2-Aminoanthracene can be used as a reactant to prepare:
- Steroid derived naphthoquinoline asphaltene compounds via multicomponent cyclocondensation reaction with 5-α-cholestan-3-one and aromatic aldehydes.
- Naphtho[2,3- f ]quinoline derivatives by reacting with aromatic aldehyde and acetone or acetophenone catalyzed by iodine.
ChEBI: Anthracen-2-amine is an anthracenamine.
Yellow to brownish-yellow powder or solid.
2-AMINOANTHRACENE may be unstable with prolonged exposure to air and light. Solutions of 2-AMINOANTHRACENE should be stable for 24 hours under normal lab conditions.
ACUTE/CHRONIC HAZARDS: When heated to decomposition 2-AMINOANTHRACENE emits toxic fumes.
Flash point data for 2-AMINOANTHRACENE are not available; however, 2-AMINOANTHRACENE is probably combustible.
Moderately toxic by
intraperitoneal route. Suspected carcinogen
with experimental carcinogenic and
tumorigenic data. An experimental
teratogen. Mutation data reported. See also
AMINES. When heated to decomposition it
emits toxic fumes of NOx.
