Acenaphthoquinone(CAS: 82-86-0)

Acenaphthoquinone is a polycyclic aromatic compound with the chemical formula C12H10O2. It is a dark brown crystalline solid with a distinctive odor. Acenaphthoquinone is soluble in common organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone.

Acenaphthoquinone is primarily used in the synthesis of dyes and pigments. It also serves as a precursor in the production of other organic compounds and has some applications in research and analytical chemistry.

Acenaphthoquinone can be toxic if ingested or inhaled. Proper handling requires the use of personal protective equipment such as gloves, safety goggles, and a lab coat. It is important to store it in a well-ventilated area and avoid exposure to heat and light to prevent degradation and potential hazards.

Acenaphthoquinone should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat and light. It should be kept in a tightly sealed container to protect it from moisture and contamination. Avoid storing it near incompatible materials such as strong acids or oxidizers.
