Non-linear polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon | Phenanthrene is the simplest non-linear polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon with three benzene ring structures, isomer of anthracene. In 1872, E.Ostermayer and others found phenanthrene in Anthracene oil fraction of coal tar, which is one of the processing products of coal tar. The content of phenanthrene in high temperature coal tar is only next to naphthalene, about 4 ~ 6%, mainly concentrated in an Anthracene oil fraction. The chemical activity of phenanthrene is stronger than naphthalene, but weaker than anthracene, 9,10 can also occur oxidation, addition and other reactions. Phenanthrene is a lustrous colorless crystal, the phenanthrene precipitated from ethanol is a colorless monoclinic flaky crystal, and the phenanthrene obtained by sublimation is a leaf-like crystal with a relative density of 1.179(25/4 ℃), refractive Index of 1.6450, melting point of 101 ℃, boiling point of 340 ℃, sublimation, insoluble in water, ethanol-soluble, soluble in ether, benzene, acetic acid, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride and carbon disulfide, the solution gave blue fluorescence. The 1, 4,5,8-position in the molecule is the same as the α-position; The 2,3,6,7-position is the β-position; 9, the 10-position identity is referred to as the γ-position. Chemical properties between naphthalene and anthracene. It can also undergo an addition reaction at the 9,10-position, but is not as easy as anthracene. Oxidation also takes place at the 9,10-position, to give phenanthrone. Substitution reactions may also occur. Phenanthrene can be separated from the Anthracene oil fraction of coal tar. Phenanthrene can be used in the manufacture of pesticides and dyes, etc., and also used as a stabilizer for high efficiency and low toxicity pesticides and smokeless propellants and other explosives. Phenanthrene can be used to produce dyes, drugs and resins after conversion processing. Phenanthrene oxidation products phenanthrene quinone can be used as dyes, fungicides and polymerization inhibitors; 9,10-biphthalic acid is used for the preparation of polyester and alkyd resin, 10-dihydro-9-phenanthrene carboxylic acid is a plant-growing growth hormone; Phenanthrene is a full-hydrogen phenanthrene produced by hydrogenation of phenanthrene and can be used to produce jet fuel; Sulfonated phenanthrene sulfonic acid, it can be used as a binder and tanning agent. The mother liquor containing phenanthrene obtained when the anthracene was purified by the solvent method was washed with the recovered solvent and then recrystallized and filtered to obtain crude phenanthrene containing 40% phenanthrene. Crude Phenanthrene is removed from the residual solvent in the melting kettle, then it is rectified in a rectification column with 20 theoretical trays, and the fraction at 335~340 ℃ is cut out. After cooling, crystallization and filtration give a commercial phenanthrene containing more than 70% of the phenanthrene. |
molecular structure | the molecular structure of phenanthrene is similar to that of anthracene, all atoms in the molecule are on the same plane, but not on the same straight line, is a closed conjugated system, with aromatic. 1,2,3,4,10 and 5,6,7,8,9 in the molecule, but there is a difference in the activity of 5 positions, among them, the activity of 9 and 10 positions is higher, and the substitution, oxidation and addition reactions are first carried out at the 9 and 10 positions: phenanthroquinone is a pesticide, which is used as a bactericidal seed dressing agent, can prevent Wheat scab, head smut and sweet potato spot disease. commercially, Phenanthrene is extracted from the Anthracene oil fraction obtained by distillation of coal tar. Many natural products (such as sterols) contain this ring system in the molecule. Phenanthrene is mainly used in the manufacture of dyes, drugs, high-efficiency and low-toxicity pesticides, and can be used as scintillation agents, smoke-free powder stabilizers. Many derivatives of phenanthrene have carcinogenic physiological effects. Such as: The molecular structure of 2-methyl -3, 4-benzophenanthrene and 1,2,3, 4-dibenzophenanthrene |
Application | used in the preparation of phenanthrene quinone, synthetic resins, pesticides, preservatives, etc, used to replace the organic mercury agent pesticide xilisheng, Selex, the oxidation of biphenyl acid can be used for the preparation of alkyd resin, phenanthrene oxidation can also be Phthalic anhydride, cyclohexanone, phenol. Phenanthrene chlorinated products can be used to make non-flammable electrical insulators and impregnants. The phenanthrene sulfonic acid obtained by The sulfonation of Phenanthrene can be used to prepare binders, tanning materials, and the like. In practice, however, most of these areas of application remain to be developed. In the paper industry, the Phenanthrene can be used as pulp fogging agent; Also can be used for nitroglycerin explosive and nitrocellulose stabilizer and manufacturing smoke; Phenanthrene solid oxide can be made flame resistance good electrical insulation materials and fillers. In medicine, phenanthrene synthetic alkaloids-morphine and caffeine, dimethylmorphine and many of the reproductive organs have special physiological effects of medicine. In the dye industry, Phenanthrene can be prepared from 2-amino phenanthrone, phenylanthrone, sulfide vat dyes (blue BO, black BB and Brown), etc. In addition, synthetic tanning agents in the plastic industry, as well as the hydrogenation of Phenanthrene at high temperatures and pressures, are available as a fuel for advanced jet aircraft.

production method | Phenanthrene is a component with more content in coal tar, accounting for about 5% of coal tar, second only to naphthalene content. Coal tar 300-360 deg C distillation range of an Anthracene oil, the content of phenanthrene, followed by anthracene and carbazole. The method of extracting Phenanthrene is usually to cool and crystallize an Anthracene oil, and then remove the oil by vacuum suction filtration or centrifugal filtration. More phenanthrene dissolved in oil can be recovered by precision distillation. The crystals obtained are referred to as crude anthracene and contain 25-30% of anthracene, 22-25% of carbazole, and about 30% of phenanthrene. The crude anthracene is extracted with heavy benzene, cooled, and filtered. The filtrate is distilled off of the solvent, and then recrystallized and filtered. Industrial Phenanthrene is obtained by distilling the filtrate, and refined Phenanthrene is obtained by sulfonation and crystallization. |
