References of 3-methylanthracene-1,8,9-triol
Title: Chrysarobin
CAS Registry Number: 491-59-8
Synonyms: Purified Goa powder; purified araroba
Literature References: Improperly called "medicinal chrysophanic acid". The name chrysarobin today has two meanings: (1) A commercial product consisting of 70-85% of different anthraquinone derivs extracted from Goa powder (Araroba); (2) A pure substance, (1,8-dihydroxy-3-methyl-9-anthrone; 3-methyl-1,8,9-anthracenetriol), reduction product of chrysophanic acid, q.v. This pure substance constitutes about 30% of commercial chrysarobin. Isoln of the commercial product from the wood of Andira araroba Aguiar [Vouacapoua araroba (Aguiar) Lyons], Leguminosae: Liebermann, Siedler, Ann. 212, 29 (1882); Hesse; ibid. 309, 53 (1899). Prepn of the pure substance by reduction of chrysophanic acid: Naylor, Gardner, J. Am. Chem. Soc. 53, 4114 (1931).
Properties: Commercial product, brownish to orange-yellow, microcrystalline, odorless, tasteless powder. Irritating to mucous membranes; causes dangerous inflammation if it enters the eye. Very slightly sol in water; 1 g dissolves in 385 ml alcohol, 30 ml benzene, 15 ml chloroform, 160 ml ether, 180 ml carbon disulfide; also sol in fats. Dissolves in alkali hydroxides or in H2SO4 with a red color and is pptd from the H2SO4 soln by diluting with H2O.
