Acenaphthenequinone Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

ochre powder and granules

Uses

Acenaphthenequinone is used in the preparation of acetylcholinesterase inhibitory agents. It is also used in the preparation of turn-on sensors for cysteine/homocysteine and its application in bioimaging. Further, it is used as an intermediate in manufacturing of dyes and pharmaceuticals. In addition to this, it is used in chemical research as a drug and therapeutic agent.

Definition

ChEBI: A member of the class of orthoquinones that is the 1,2-dioxo derivative of acenaphthene.

Safety Profile

Moderately toxic by an unspecifiedroute. When heated to decomposition it emits acrid smokeand irritating vapors.

Purification Methods

Extract it with, then recrystallise it twice from *C6H6. Dry it in vacuo. [LeFevre et al. J Chem Soc 974 1963, Beilstein 7 IV 2498.]
