Hyperxanthone - Introduction
5,9-dihydroxy-3, 3-dimethylpyrrano [3,2-a]xanthen-12(3H)-one, also known as 5,9-dihydroxy-3, 3-dimethylpyran [3,2-a] flavone -12(3H)-one. It is a yellow solid with hygroscopic properties.
This compound is a fluorescent dye that can be used for cell imaging and fluorescent labeling. It can be combined with protein, and can send out a strong fluorescence signal in the body, so it is widely used in biomedical research.
The method of preparing this compound is usually synthesized by the ketone aldehyde condensation reaction of Pyran. Specifically, Pyran is first reacted with formaldehyde to form a keto-aldehyde intermediate, then reacted with an aromatic aldehyde to undergo condensation, and finally the product is purified by heating and crystallization.
When using 5,9-dihydroxy-3, 3-dimethylpyrano[3,2-a]xanthen-12(3H)-one, you need to pay attention to safety. This compound is relatively stable in the dry state, but may be hygroscopic and discolored in a wet environment. In addition, it accelerates decomposition under conditions of high temperature, bright light and the presence of oxygen. Therefore, it should be kept dry and light shielded during storage and handling. At the same time, appropriate protective measures, such as wearing eye and skin protection equipment, should be taken to avoid contact or inhalation. If necessary, operate in a well-ventilated area and follow correct laboratory practices and safe operating procedures.
