9-ACETYLANTHRACENE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

yellow to yellow-brown crystalline powder

Uses

9-Acetylanthracene is used in Organic Synthesis, Pharmaceuticals, Agrochemicals and Dyestuffs.

Uses

9-Acetylanthracene is used in the synthesis of luminescent moieties such as (9-anthryl)pyrazole (ANP) and 2,2-difluoro-4-(9-anthracyl)-6-methyl-1,3,2-dioxaborine. It is also used as a carrier ligand in the synthesis of fluorescent platinum(II) compounds.

Purification Methods

Crystallise 9-acetylanthracene from EtOH. [Masnori et al. J Am Chem Soc 108 1126 1986, Beilstein 7 II 450.]
