CAS 613-14-9
:2-Hydroxyanthracene
Description:
2-Hydroxyanthracene, with the CAS number 613-14-9, is an organic compound that belongs to the class of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). It features a hydroxyl (-OH) group attached to the anthracene structure, which consists of three fused benzene rings. This compound is characterized by its solid state at room temperature, typically appearing as a crystalline powder. It is known for its fluorescence properties, making it useful in various applications, including as a fluorescent probe in chemical and biological research. The presence of the hydroxyl group enhances its solubility in polar solvents compared to its parent compound, anthracene. 2-Hydroxyanthracene can undergo various chemical reactions, including oxidation and substitution, and is often studied for its potential environmental impact due to its PAH classification. Additionally, it has been investigated for its role in organic electronics and photonic devices due to its electronic properties. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as with many PAHs, due to potential health risks associated with exposure.
