Description
Anthraquinone, also called anthracenedione or dioxoanthracene is an aromatic organic compound with formula C14H8O2, that can be viewed as a diketone derivative of anthracene (with loss of two double bonds in the latter).
The term usually refers to one specific isomer, 9,10-anthraquinone or 9,10-dioxoanthracene, whose ketone groups are on the central ring. This compound is an important member of the quinone family. It is a building block of many dyes and is industrially used in bleaching pulp for papermaking. It is a yellow highly crystalline solid, poorly soluble in water but soluble in hot organic solvents. For instance, it is almost completely insoluble in ethanol near room temperature but 2.25 g will dissolve in 100 g of boiling ethanol.
Several other anthraquinone isomers are possible, such as 1,2-, 1,4-, and 2,6-anthraquinone, but they are of comparatively minor importance. The term is also used in the more general sense of any compound that can be viewed as an anthraquinone with some hydrogen atoms replaced by other atoms or functional groups. These derivatives include many substances that are technically useful or play important roles in living beings.
