n liver weights, hepatocellular hypertrophy, clinical chemistry changes, and induction of liver microsomal cytochrome P450 2B isomer. The kidney was also identified as a target organ of benzophenone 4 toxicity in rats only, which was based on exposure concentration-related increases in kidney weights and microscopic changes. To determine the frequency of irritant reactions to 19 organic sunscreen filters in current use. Ninety-four healthy volunteers were photopatch tested using the European consensus methodology to three different concentrations (2%, 5%, and 10%) of 19 organic sunscreen filters at the Photobiology Unit in Dundee, UK. Of the 94 subjects recruited, 80 were analyzed after withdrawals and exclusions. Of the 19 organic sunscreen filters studied, only 2 compounds led to irritant reactions in > or =5% subjects. Five per cent and 10% benzophenone-4 led to irritant reactions in four and six subjects, respectively. Five per cent methylene bis-benzotriazolyl tetramethylbutylphenol led to irritant reactions in six subjects, but unlike benzophenone-4, this was not in a dose-dependent fashion. When performing photopatch testing according to the European consensus methodology with these 19 organic sunscreen filters, a 10% concentration is suitable for all filters, except benzophenone-4, which should be tested at a concentration of 2%. Investigators/ tested the potential irritancy of Benzophenone-4 on six adult white humans. Patches containing 1% or 10% Benzophenone-4 in alcohol were applied to the subjects for 24 hours, after which time the patches were removed, the sites scored, and fresh patches applied. This procedure was repeated every other day, three days per week for seven weeks, until a total of 21 patches had been made. The mean cumulative irritation scores for 1% and 10% solutions were 8.6 and 53.1, respectively (maximum score = 84). The latter value is indicative of a primary irritant. Benzophenones-4 (BP4) and -11 were tested for potential skin irritation in separate single insult patch tests. Each ingredient was applied at concentrations of 16, 8, and 4% in DMP /dimethyl phthalate/ and in petrolatum to the skin of each of 14 subjects. At a concentration of 16% in either base, Benzophenones-4 and -11 were irritating to four and two subjects, respectively. Neither ingredient was irritating at concentrations of 4% or 8% in either vehicle. Acute Exposure/ A number of studies have determined the potential irritancy of Benzophenones to the eyes of rabbits. The test material (0.1 mL or 0.1 g) was instilled into one eye of each rabbit; the other eye served as an untreated control. Eyes were examined and scored for irritation daily for a period of three to ten days. Some test procedures included washing of the treated eyes with water four seconds after instillation of the test material. Results of eye irritation tests revealed that most Benzophenones at concentrations of 5%-100% were nonirritating when instilled into the eyes of rabbits. Benzophenones-1, -2, and -4 were slightly to moderately irritating at 100% concentration; however, ... Benzophenone-4 was irritating at concentrations of 8 and 16% in DMP /dimethyl phthalate/ or petrolatum, it was nonirritating when tested as a 5% solution in water. Subchronic or Prechronic Exposure/ ...A 16-day cumulative test in rabbits /was used/ to study the irritation potential of Benzophenone-4. An alcohol solution containing either 10% or 1% Benzophenone-4 was applied uncovered to the depilated backs of six New Zealand albino rabbits. Twenty-four hours later the sites were scored for irritation, and the solution was reapplied. This procedure was repeated every other day for five weeks, until a total of 16 applications of Benzophenone-4 had been made. The average cumulative irritation score was then calculated (maximum score = 64); applications of Benzophenone-4 (10%) and Benzophenone-4(1%) produced scores of 3.6 and 0.3, respectively. In this work, /the authors/ evaluate whether in vitro systems are good predictors for in vivo estrogenic activity in fish. /Investigators/ focus on UV filters being used in sunscreens and in UV stabilization of materials. First, /investigators/ determined the estrogenic activity of 23 UV filters and one UV filter metabolite employing a recombinant yeast carrying the estrogen receptor of rainbow trout (rtERalpha) and made comparisons with yeast carrying the human hERalpha for receptor specificity. Benzophenone-1 (BP1), benzophenone-2 (BP2), 4,4-dihydroxybenzophenone, 4-hydroxybenzophenone (bp-4), 2,4,4-trihydroxy-benzophenone, and phenylsalicylate showed full dose-response curves with maximal responses of 81-115%, whereas 3-benzylidene camphor (3BC), octylsalicylate, benzylsalicylate, benzophenone-3, and benzophenone 4 displayed lower maximal responses of 15-74%. Whereas the