9,10-Anthracenedione,1,8-dihydroxy-3-methoxy-6-methyl-2-[(1E)-3-methyl-1-buten-1-yl]-

Description:

9,10-Anthracenedione, 1,8-dihydroxy-3-methoxy-6-methyl-2-[(1E)-3-methyl-1-buten-1-yl]- is a complex organic compound characterized by its anthraquinone structure, which consists of three fused benzene rings. This compound features multiple functional groups, including hydroxyl (-OH), methoxy (-OCH3), and a substituted alkene, contributing to its chemical reactivity and potential biological activity. The presence of hydroxyl groups often enhances solubility in polar solvents and can facilitate hydrogen bonding, while the methoxy group may influence the compound's electronic properties and stability. The alkene side chain introduces additional reactivity, potentially allowing for further chemical transformations. This compound may exhibit interesting photophysical properties, making it relevant in fields such as organic electronics or dye chemistry. Additionally, its structural complexity suggests potential applications in medicinal chemistry, particularly in the development of therapeutic agents. However, specific properties such as melting point, boiling point, and solubility would require empirical data for precise characterization.
