Benzophenone derivatives expressed by the following general expression (1): A(C--B).sub.n (1) wherein A in the above general expression (1) is a residual group obtained by removing one hydroxyl group from sugar or sugar alcohol, and B is a benzophenone group shown by the following general expression (2) ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 through R.sub.10 each is expressed by hydrogen, hydroxyl group, an alkoxy group, or the aforesaid binder C, and at least one of them is the binder C. In the case of an alkoxy group, preferably the number of carbon atoms is 1 to 4. C is equivalent to --O--R-- (O is oxygen, R is a fatty chain, and the number of carbon atoms therein is preferably 1 to 4), or 1 mole of glycerin with one hydroxyl group therein bound to A and another hydroxyl group to B. The benzophenone derivatives according to the present invention have excellent capability to absorb ultraviolet rays as well as high compatibility with polar solvent. Also the external preparation for skin in which the benzophenone derivatives are mixed can be mixed in a polar base with wide availability for industrial purpose.
以下是通式(1)所表示的苯基酮衍
生物:A(C-B)n(1),其中在上述通式(1)中,A是从糖或糖醇中去除一个羟基后得到的残基基团,B是由以下通式(2)所示的苯基酮基团:##STR1## 其中R1至R10分别表示氢、羟基、烷氧基或上述结合剂C,其中至少有一个是结合剂C。在烷氧基的情况下,碳原子数最好为1至4。C相当于--O--R--(O为氧,R为脂肪链,其中碳原子数最好为1至4),或者1摩尔的
甘油,其中一个羟基与A结合,另一个羟基与B结合。本发明的苯基酮衍
