Superiority
Benzyl 4-hydroxybenzoate (Paraben, Benzyl Paraben) is an ester of para-hydroxy benzoic acid. It has been added to various cosmetics and personal care products as a preservative. Its quantification in cosmetics has been reported by HPLC methods. Microwave assisted synthesis of benzyl 4-hydroxybenzoate by reaction between (4-hydroxybenzoic) acid and K2CO3 in presence of phase transfer catalyst has been reported. It is an endocrine disrupting chemical (EDC). It is a promising candidate for use in pharmaceutical and personal care products. Its visible-light assisted photosensitized degradation in homogeneous aqueous solution of 4,4?,4??,4???-(porphine-5,10,15,20-tetrayl)tetrakis(benzenesulphonic acid) has been investigated.
