Celliton Fast Pink B

Chemical properties

deep purple to dark brown crystalline powder

The Uses of Celliton Fast Pink B

The use of the inclusion complex of 1-amino-4-hydroxyanthraquinone (AHA) in the internal cavity of β-cyclodextrin confers increased sensitivity, selectivity and detection limit, and allows the determination of 10-70 ng ml-1 beryllium, compared to 60-500 ng ml-1 in the absence of the cyclodextrin.

Safety Profile

Poison by intravenous route. Moderately toxic by intraperitoneal route. Mutation data reported. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NOx,.

Synthesis

1-Amino-4-hydroxyanthraquinone is prepared from 1-amino-4-hydroxyanthraquinone- 3-sulfonic acid by splitting off the SO3H group , from 1-benzoylamino-4-chloroanthraquinone by treatment with boric–sulfuric acid, or from 1-nitroanthraquinone by reduction with FeCl2 in sulfuric acid and rearrangement of the hydroxylamine stage , from 1,4-diaminoanthraquinone with MnO2 in sulfuric acid , or from 1-hydroxyanthraquinone by nitration followed by reduction with Na2S

Purification Methods

Purify it by TLC on SiO2 gel plates (0.75mm thick) using toluene/acetone (9:1) as eluent. The main band is scraped off and extracted with MeOH. The solvent is evaporated, and the dye is dried in a drying pistol [Land et al. J Chem Soc, Faraday Trans 1 72 2091 1976]. It has also been recrystallised from aqueous EtOH.
