2-AMINOANTHRACENE Usage And Synthesis

Chemical Properties

yellow powder

Uses

2-Aminoanthracene can be used as a reactant to prepare:

• Steroid derived naphthoquinoline asphaltene compounds via multicomponent cyclocondensation reaction with 5-α-cholestan-3-one and aromatic aldehydes.
• Naphtho[2,3- f ]quinoline derivatives by reacting with aromatic aldehyde and acetone or acetophenone catalyzed by iodine.

Definition

ChEBI: Anthracen-2-amine is an anthracenamine.

General Description

Yellow to brownish-yellow powder or solid.

Air & Water Reactions

Insoluble in water.

Reactivity Profile

2-AMINOANTHRACENE may be unstable with prolonged exposure to air and light. Solutions of 2-AMINOANTHRACENE should be stable for 24 hours under normal lab conditions.

Health Hazard

ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: When heated to decomposition 2-AMINOANTHRACENE emits toxic fumes.

Fire Hazard

Flash point data for 2-AMINOANTHRACENE are not available; however, 2-AMINOANTHRACENE is probably combustible.

Safety Profile

Moderately toxic by intraperitoneal route. Suspected carcinogen with experimental carcinogenic and tumorigenic data. An experimental teratogen. Mutation data reported. See also AMINES. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx.
