The Uses of Anthrone
Anthrone is a tricyclic aromatic ketone and related compound of anthracene. Anthrone is used as a reagent in the colorometric determination of carbohydrates.
The Uses of Anthrone
Used for determination of carbohydrates Anthrone is used for the determination of carbohydrates. It is used as a general reagent in the colorimetric determination of carbohydrates in yeast and plant extracts. It is involved in organic synthesis. It is utilized for the determination of sugar in body fluids. It finds application as a laxative.
What are the applications of Application
Anthrone is an aromatic hydrocarbon used to determine hydrocarbons
Definition
ChEBI: A member of the class of anthracenes that is 9,10-dihydroanthracene carrying an oxo group at C-9.
General Description
Anthrone has the ability to reduce aldehyde containing reducing sugars such as streptose and N-acetyl glucosamine present in streptomycin, into acids. It develops a red- violet color. Therefore, it is used to determine streptomycin quantitatively. Anthrone has been used to detect carbohydrate containing lipids and to measure sugar content such as sucrose and trehalose in the liquid medium.
Safety Profile
Mutation data reported. Whenheated to decomposition it emits acrid smoke andirritating vapors.
Purification Methods
This stable keto tautomer of 9-anthranol (above) provides yellow crystals from a 3:1 mixture of *C6H6/pet ether (b 60-80o) (10-12mL/g), or successively from *C6H6 then EtOH. Dry it in vacuo. [Meyer Org Synth Coll Vol I 60 1941, Beilstein 6 IV 4930.]
