3. Application: 2-alkyl anthraquinone is of great industrial value, not only as a chemical intermediate for the synthesis of dark high-quality dyes, but also as an efficient pulping additive in the papermaking process. It is also widely used in medicine and pesticides, etc. Among the 2-alkyl anthraquinone, 2-methyl anthraquinone and 2-ethyl anthraquinone are the most common, and 2-alkyl anthraquinone can be modified according to different needs to synthesize the target compound.

In terms of dyes, 2-methylanthraquinone is chlorinated or nitrated first, and then a wide variety of anthraquinone dyes can be synthesized. Statistics show that there are as many as hundreds of anthraquinone dyes.

In the papermaking process, 2-methylanthraquinone is a very efficient additive that can penetrate into the interior of the wood chip and be reduced to  2-methylanthrahydroquinone, which is unstable and easily oxidized, where the redox cycle in the process, the components in the wood chips are oxidized, which aggravates the reaction and improves the efficiency of pulping.

In medicine, alkylanthraquinones also have very significant medicinal value. According to continuous research at this stage, the antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and tumor-killing effects of anthraquinone compounds have been continuously explored, and some of them have been applied to actual disease fighting work.

Use: 1)Used for the production of advanced dyes and intermediates; 2)Used as a pharmaceutical intermediate, and a photosensitizer for organic synthetic materials, synthetic dyes, and photosensitive resins; 3)2-Methylanthraquinone is also used in smog dyes; 4)2-Methylanthraquinone may be used in the preparation of potential bioreducible anthraquinone derivatives.
