Anthrols (sometimes called anthranols) are the hydroxylated derivatives of anthracene. For the monohydroxo derivatives, three isomers are possible: 1-anthrol, 2-anthrol, and 9-anthrol. The latter exists as a minor tautomer of 9- anthrone .

Anthracene is a solid polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) of formula C 14 H 10, consisting of three fused benzene rings. It is a component of coal tar. Anthracene is used in the production of the red dye alizarin and other dyes. Anthracene is colorless but exhibits a blue (400–500 nm peak) fluorescence under ultraviolet radiation. [13]
9,10-Dihydroxyanthracene is an organic compound with the formula C 14 H 10 O 2.It is the hydroquinone form of 9,10-anthraquinone (AQ). It formed when AQ is hydrogenated. [1] It is easily dissolved in alkaline solutions and is often called soluble anthraquinone (SAQ).
In organic chemistry hydroxyanthraquinones refers to compounds with the formula C 12 H 8-n (OH) n (CO) 2 where n ≥ 1. Almost all hydroxyanthraquinones are derivative of 9,10-anthraquinone . [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 5 ]
The yellow color of certain lichens, particularly in the family Teloschistaceae (here Variospora thallincola), is due to the presence of anthraquinones. [2]Natural pigments that are derivatives of anthraquinone are found, inter alia, in aloe latex, senna, rhubarb, and cascara buckthorn, fungi, lichens, and some insects.
9-Anthracenemethanol is the derivative of anthracene with a hydroxymethyl group (CH 2 OH) attached to the 9-position. It is a colorless solid that is soluble in ordinary organic solvents. The compound can be prepared by hydrogenation of 9-anthracenecarboxaldehyde. It is a versatile precursor to supramolecular assemblies.
Several isomers of dihydroanthracene are known, but the 9,10 derivative is most common. It is a colourless solid that is used as a carrier of H 2 as a hydrogen-donor . [ 2 ]
