2-Hydroxyanthracene（Cat No.:M007548） is a derivative of anthracene, a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon characterized by three fused benzene rings. The addition of a hydroxyl group at the 2-position on the anthracene structure introduces new chemical properties, such as increased polarity and potential for hydrogen bonding. This modification enhances its solubility in polar solvents compared to anthracene itself. 2-Hydroxyanthracene is used primarily in scientific research to study photophysical behaviors and in the synthesis of dyes and optical brighteners. It also serves as a building block in organic synthesis, particularly in the creation of complex molecular structures in materials science.
