2-Methylanthraquinone

Description:

2-Methylanthraquinone, with the CAS number 84-54-8, is an organic compound belonging to the anthraquinone family, characterized by its two carbonyl groups (C=O) located at the 9 and 10 positions of the anthracene structure, along with a methyl group at the 2 position. This compound typically appears as a dark red to purple solid and is known for its relatively high melting point and low solubility in water, but it is soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone. 2-Methylanthraquinone is primarily used in the dye industry, particularly in the production of various dyes and pigments, and it also serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of other chemical compounds. Additionally, it exhibits properties that make it useful in redox reactions, acting as an electron acceptor. Its stability and reactivity are influenced by the presence of the methyl group, which can affect its electronic properties and interactions with other molecules. Safety precautions should be taken when handling this compound, as it may pose health risks upon exposure.
