Application

1,8-Dihydroxyanthraquinone can be used:
  • To prepare an inclusion complex with β-cyclodextrin, applicable as a sensor in the estimation of Cu2+ ions in an aqueous solution.
  • As a starting material in the synthesis of 1,4,5,8-tetramethoxyanthracene.
  • As an aromatic scavenger in the modification of lignin, which acts as a corrosion inhibitor for steel.
