P-BGCE - photoreduction of benzophenone in green chemistry using an alternate solvent ethyl alcohol

reenChemistry is an approach to the synthesis, processing and use of chemicals that reduces risks to humans and the environment.
A synthesis of benzopinacol from benzophenone is carried out using ethanol as a solvent. This ia a free radical reaction
and reduction of benzophenone occurred by sunlight via UV radiation. Benzopinacol is a catalyst of the formation of unsaturated
polyesters. It is also used as an organic synthesis intermediate and as an initiator of polymerization by free radicals . Characterization
of Benzopinacol was done by using spectroscopic technique like IR,NMR etc. Results positively show that solvent ethyl alcohol can
be used as an alternative for photoreduction of benzphenone in case of non availability of isopropyl alcohol.
