Absorption spectrum

Description

Yellow, needle-like crystals that are derived from Anthracene or Phthalic anhydride. Anthraquinone was first sold commercially in 1901. It was used as the starting material in the manufacture of many synthetic dyes, such as alizarin. Anthraquinone may be detected by the appearance of a red color on treatment with alkali, Zinc powder, and Water.

Synonyms and Related Terms

anthroquinone (sp); 9,10-anthracenedione; 9,10-anthraquinone; 9,10-dioxoanthracene; Morkit; Anthradione; Anthrachinon (Deut.); anthraquinon (Fr.); antrachinone (It.)

Chemical structure

Risks

Combustible. Flash point = 185C (365 F). Causes skin irritation.
