  2. Anthracene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthracene

    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. Anthracene is colorless but exhibits a blue (400–500 nm peak) fluorescence under ultraviolet radiation. [13]

  3. Clar's rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clar's_rule

    An aromatic π-sextet can be represented by a circle, as in the case of the anthracene molecule. Clar's rule states that for a benzenoid polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (i.e. with only hexagonal rings), the resonance structure with the largest number of disjoint aromatic π-sextets is the most important to characterize its chemical and physical ...

  4. Anthracycline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthracycline

    The basic structure of anthracyclines is that of a tetracyclic molecule with an anthraquinone backbone connected to a sugar moiety by a glycosidic linkage. When taken up by a cell the four ring structure intercalates between DNA bases pairs while the sugar sits within the minor groove and interacts with adjacent base pairs.

  5. Deoxyribonucleotide - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deoxyribonucleotide

    The third component, the phosphoryl group, attaches to the deoxyribose monomer via the hydroxyl group on the 5'-carbon of the sugar. When deoxyribonucleotides polymerize to form DNA, the phosphate group from one nucleotide will bond to the 3' carbon on another nucleotide, forming a phosphodiester bond via dehydration synthesis .

  6. Nucleotide base - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nucleotide_base

    DNA and RNA also contain other (non-primary) bases that have been modified after the nucleic acid chain has been formed. In DNA, the most common modified base is 5-methylcytosine (m 5 C). In RNA, there are many modified bases, including those contained in the nucleosides pseudouridine (Ψ), dihydrouridine (D), inosine (I), and 7-methylguanosine ...

  7. Elbs reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elbs_reaction

    As already demonstrated by Elbs in 1884 it is possible to obtain anthracene through dehydration. Larger aromatic systems like pentacene are also feasible. This reaction does not take place in a single step but leads first to dihydropentacene that is dehydrogenated in a second step with copper as a catalyst.

  8. Simple aromatic ring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_aromatic_ring

    Simple aromatic rings can be heterocyclic if they contain non-carbon ring atoms, for example, oxygen, nitrogen, or sulfur. They can be monocyclic as in benzene, bicyclic as in naphthalene, or polycyclic as in anthracene. Simple monocyclic aromatic rings are usually five-membered rings like pyrrole or six-membered rings like pyridine.

  9. Dibenz (a,h)anthracene - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dibenz(a,h)anthracene

    Dibenz[a,h]anthracene or 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.
