Description

Anthraquinone by Research Lab Fine Chem Industries is a high grade reagent. Also known as anthracenedione and dioxoanthracene, this is an aromatic organic compound with several isomers. The reagent is available as a crystalline yellow powder which poorly soluble in water but soluble in hot organic solvents. It has a melting point at 286 C, and a boiling point at 379.8 C. Anthraquinone is industrially produced by the oxidation of anthracene. CAS No.: 84-65-1 Quantity Provided: 500 gm per bottle Molecular formula: C14H8O2 Molecular weight: 208.22 Assay: minimum 97 %Anthraquinone has a variety of applications in chemical and biological sectors. It is majorly used to produce synthetic dyes such as alizarin. Important derivatives obtained include 1-nitroanthraquinone, anthraquinone-1-sulfonic acid, and the dinitroanthraquinone. It is also used as a digester additive in production of paper pulp by alkaline processes. Anthraquinone is used to produce various drugs such as laxatives, antimalarials and anti-neoplastics. Industrially, this reagent is used for the production of hydrogen peroxide. This reagent is suitable for industrial synthesis of products and research applications.
