CAS 120-12-7: Anthracene
Description:Anthracene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) composed of three fused benzene rings, resulting in a planar, linear structure. It is a solid at room temperature, typically appearing as colorless to pale yellow crystals. Anthracene is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as benzene, toluene, and chloroform. It has a melting point around 218 °C and a boiling point of approximately 340 °C. This compound is known for its strong fluorescence, making it useful in various applications, including as a scintillator in radiation detection and as a precursor for the synthesis of other organic compounds. Anthracene can undergo various chemical reactions, including oxidation and hydrogenation, and is also a component of coal tar. While it has some industrial applications, anthracene is classified as a potential carcinogen, necessitating careful handling and regulation in its use. Its environmental persistence and potential toxicity highlight the importance of monitoring its presence in ecosystems.
