Applications of Methyl 4-tert-Butylbenzoate
It is an important organic synthesis intermediate and pharmaceutical intermediate. One of its main uses is in the production of the sunscreen agent avobenzone (also known as 4-tert-butyl-4-methoxydibenzoylmethane basoline 1789). Avobenzone is a highly effective sunscreen agent that can absorb UV-A. When mixed with UV-B absorbers, it can completely absorb ultraviolet light in the range of 280–380 nm.
