2-Methyl anthraquinone CAS 84-54-8

What is 2-Methyl anthraquinone？

Yellow crystals. Insoluble in water, soluble in ethanol, ether, benzene and ethyl acetate. 2-Methyl anthraquinone has great industrial value. It is not only used as a chemical intermediate for synthesizing dark high-quality dyes, but also an efficient pulping additive in papermaking. It is also widely used in medicine, pesticides and many other aspects. The most common 2-Methyl anthraquinone is 2-Methyl anthraquinone, etc., and 2-Methyl anthraquinone can be modified according to different needs to synthesize target compounds.

Specification

Applications

1) In terms of dyes, 2-methylanthraquinone is first chlorinated or nitrated to synthesize a wide variety of anthraquinone dyes. Statistics show that there are hundreds of anthraquinone dyes with great commercial value.

2) In the papermaking process, 2-methylanthraquinone is a very efficient additive. It can penetrate into the interior of the wood chips and be reduced to 2-methylanthraquinone hydroquinone, which is unstable and easily oxidized. During this redox cycle, the components in the wood chips are oxidized, which intensifies the reaction and improves the efficiency of pulping.

3) In medicine, alkyl anthraquinones also have very significant medicinal value. According to the current research, the antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antiviral and tumor cell killing effects of anthraquinone compounds are constantly being explored, and some are applied to actual disease prevention work.
