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]
For the monohydroxo derivatives, three isomers are possible: 1-anthrol, ... 1-anthrol, 1-hydroxyanthracene 610-50-4 150 °C 302 °F 2-anthrol, 2-hydroxyanthracene
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 ]
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 ]
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.
Anthraquinone, also called anthracenedione or dioxoanthracene, is an aromatic organic compound with formula C 14 H 8 O 2. Several isomers exist but these terms usually refer to 9,10-anthraquinone (IUPAC: 9,10-dioxoanthracene) wherein the keto groups are located on the central ring. It is used as a digester additive to wood pulp for papermaking.
