Homophthalic anhydride - Introduction
Homophthalic anhydride, chemical formula C10H6O3, is an organic compound. The following is a description of the nature, use, preparation and safety information of Homophthalic anhydride:
Nature:
- Homophthalic anhydride is a white crystalline solid with a special aromatic odor.
-It is soluble in organic solvents such as ether and alcohol, but almost insoluble in water.
-Relatively stable in air, but with a low melting point (about 48°C), it will decompose when heated.
Use:
- Homophthalic anhydride is an important raw material for organic synthesis, which is widely used in the fields of drugs, dyes, resins, coatings and plastics.
-It can be used as a precursor of dyes, for example, for the synthesis of dyes such as anthraquinone orange.
- Homophthalic anhydride can also be used to synthesize polymer compounds containing phthalic anhydride ester bonds, such as synthetic cellulose esters.
Preparation Method:
-The common preparation method of Homophthalic anhydride is obtained by the thermal condensation reaction of hydroquinone and phthalic anhydride.
-In the reaction, dihydroxybenzene and phthalic anhydride are dehydrated at high temperature to form Homophthalic anhydride.
Safety Information:
- Homophthalic anhydride has a certain degree of irritation to the human body, and contact may cause eye and skin irritation.
-Wear appropriate protective equipment such as gloves, goggles and protective clothing during use.
-When storing and handling Homophthalic anhydride, avoid contact with strong oxidants and acidic substances to avoid dangerous reactions.
