Use | The structure of acridine is similar to that of anthracene, and its chemical properties are also very close. After the hydrogen on the acridine benzene ring is replaced by an amino group, it is an intermediate of acridine dye. Among acridine compounds, some are antiseptic and can be used as medicines, such as acridine yellow and aldipine. It is used to make acridine dye and also as a fluorescent PH indicator (fluorescent pH indicator, when the pH value is about 4.5-5.5, the fluorescence can change from green to blue). It is used to make acridine dyes and also as a fluorescent pH indicator. Important parent compounds for the manufacture of dyes and drugs (such as acridine flavin and quiracine). a small cationic planar dye, mainly combined with RNA and DNA. Used for nucleic acid staining, especially for cell cycle determination. |
Production method | Made from acridone. Acridone is obtained from diphenylamine-2-carboxylic acid with sulfuric acid, and then reduced to 9, 10-dioxacridine with pentanol and sodium to obtain acridine after oxidation. Laboratory preparation can also be mixed with acridone and zinc powder for heating. The acridine sublimate generated by the reaction is dissolved in hydrochloric acid, and then alkalized with sodium hydroxide solution to precipitate precipitate and filter to obtain crude product. Recrystallization with methanol yields a fine product with a melting point of 110°C. |
