WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH
REFINED ANTHRACENE? (Now available from Barrett 9 0 - 9 5 % pure) Barrett Anthracene is the first anthracene to be produced in the U.S. on a substantial commercial scale. Its high purity and ease of oxidation make it ideal for conversion into anthraquinone. This simple reaction involves only one basic material instead of the usual two—and no heavily toxic products. Barrett Anthracene may be the starting point for the production of valuable intermediates. It under goes both the Diels-Alder and Friedel-Crafts re
actions. It can be reduced, nitrated, sulfonated and reacted with halogens. In addition, anthracene ex hibits photosensitive properties . . . absorbs ultra violet light... and emits scintillations when exposed to certain types of radiation. Start right now to investigate the wealth of future applications suggested by anthracene. Write for technical information and samples of Barrett Anthracene.
