ANTHRAQUINONE (for synthesis) is a product provided by Research-Lab Fine Chem Industries. Laboratory reagents are chemicals which are used in laboratories as a part of experimental procedures. These reagents can be important parts of chemical reactions, analytical reagents or starting material for the production of other materials.

This ANTHRAQUINONE is meant for synthesis and is of laboratory grade. This is an aromatic organic compound with several isomers. It is poorly soluble in water but soluble in hot organic solvents. Anthraquinone is industrially produced by the oxidation of anthracene. Anthraquinone has a variety of applications in chemical and biological sectors. It is majorly used to produce synthetic dyes such as alizarin. Important derivatives obtained include 1-nitroanthraquinone, anthraquinone-1-sulfonic acid, and the dinitroanthraquinone. It is also used as a digester additive in production of paper pulp by alkaline processes. Anthraquinone is used to produce various drugs such as laxatives, antimalarials and anti-neoplastics. Industrially, this reagent is used for the production of hydrogen peroxide. This reagent is suitable for industrial synthesis of products and research applications.
