2-Ethylanthraquinone Usage And Synthesis

Description

2-Ethylanthraquinone is an organic compound that is a derivative of anthraquinone. It is commonly used in the industrial production of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) due to its high selectivity. Another major application is the production of dyes². It can also be used as a photo-initiator of crosslinking or degradation of polyethylene³.

Chemical Properties

white or yellowish crystals or powder

Uses

Synthesis, especially of hydrogen peroxide.

Uses

2-Ethylanthraquinone can be used as a photoinitiator of crosslinking or degradation of polyethylene. It is used to produce hydrogen peroxide by hydrogenation with the help of Pd/polyaniline as the catalysts.

Flammability and Explosibility

Non flammable
