The resulting diradical will abstract a hydrogen atom from a suitable hydrogen donor to form a ketyl radical.; Benzophenone is the organic compound with the formula (C6H5)2CO, generally abbreviated Ph2CO. Benzophenone is a widely used building block in organic chemistry, being the parent diarylketone. |
