CAS 24463-19-2: 9-(Chloromethyl)anthracene

Applications 9-Anthracenylmethyl Chloride is a derivative of Anthracene (A678400) which is an important source of dyestuffs. It is a reagent for the protection of carboxylic acids, alcohols, phenols and thiols as their 9-anthrylmethyl derivatives, which are stable to mild acid or base, but specifically cleaved by NaSMe. Not a dangerous good if item is equal to or less than 1g/ml and there is less than 100g/ml in the package References Kornblum, N., et al.: J. Am. Chem. Soc., 96, 590 (1974)

9-(Chloromethyl)anthracene

9-(Chloromethyl)anthracene is a fluorescent derivative that has been used as a fluorescence probe for hydrogen bond and UV absorption. It can be used to detect hydrogen bonds in analytical methods, and it also has chromatographic properties. 9-(Chloromethyl)anthracene is membrane permeable and inhibits the growth of bacteria. It is used in the detection of urinary tract infections by measuring its fluorescence intensity after reacting with urine samples. 9-(Chloromethyl)anthracene has optical sensor properties that have been used to measure electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), which provides information about the activation energies of molecules.