activity of 17beta-estradiol was lower in the rtERalpha than the hERalpha assay, the activities of UV filters were similar or relatively higher in rtERalpha, indicating different relative binding activities of both ER. Subsequently, /investigators/ analyzed whether the in vitro estrogenicity of eight UV filters is also displayed in vivo in fathead minnows by the induction potential of vitellogenin after 14 days of aqueous exposure. Of the three active compounds in vivo, 3BC induced vitellogenin at lower concentrations (435 ug/L) than BP1 (4919 ug/L) and BP2 (8783 ug/L). The study shows, for the first time, estrogenic activities of UV filters in fish both in vitro and in vivo. Thus /investigators/ propose that receptor-based assays should be used for in vitro screening prior to in vivo testing, leading to environmental risk assessments based on combined, complementary, and appropriate species-related assays for hormonal activity. Here /the authors/ report on acute and chronic effects of UV-filters 3-(4-methylbenzylidene-camphor) (4MBC), 2-ethyl-hexyl-4-trimethoxycinnamate (EHMC), benzophenone-3 (BP3) and benzophenone-4 (BP4) on Daphnia magna. The acute toxicity increased with log Pow of the compound. The LC50 values (48 hr) of 4MBC, EHMC, BP3 and BP4 were 0.56, 0.29, 1.9 and 50 mg/L, respectively. A tentative preliminary environmental risk assessment (ERA) based on a limited set of data indicates that individual UV-filters should undergo further ecotoxicological analysis, as an environmental risk cannot be ruled out. Consequently new data on the environmental occurrence and the effects of UV-filters are needed for a more accurate ERA. When regarded as a mixture occurring in surface waters they may pose a risk for sensitive aquatic organisms. Benzophenone 4 (BP-4) is the organic compound with the formula (C6H5)2CO, generally abbreviated Ph2CO. It is a white solid that is soluble in organic solvents. Benzophenone 4 (BP-4) is a widely used building block in organic chemistry, being the parent diarylketone. Uses of Benzophenone-4 Benzophenone 4 (BP-4) can be used as a photo initiator in UV-curing applications such as inks, imaging, and clear coatings in the printing industry. Benzophenone 4 (BP-4) prevents ultraviolet (UV) light from damaging scents and colors in products such as perfumes and soaps. Benzophenone 4 (BP-4) can also be added to plastic packaging as a UV blocker to prevent photo-degradation of the packaging polymers or its contents. Its use allows manufacturers to package the product in clear glass or plastic (such as a PETE water bottle). Without it, opaque or dark packaging would be required. In biological applications, Benzophenone 4 (BP-4)s have been used extensively as photophysical probes to identify and map peptide–protein interactions. Benzophenone 4 (BP-4) is used as an additive in flavorings or perfumes for "sweet-woody-geranium-like notes." Synthesis of Benzophenone-4 Benzophenone 4 (BP-4) is produced by the copper-catalyzed oxidation of diphenylmethane with air. A laboratory route involves the reaction of benzene with carbon tetrachloride followed by hydrolysis of the resulting diphenyldichloromethane. It can also be prepared by Friedel–Crafts acylation of benzene with benzoyl chloride in the presence of a Lewis acid (e.g. aluminium chloride) catalyst: since benzoyl chloride can itself be produced by the reaction of benzene with phosgene the first synthesis proceeded directly from those materials. Another route of synthesis is through a palladium(II)/oxometalate catalyst. This converts an alcohol to a ketone with two groups on each side. Another, less well-known reaction to produce Benzophenone 4 (BP-4) is the pyrolysis of anhydrous calcium benzoate. Organic chemistry of Benzophenone-4 Benzophenone 4 (BP-4) is a common photosensitizer in photochemistry. It crosses from the S1 state into the triplet state with nearly 100% yield. The resulting diradical will abstract a hydrogen atom from a suitable hydrogen donor to form a ketyl radical. Benzophenone 4 (BP-4) radical anion Main article: Air-free technique File:Making Benzophenone 4 (BP-4) radical anion.webm Addition of a solution of Benzophenone 4 (BP-4) in THF to a vial containing THF, sodium metal, and a stir bar, yielding the deep blue Benzophenone 4 (BP-4) anion radical. Playback speed 4x original recording. Alkali metals reduce Benzophenone 4 (BP-4) to the deeply blue colored radical anion, diphenylketyl: M + Ph2CO → M+Ph2CO•− Generally sodium is used as the alkali metal. Although inferior in terms of safety and effectiveness relative to molecular sieves, this ketyl is used in the purification of organic solvents, particularly ethers, because it reacts with water and oxygen to give non-volatile products. The ketyl is soluble in the organic solvent being dried, so it accelerates