Source | in 1868, German chemists, Carl graeb, and Karl Liebermann alizarin was synthesized from anthracene extracted from coal tar. It is industrially prepared by heating anthraquinone-β-sulfonic acid, caustic soda and potassium chlorate or potassium nitrate together. It can also be obtained from the roots of the plant cordifolia. |
Overview | alizarin, also known as "1, 2-dihydroxyanthraquinone", yields orange or red prismatic needle-like crystals from ethanol. Soluble in ethanol, ether, acetone, benzene, water-soluble, insoluble in chloroform, but also soluble in NaOH and carbonate. Its alkaline aqueous solution is blue and brown in concentrated hydrochloric acid. It reacts with nitric acid to generate phthalic acid, reacts with sulfuric acid and manganese dioxide to generate 1,2, 4-trihydroxyanthraquinone, which can be reduced by zinc powder to anthracene, and reacts with Zn/NH3 to generate 3, 4-dihydroxyanthranone. It is present in the root of the root of the root of the root of the root of the root of the root of the root. for cotton dyeing and printing, bright red is obtained with aluminum mordant, red light brown is obtained with chromium mordant, purple is obtained with iron mordant, yellow-red color was obtained when using tin mordant. It is also used for dyeing wool and silk and for making alizarin lakes. They have recently been substituted for ice dyes. In addition, it can be used as acid-base indicator [pH5.5 (yellow) ~ 6.1 (red)], and as a drop test indicator of aluminum, indium, Mercury, etc. |
solubility | easy sublimation, almost insoluble in water, 100g of water can be dissolved in 0.034 * C. Soluble in ethanol and ether, acetone, benzene, CS2, hot methanol. Insoluble in chloroform. And pyridine can be dissolved indefinitely. |
preparation | with anthraquinone -2-sulfonic acid as raw material, it was heated to 50% ~ 180 ℃ with 200 sodium hydroxide solution and sodium nitrate, and reacted at a pressure of 1.0MPa for 20H. The reactants were diluted with water, adjusted to pH = 1.2~2 with sulfuric acid, and filtered, the filter residue was washed with water until neutral and dried to obtain crude alizarin. Refined alizarin can be obtained by sublimation or recrystallization in ethanol. |
Use | dye intermediate, acid-base indicator for the synthesis of acid dye media red S-80 and so on acid-base indicator (0.5% solution),pH color change range 5.5 (yellow)-6.8 (red). As a drop reagent for aluminum, indium, mercury, zinc and zirconium. Neural tissue and protozoan living stain. |
production method | in nature alizarin is present in the root of cordifolia. Melt anthraquinone -2-sulfonic acid with caustic soda and potassium chlorate or potassium nitrate, then pour the melt into hot water, and then precipitate alizarin with hydrochloric acid, 30g of sodium anthraquinone -2-sulfonate and 110g of sodium hydroxide were co-dissolved in 170 of water and reacted with 25g at ° C. In an autoclave. After cooling, the reaction was extracted several times with 150ml of water each time. The aqueous extract was filtered and the filtrate was acidified with hydrochloric acid. After cooling, the precipitated precipitate was suction-filtered, washed and dried to obtain about 20g of alizarin. |
