Anthracene is a solid polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) of formula C 14 H 10, consisting of three fused benzene rings. It is a component of coal tar . Anthracene is used in the production of the red dye alizarin and other dyes, as a Scintillator to detect high energy particles, as production of pharmaceutical drugs.
7,12-Dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) is an immunosuppressor and a powerful organ-specific laboratory carcinogen. [2] DMBA is widely used in many research laboratories studying cancer. DMBA serves as a tumor initiator .
As of 2010, the IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer) has classified dibenz(a,j)anthracene as possibly carcinogenic to humans, grouped into IARC group 2B.No epidemiological studies on human exposure to dibenz(a,j)anthracene as an individual PAH exist, because PAHs always occur as components of complex chemical mixtures and never occur in isolation in the environment.
9,10-Dihydroanthracene is an organic compound that is derived from the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon anthracene. Several isomers of dihydroanthracene are known, but the 9,10 derivative is most common. It is a colourless solid that is used as a carrier of H 2 as a hydrogen-donor. [2]
Benz[a]anthracene or benzo[a]anthracene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon with the chemical formula C 18 H 12. [2] It is produced during incomplete combustion of organic matter. Benz[ a ]anthracene is one of carcinogenic constituents of tobacco smoke .
9-Anthracenemethanol is the derivative of anthracene with a hydroxymethyl group (CH 2 OH) attached to the 9-position. It is a colorless solid that is soluble in ordinary organic solvents. The compound can be prepared by hydrogenation of 9-anthracenecarboxaldehyde. It is a versatile precursor to supramolecular assemblies.
The oxidation of anthracene. Chromium(VI) is the typical oxidant. The Friedel-Crafts reaction of benzene and phthalic anhydride in presence of AlCl 3. o-Benzoylbenzoic acid is an intermediate. This reaction is useful for producing substituted anthraquinones. The Diels-Alder reaction of naphthoquinone and butadiene followed by oxidative ...
Dibenz[a,h]anthracene, Benzo[k]tetraphene or 1,2:5,6-Dibenzanthracene is an organic compound with the chemical formula C 22 H 14. It is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) made of five fused benzene rings. It is a fused five-ringed PAH which is common as a pollutant of smoke and oils.
