2-Methylanthraquinone Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

Heat toluene and anhydrous aluminum trichloride, control the temperature at 45-50°C, add phthalic anhydride under external cooling, and heat the mixture until the reaction is complete. The reaction mixture was poured into a 10% sulfuric acid aqueous solution, and the product-containing slurry was washed with water, layered and separated. The solvent layer containing the product is mixed with 5% sodium carbonate solution, filtered, washed, and dried to obtain 2-(p-toluoyl)benzoic acid, which is then heated with fuming sulfuric acid at 115°C for 1 hour to close the loop, and the product is poured into cold water. It is filtered, washed with water and dried.

Uses

It can be used as dye intermediate, sensitizer of photosensitive resin, organic synthesis raw material.
