Description

2,3-Anthraquinonedicarboxylic acid is a molecule that can be synthesized by the dehydration of 4-tert-butylbenzoic acid in the presence of fluorine and chlorine. This compound has been shown to have antibacterial activity against gram-positive bacteria. 2,3-Anthraquinonedicarboxylic acid inhibits bacterial growth by binding to the functional groups on ribosomes and preventing protein synthesis. It also interacts with nitro groups and accepts electrons from polycarboxylic acids, which may lead to its increased antibacterial activity. The molecular structure of 2,3-anthraquinonedicarboxylic acid contains a double bond between carbons 2 and 3, which is broken down during synthesis. This reaction forms a disulfide bond.
