Benzil
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Benzil is a 1,2-diketone compound with multiple functions including photo-peroxidation initiator, crosslinking initiator and pattern-forming agent, and is commonly used as a precursor for photodegradable network crosslinkers. In oxygen-purged polymer films or glassy matrices, Benzil reacts with molecular oxygen under illumination at wavelengths greater than 370 nm or 400 nm, and converts to benzoyl peroxide in nearly quantitative yield. Subsequently, the generated benzoyl peroxide groups produce free radicals via thermal or photochemical decomposition, thereby enabling crosslinking of polymer chains, grafting of new monomers, and preparation of patterned polymers on solid surfaces using mask irradiation. Benzil also induces crosslinking of photodegradable poly (phenyl vinyl ketone) to form a stable photodegradable polymer network.

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.
- For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
- To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for In Vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
- The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 40% PEG300 5% Tween-80 45% Saline
Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (9.89 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.
Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
Add each solvent one by one: 10% DMSO 90% (20% SBE-β-CD in Saline)
Solubility: ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (9.89 mM); Clear solution
This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 2.08 mg/mL (saturation unknown).
Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (20.8 mg/mL) to 900 μL 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline, and mix evenly.
Preparation of 20% SBE-β-CD in Saline (4°C, storage for one week): 2 g SBE-β-CD powder is dissolved in 10 mL Saline, completely dissolve until clear.
