Anthracophyllone - Introduction
Anthracophyllone (commonly known as paleocyanin) is an organic compound with the chemical formula C14H12O2. It is a dark blue crystalline solid which is practically insoluble in water at normal temperature but soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol and dichloromethane.
The main use of Anthracophyllone is as a dye and pigment. Its dark blue pigment characteristics make it widely used in the dye industry, can be used for dyeing textiles, leather and ink and other fields. In addition, it is also commonly used as a painting pigment and oil paint, which can add a strong blue tone to the work.
The method of preparing Anthracophyllone can be carried out by the condensation reaction of phenol (phenol) and benzoic acid (benzoic acid). First, phenol and benzoic acid react under acidic conditions to produce McGill chloride. It is then reacted with dimethylnickel bromide to produce Anthracophyllone.
When using and handling Anthracophyllone, care should be taken to avoid inhalation, ingestion or skin contact. It is considered a toxic substance and may pose a potential risk to human health. Therefore, appropriate protective measures should be taken, such as wearing protective gloves, glasses and face masks. In addition, it needs to be stored in a dry, cool and well-ventilated place, away from fire sources and flammable substances. If necessary, follow local safe handling and disposal procedures for the use and disposal of Anthracophyllone.