the reaction of the sodium with water and oxygen. In comparison, sodium is insoluble, and its heterogeneous reaction is much slower. When excess alkali metal is present a second reduction may occur, resulting in a color transformation from deep blue to purple: M + M+Ph2CO•− → (M+)2(Ph2CO)2− A solvent pot containing dibutyl ether solution of sodium Benzophenone 4 (BP-4) ketyl, which gives it its purple color. Commercially significant derivatives and analogues There are over 300 natural Benzophenone 4 (BP-4)s, with great structural diversity and biological activities. They are being investigated as potential sources of new drugs. Substituted Benzophenone 4 (BP-4)s such as oxybenzone and dioxybenzone are used in many sunscreens. The use of Benzophenone 4 (BP-4)-derivatives which structurally resemble a strong photosensitizer has been criticized (see sunscreen controversy). Michler's ketone has dimethylamino substituents at each para position. The high-strength polymer PEEK is prepared from derivatives of Benzophenone 4 (BP-4). Safety It is considered as "essentially nontoxic." Benzophenone 4 (BP-4) is however banned as a food additive by the US Food and Drug Administration, despite the FDA's continuing stance that this chemical does not pose a risk to public health under the conditions of its intended use. Benzophenone 4 (BP-4) derivatives are known to be pharmacologically active. From a molecular chemistry point of view interaction of Benzophenone 4 (BP-4) with B-DNA has been demonstrated experimentally. The interaction with DNA and the successive photo-induced energy transfer is at the base of the Benzophenone 4 (BP-4) activity as a DNA photosensitizers and may explain part of its therapeutic potentialities. In 2014, Benzophenone 4 (BP-4)s were named Contact Allergen of the Year by the American Contact Dermatitis Society. Benzophenone 4 (BP-4) is an endocrine disruptor capable of binding to the pregnane X receptor. Environmental Fate/Exposure Summary Benzophenone 4 (benzophenone-4)'s production and use in organic synthesis, as an odor fixative, as a flavoring, soap fragrance; in the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, and as a polymerization inhibitor for styrene may result in its release to the environment through various waste streams. Its use as an inert ingredient in nonfood use pesticides may result in its direct release to the environment. Benzophenone 4 (benzophenone-4) occurs naturally in Merrill flowers. If released to air, a vapor pressure of 1.93X10-3 mm Hg at 25 °C indicates Benzophenone 4 (benzophenone-4) will exist solely as a vapor in the atmosphere. Vapor-phase Benzophenone 4 (benzophenone-4) will be degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals; the half-life for this reaction in air is estimated to be 3 days. Benzophenone 4 (benzophenone-4) absorbs UV light at wavelengths >290 nm and, therefore, may be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight. If released to soil, Benzophenone 4 (benzophenone-4) is expected to have moderate to low mobility based upon Koc values of 430 and 517. Volatilization from moist soil surfaces is expected to be an important fate process based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 1.9X10-6 atm-cu m/mole. Benzophenone 4 (benzophenone-4) is not expected to volatilize from dry soil surfaces based upon its vapor pressure. Utilizing the Japanese MITI test, 0% of the Theoretical BOD was reached in 2 weeks indicating that biodegradation is not an important environmental fate process in soil or water. If released into water, Benzophenone 4 (benzophenone-4) is not expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment based upon the Koc values. Volatilization from water surfaces is expected to be an important fate process based upon this compound's estimated Henry's Law constant. Estimated volatilization half-lives for a model river and model lake are 15 and 110 days, respectively. Measured BCF values of 3.4-9.2 suggest bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is low. Hydrolysis is not expected to be an important environmental fate process since this compound lacks functional groups that hydrolyze under environmental conditions (pH 5 to 9). Occupational exposure to Benzophenone 4 (benzophenone-4) may occur through inhalation and dermal contact with this compound at workplaces where Benzophenone 4 (benzophenone-4) is produced or used. Monitoring data indicate that the general population may be exposed to Benzophenone 4 (benzophenone-4) via ingestion of food and dermal and inhalation contact with consumer products or flowers containing Benzophenone 4 (benzophenone-4). About Benzophenone 4 Benzophenone 4 is registered under the REACH Regulation and is manufactured in and / or imported to the European Economic Area, at ≥ 100 to < 1 000 per annum.
