coal tar chemical products | pyrene, also known as inlaid naphthalene, is one of the products processed by coal tar. its content in coal tar is about 0.6 ~ 1.2%, mainly concentrated in anthracene oil fraction. Pyrene is a solid aromatic compound whose molecule is composed of four benzene rings connected. The molecular formula of pyrene is C16H10, molecular weight is 202.26, melting point is 150 ℃, boiling point is 393 ℃, density is 1.277g/cm3. Pyrene is a light yellow monoclinic crystal, insoluble in water, soluble in benzene, toluene, carbon disulfide, ether and other organic solvents. Pyrene is a carcinogen, which is converted into mutagenic 1-nitropyrene under the action of nitrogen dioxide. The 1 and 6 positions in the pyrene molecule are easy to react with electrophiles, and oxidation and hydrogenation reactions can also occur. Pyrene can also undergo substitution reactions such as halogenation, nitration, and sulfonation. One substituent is 3-position, and the two substituents are 3,10-and 3,8-positions, with more 3,10-positions. 3,10-pyrene quinone and 3,8-pyrene quinone are obtained during oxidation, which are further oxidized to 1,4,5, 8-naphthalenic acid. pyrene can be used to produce dyes, such as indanthrine dye and anthraquinone vat dye. The extraction method of pyrene is: use the residual oil or asphalt distillate oil produced during the distillation of the anthracene oil fraction as the raw material, perform vacuum distillation, cut the fraction containing about 40% pyrene at 390~400 ℃, and then use the 25% coal tar solvent oil and 75% ethanol mixed solvent (the ratio of solvent amount to pyrene fraction is 1:12), and perform recrystallization several times until the product is qualified. Pyrene is a low-toxic compound. Mild irritation to skin, eyes, upper respiratory tract mucosa. Long-term inhalation can cause red blood cell reduction and mild liver and kidney damage. Long-term exposure to 3mg/m3~5mg/m3 can cause headache, fatigue, loss of appetite, and excitement. |
Probe for determining membrane lipid fluidity | Pyrene is a commonly used probe for determining membrane lipid fluidity. Its quantum yield is relatively high, but the excitation life is shorter than DPH(1,6-diphenyl-1, 3,5-hexatriene), so it is not sensitive enough to determine slight changes in lipid fluidity, suitable for systems with greater liquidity. The excitation wavelength of pyrene is 342nm and the emission wavelength is 383nm. The excitation spectrum and emission spectrum obviously overlap. Pyrene is mainly bound to the hydrocarbon chain of membrane lipids. After the monomer formed by the combination of a pyrene molecule and a membrane lipid molecule is excited by light, it approaches another unexcited pyrene molecule through lateral diffusion motion to form a collision compound, that is, an excitation dimer. The efficiency of exciting dimer formation depends on the concentration of pyrene binding to membrane lipids and the microviscosity of the medium in which pyrene is located. When the concentration and temperature of pyrene are constant, the ratio of the fluorescence intensity of the dimer to the monomer decreases with the increase of the micro-viscosity of the medium in which the pyrene is located, that is, the ratio of the fluorescence intensity of the dimer to the monomer to reflect The rate of lateral diffusion of lipid molecules. If the medium viscosity is large, the lateral diffusion rate is small and the fluidity is small.

It can also make pesticides, plasticizers, etc. Used to make synthetic resins, vat dyes and dispersible dyes. Direct oxidation to pyrene quinone, used to make vat dyes Pyrene can be prepared by oxidation 1,4,5, 8-naphthalenic acid, used in the production of dyes, synthetic resins, pesticides and other products Used as a raw material for the production of 1,4,5, 8-naphthalenic acid, and also used as a raw material for dyes, synthetic resins and engineering plastics |
production method | pyrene mainly exists in the distillate of coal tar pitch. Distill the medium-temperature asphalt under reduced pressure, and at the same time pass a small amount of direct superheated steam into the distillation kettle, cut the narrow fraction of pyrene, and then recrystallize with a mixed solution of solvent oil and ethanol, or a mixed solution of benzene and solvent oil to obtain industrial pyrene with 95% purity. |
