2,6-DIHYDROXYANTHRAQUINONE Chemical Properties,Usage,Production

Chemical Properties

solid

Uses

Anthraflavic acid can be used as a starting material to synthesize tetrahydroxy tetrathiafulvalene (TTF) derivatives, which are used as redox-active building blocks in supramolecular and materials science. It is also utilized to prepare phosphanylidene anthra[2,1-b]furans by reacting with dialkyl acetylenedicarboxylates and triphenylphosphine.

Definition

ChEBI: A dihydroxyanthraquinone that is anthracene substituted by hydroxy groups at C-3 and C-7 and oxo groups at C-9 and C-10.
