1,4-Dihydroxyanthraquinone, 95%, Thermo Scientific Chemicals

Description

1,4-Dihydroxyanthraquinone is used to color gasoline and some heating oils. It is used as an intermediate for the synthesis of indanthrene- and alizarin-derived dyes. It is also used to form lake pigments with calcium, barium and lead. It may be used in the synthesis of cyclopentanoids by cyclization of α,β-unsaturated aldehyde with 1, 4 1,4-Dihydroxyanthraquinone. It has been studied as a long range emissive ratiometric fluorescent probe for live cell imaging.

This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand.
