Description
2-Methylanthraquinone is insoluble in water, but soluble in ethanol, ether, benzene and ethyl acetate. Its melting point is 170-173°C, and its boiling point is 236-238°C (10 mm Hg). Its density is about 1.1404, its vapor pressure is 0 Pa at 25°C, its refractive index is 1.6600, and its flash point is 209°C.
Application
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. It is unstable and easily oxidized. In 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 continuous 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.
