2,6-Dimethylanthracene

Description:

2,6-Dimethylanthracene is an organic compound belonging to the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) family. It features a fused three-ring structure, characteristic of anthracene, with two methyl groups attached at the 2 and 6 positions. This compound is typically a solid at room temperature, exhibiting a crystalline form with a distinct blue fluorescence under ultraviolet light. It is relatively insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents such as benzene and toluene. 2,6-Dimethylanthracene is known for its stability and resistance to oxidation, making it useful in various applications, including organic electronics and as a fluorescent probe in chemical research. Additionally, it has been studied for its potential role in photophysical processes and as a model compound in environmental studies due to its presence in combustion products. However, like many PAHs, it may pose environmental and health risks, necessitating careful handling and disposal.
