The acid base properties of 1,4 and 1,8-anthraquinone derivatives were determined in methanol and acetonitrile by pH-spectroscopic measurements. The examined compounds was also characterized by electrochemically using cyclic voltammetry in DMSO solutions.
A series of 1,4-disubstituted aminoanthraquinones has been prepared from 1,4 ditosyloksyanthraquinone. The potentiometric and UV-spectrophotometric method have been used to study the acid-base properties of obtained compounds. The absorption spectra revealed the presence of vibroelectronic band in visible region for compounds containing two tertiary nitrogen groups. It indicates the separation of vibronic states in the molecule. Determined pKa values in acetonitrile used as a solvent indicate the influence of substitution of amino group on basicity of the anthraquinone moiety.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
