A variety of anthracene derivatives find specialized uses. Derivatives having a hydroxyl group are 1-hydroxyanthracene and 2-hydroxyanthracene, homologous to phenol and naphthols, and hydroxyanthracene (also called anthrol, and anthracenol) [30] [31] are pharmacologically active.
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
Hydroxyanthracene derivatives are mainly emodin, chrysophanol and their glycosides. [8] Other hydroxyanthracene derivatives are rhein , aloe emodin and physcion and their glycosides. [ 9 ]
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).
One peculiarity of the hydroxyanthraquinones is the relative obscurity of the monohydroxy derivatives. Most hydroxyanthraquinones have two or more hydroxy groups.
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.
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.
